The influence of the Co doping on the properties of zinc oxide films was investigated. The films were grown by oxygen and water assisted metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD). The large positive magnetoresistance (PMR) was observed in Co doped films at low temperatures while the negative magnetoresistance was observed in undoped ZnO films deposited under the same conditions. The relative variation of resistivity was comparable in the films grow by oxygen and water assisted MOCVD although the resistivity and its temperature dependence were significantly different. The magnitude of PMR increases with an increase of the Co content and with the decrease of temperature.

ABSTRACTThermoelectric (TE) properties of erbium-silicon co-doped InxGa1-xN alloys (InxGa1-xN: Er + Si, 0≤x≤0.14), grown by metal organic chemical vapor deposition, have been investigated. It was found that doping of InGaN alloys with Er atoms of concentration, N[Er] larger than 5x1019 cm-3, has substantially reduced the thermal conductivity, κ, in low In content InGaN alloys. It was observed that κ decreases as N[Er] increases in Si co-doped In0.10Ga0.90N alloys. A room temperature ZT value of ~0.05 was obtained in In0.14Ga0.86N: Er + Si, which is much higher than that obtained in un-doped InGaN with similar In content. Since low In content InGaN is stable at high temperatures, these Er+Si co-doped InGaN alloys could be promising TE materials for high temperature applications.
