ABSTRACTAmorphous hydrogenated silicon-tin films (α — Six Snx:H) have been prepared by co-electron beam and Knudsen cell deposition. It is shown that the dependence of Eg on x, over the entire range of 0 < x < 0.51 studied, cannot be described by a single linear relationship. The d.c. conductivity measurements indicate two distinct conduction regions as a function of x. The addition of Sn up to x = 0.10 creates a high density of dangling bonds and moves the band edges so a significant conductivity increase is observed. The bonding between Si and H is preferred to Sn and H. Sn-H bonds were observed only for x > 0.40. Photoluminescence measurements show that band edge luminescence dominates at 1.3–1.4 eV.

Background: The electrical and optical properties of nanoparticle-based devices depend on the shape, dimension and uniformity of these particles. Methods: In this work, we fabricated ordered Au nanodots using electron beam lithography and thermal evaporation. Au nanodot diameter and circularity varied with a changed exposure dose and resist thickness. Electron beam dose ranged from 5 fC to 200 fC for single dot patterns. Commonly used PMMA thin films of thicknesses 60 nm and 100 nm coated samples were used for investigating the resist thickness dependency with varying dose exposure. Results: The analyses of patterns show that the diameter and circularity of the Au nanodots ranged from smaller to larger diameters and from lower to higher circularities with increasing dose and resist thickness. Conclusion: The distributions of the nanodot diameter began to show Gaussian behavior at larger electron doses. Besides, single circularity value became dominant up to the medium doses and then a homogeneous distribution was observed with the increasing dose.
