Iv-vi Compound Doping Superlattices
نویسندگان
چکیده
Doping superlattices ("nipi's") made of IV-VI compounds are interesting both with respect to their extraordinary physical properties and their possible applications for infrared optoelectronic devices. The properties of PbTe nipi's are reviewed with emphasis on band structure, lifetime of non-equilibrium carriers and photo-sensitivity.

Theoretical investigation of polarization-compensated II-IV/I-V perovskite superlattices
Recent work suggested that head-to-head and tail-to-tail domain walls could be induced to form in ferroelectric superlattices by introducing compensating “delta doping” layers via chemical substitution in specified atomic planes Phys. Rev. B 73, 020103 R 2006 . Here we investigate a variation in this approach in which superlattices are formed of alternately stacked groups of II-IV and I-V perov...
متن کاملCollective Magnetic Behavior of Graphene Nanohole Superlattices
Address correspondence to fl [email protected] ABSTRACT We predict a new class of 2-D crystalline “bulk” magnets—the graphene nanohole (GNH) superlattices with each GNH acting like a “super” magnetic atom, using first principles calculations. We show that such superlattices can exhibit long-range magnetic order above room temperature, with a collective magnetic behavior governed by inter-NH spin ...
متن کاملCross-plane Seebeck coefficient and Lorenz number in superlattices
Low dimensional and nanostructured materials have shown great potential to achieve much higher thermoelectric figure of merits than their bulk counterparts. Here, we study the thermoelectric properties of superlattices in the cross-plane direction using the Boltzmann transport equation and taking into account multiple minibands. Poisson equation is solved self-consistently to include the effect...
متن کاملProgress towards terahertz acoustic phonon generation in doping superlattices
Progress is described in experiments to generate coherent terahertz acoustic phonons in silicon doping superlattices by the resonant absorption of nanosecond-pulsed far-infrared laser radiation. Future experiments are proposed that would use the superlattice as a transducer in a terahertz cryogenic acoustic reflection microscope with sub-nanometer resolution.
متن کاملElectronic structure and dispersion of compensated n-i-p-i superlattices with small period lengths.
A detailed calculation of energy-band structures and dispersion relation of compensated n-i-p-i superlattices with small period lengths is presented. The calculation is based on a multistepfunction approach to the real potential form and the transfer-matrix method. The densities of states of conduction subbands have been calculated. %'e found that the density of states is different for difteren...
