AbstractWe present characteristics of Al/Si3N4/Si/n-GaAs metal-insulator-semiconductor (MIS) interfaces grown on GaAs(111)B prepared with a combination of in situ molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) and chemical vapor deposition (CVD) techniques . The density of the surface states in the high 1010 eV-1 cm-2 near the GaAs midgap for the GaAs grown at 575°C and 625°C was obtained. The MIS structure with GaAs homoepitaxial layer grown at 625°C, showing smoother surface morphology than the surface grown at 575 °C, exhibited small hysteresis which was as small as 30 mV under a field excursion of 1.5 MV/cm. The presence of a 1 MHz frequency response at 77 K suggests that the traps be within 60 meV of the conduction band edge of GaAs.

Scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and spectroscopy have been performed on a nanostructure "line-like pattern" appearing on atomically flat terraces of bcc-Fe (001) with a c(2 × 2) reconstructed structure. Atomically resolved STM reveals that the line-like pattern consists of regularly aligned surface atoms that have a similar symmetry to the (1 × 1) structure of Fe (001). The line-like pattern plays a role of domain boundaries of c(2 × 2) domains. The patterns exhibit bias-voltage dependent image contrast in the STM topographic images. In negative sample bias-voltage range the patterns appear lower than the c(2 × 2) domains and higher in positive range. In dI/dV tunneling spectra taken on the patterns a shoulder is observed around +0.2 V. On the other hands, a small salient is distinguished around +0.4 V in the spectra taken on the c(2 × 2) domains. These features are originated from surface states existing on bcc-Fe (001) surfaces with (1 × 1) structure and c(2 × 2) reconstructed structure, respectively. Emergence of the line-like patterns results in the difference of tunneling conductance.

Experimental studies of the admittance of MIS structures based on pentacene with a two-layer dielectric SiO2-Al2O3 and various materials for backward contact (Au, Al, In, Ag) have been carried out in a wide range of frequencies, temperatures, and biases. The concentration of holes in the organic film of pentacene, found from the capacitance-voltage characteristics, took rather high values (in the range (4-40)×1017 cm-3). The magnitude of the hysteresis of the electrophysical characteristics turned out to be minimal for structures with Ag and In reverse contacts. Significant hysteresis was found for structures with reverse contacts made of Au and Al at 300 K. For a structure with a reverse contact made of Al, with a forward voltage sweep in a weak accumulation mode, a maximum capacitance was observed, which can be associated with a recharge of the level of surface states at the interface between the inorganic insulator and pentacene. An equivalent circuit of a pentacene-based MIS structure is proposed, which allows one to calculate the frequency dependences of the impedance under various conditions. The values of the elements of the equivalent circuit are found at various biases and temperatures. For structures with backward contacts made of Au and Ag, maxima on the temperature dependence of the conductance associated with the recharge of bulk traps in the organic pentacene film were found.

Au /n-type 4H - SiC diodes were fabricated and their electrical characteristics have been investigated by using the capacitance/conductance-voltage-frequency (C–V–f and G/w–V–f) measurements method at room temperature. The main parameters such as the doping atoms (ND), diffusion potential (VD) and barrier height (ΦB(C–V)) values were obtained from the reverse bias C-2–V plots for each frequency. C and G/ω values decrease with increasing frequency as almost exponential for each voltage and these changes in C and G/ω are considerably high at low frequencies due to the contribution of surface states (Nss) to the measured C and G/ω. The resistivity (Ri) versus V plots were also obtained by using the C and G data and they exhibit an anomalous peak which is corresponding to the depletion region at each frequencies and its magnitude decreases with increasing frequency. The energy density distribution of Nss and their relaxation time (τ) were obtained from the conductance method and they range from 1.53 × 1014 eV-1 cm-2 to 1.03 × 1014 eV-1 cm-2 and 1.29 × 10-4 s to 3.35 × 10-5 s, respectively, in the energy range of (0.585-Ev) – (0.899-Ev) eV. The voltage dependent of Nss was also obtained from C HF – C LF method. The obtained value of Nss is about 1014 eV-1 cm-2 order and these values are suitable for an electronic device.

The nature of the block of potassium conductance by strychnine in frog node of Ranvier was investigated. The block is voltage-dependent and reaches a steady level with a relaxation time of 1 to several ms. Block is increased by depolarization or a reduction in [K+]O as well as by increasing strychnine concentration. A quaternary derivative of strychnine produces a similar block only when applied intracellularly. In general and in detail, strychnine block resembles that produced by intracellular application of the substituted tetraethylammonium compounds extensively studied by C.M. Armstrong (1969. J. Gen Physiol. 54:553-575. 1971. J. Gen. Physiol. 58:413-437). The kinetics, voltage dependence, and dependence on [K+]O of strychnine block are of the same form. It is concluded that tertiary strychnine must cross the axon membrane and block from the axoplasmic side in the same fashion as these quaternary amines.
