Controlling electronic properties of epitaxial nanocomposites of dissimilar materials
نویسنده
چکیده
The electronic properties of epitaxial semiconductors are strongly modified by the inclusion of semi-metallic nanoparticles grown in the semiconductor. For example, epitaxial semi-metallic nanoparticles can donate carriers, pin Fermi levels, shorten electron–hole recombination times, enhance electron tunneling and increase scattering of phonons in semiconductor host layers. There are dozens of cubic semi-metallic group III–V rare-earth compounds that can potentially be grown as nanoparticles in the III–V semiconductors. The largest number of studies to date have involved nanocomposites of erbium-based compounds in arsenide and antimonide semiconductors. Their molecular beam epitaxy growth, properties and device applications will be reviewed. r 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

In this report, ultraviolet (UV) detectors were fabricated based on zinc oxide thin films. The epitaxial growth of zinc oxide thin films was carried out on bare glass substrate with preferred orientation to (002) plane of wurtzite structure through radio frequency sputtering technique. The structural properties indicated a dominant peak at 2θ=34.28º which was matched with JCPDS reference card N...

Metamaterials made of nanoscale inclusions or artificial unit cells exhibit exotic optical properties that do not exist in natural materials. Promising applications, such as super-resolution imaging, cloaking, hyperbolic propagation, and ultrafast phase velocities have been demonstrated based on mostly micrometer-scale metamaterials and few nanoscale metamaterials. To date, most metamaterials a...
