Contact Radius and the Insulator-Metal Transition in Films Comprised of Touching Semiconductor Nanocrystals.
Nanocrystal assemblies are being explored for a number of optoelectronic applications such as transparent conductors, photovoltaic solar cells, and electrochromic windows. Majority carrier transport is important for these applications, yet it remains relatively poorly understood in films comprised of touching nanocrystals. Specifically, the underlying structural parameters expected to determine...
متن کاملMetal-insulator transition in a doped semiconductor
Millikelvin measurements of the conductivity as a function of donor density and uniaxial stress in bulk samples of phosphorus-doped silicon establish that the transition from metal to insulator is continuous, but sharper than predicted by scaling theories of localization. The divergence of the dielectric susceptibility as the transition is approached from below also points out problems in curre...
متن کاملMetal-insulator transition in ultrathin LaNiO3 films.
Transport in ultrathin films of LaNiO(3) evolves from a metallic to a strongly localized character as the film's thickness is reduced and the sheet resistance reaches a value close to h/e(2), the quantum of resistance in two dimensions. In the intermediate regime, quantum corrections to the Drude low-temperature conductivity are observed; they are accurately described by weak localization theor...
متن کاملTerahertz conductivity of thin gold films at the metal-insulator percolation transition
Terahertz time-domain spectroscopy is used to measure the complex conductivity of nanometer-thick gold films evaporated on silicon substrates in the far-infrared spectral region from 0.2 to 2.7 THz. With increasing film thickness a characteristic crossover from an insulating to a conducting state via a percolation transition is observed. Of particular interest is the characteristic non-Drude be...
متن کاملMetal-insulator transition in semiconductor alloys probed by persistent photoconductivity.
The metal-insulator transition (MIT) caused purely by alloy disorder in a Zno 3Cdo 7Se semiconductor alloy has been probed by using persistent photoconductivity. Key parameters that describe the MIT, including the critical electron concentration n, and the energy tail states distribution parameter Eo, have been determined experimentally. Our results, together with those obtained for impurity-do...
