Hopping conduction in Mn-doped ZnO
نویسندگان
چکیده
The dc and ac conductivities of Mn-doped ZnO were investigated at temperatures from 10 to 100 K. The temperature dependence of the dc conductivity from 10 to 100 K shows an abrupt change at ;18 K, manifesting a much lower activation energy for conduction below 18 K. From 10 to 18 K, the ac conductivity, sac(v), varies as sac(v)5Av s in the frequency range from 10 to 10 Hz with s in the range of 0.6–1. The dc and ac conductivity observations suggest that the dominant conduction mechanism at temperatures between 10 to 18 K in these samples is a hopping conduction. © 2003 American Institute of Physics. @DOI: 10.1063/1.1535262#

Trap Exploration in Amorphous Boron-Doped ZnO Films
This paper addresses the trap exploration in amorphous boron-doped ZnO (ZnO:B) films using an asymmetric structure of metal-oxide-metal. In this work, the structure of Ni/ZnO:B/TaN is adopted and the ZnO:B film is deposited by RF magnetron sputtering. The as-deposited ZnO:B film is amorphous and becomes polycrystalline when annealing temperature is above 500 °C. According to the analysis of con...
