چکیده

We report on the measurement of drift properties of electrons and holes in a CdTe diode grown by the travelling heating method (THM). Mobility and lifetime of both charge carriers has been measured independently at room temperature and fixed bias voltage using charge integration readout electronics. Both electrode sides of the detector have been exposed to a 241Am source in order to obtain events with full contributions of either electrons or holes. The drift time has been measured to obtain the mobility for each charge carrier. The Hecht equation has been employed to evaluate the lifetime. The measured values for μτe/h (mobility-lifetime product) are in agreement with earlier published data.

Recombination dynamics in CdTe/CdSe type-II quantum dots.

Recombination dynamics in CdTe/CdSe core-shell type-II quantum dots (QDs) has been investigated by time-resolved photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy. A very long PL decay time of several hundred nanoseconds has been found at low temperature, which can be rationalized by the spatially separated electrons and holes occurring in a type-II heterostructure. For the temperature dependence of the radi...

Electron-Hole Pair Creation at Ag and Cu Surfaces by Adsorption of Atomic Hydrogen and Deuterium

Hot electrons and holes created at Ag and Cu surfaces by adsorption of thermal hydrogen and deuterium atoms have been measured directly with ultrathin metal film Schottky diode detectors on Si(111). When the metal surface is exposed to these atoms, charge carriers are excited at the surface, travel ballistically toward the interface, and have been detected as a chemicurrent in the diode. The cu...

High mobility WSe2 p- and n-type field-effect transistors contacted by highly doped graphene for low-resistance contacts.

We report the fabrication of both n-type and p-type WSe2 field-effect transistors with hexagonal boron nitride passivated channels and ionic-liquid (IL)-gated graphene contacts. Our transport measurements reveal intrinsic channel properties including a metal-insulator transition at a characteristic conductivity close to the quantum conductance e(2)/h, a high ON/OFF ratio of >10(7) at 170 K, and...

Characterization of charge collection in CdTe and CZT using the transient current technique

The charge collection properties in different particle sensor materials with respect to the shape of the generated signals, the electric field within the detector, the charge carrier mobility and the carrier lifetime are studied with the transient current technique (TCT). Using the well-known properties of Si as a reference, the focus is laid on Cadmium-Telluride (CdTe) and Cadmium-Zinc-Telluri...
