LATTICE LOCATION AND OPTICAL ACTIVATION OF RARE EARTH IMPLANTED GaN
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper reviews the current knowledge on rare earths (REs) implanted into GaN with a special focus on their lattice location and on the optical activation by means of thermal annealing. While emission channeling experiments have given information on the lattice location of rare earths following low-dose (≈10 cm) implantation, both in the asimplanted state and after annealing up to 900°C, the lattice location of higher-dose implants (10-10 cm) and their defect annealing behaviour were studied using the Rutherford backscattering/channeling method. The available channeling and luminescence results suggest that the optical activation of implanted REs in GaN is related to their incorporation in substitutional Ga sites combined with the effective removal of the implantation damage.

Utilization of native oxygen in Eu(RE)-doped GaN for enabling device compatibility in optoelectronic applications
The detrimental influence of oxygen on the performance and reliability of V/III nitride based devices is well known. However, the influence of oxygen on the nature of the incorporation of other co-dopants, such as rare earth ions, has been largely overlooked in GaN. Here, we report the first comprehensive study of the critical role that oxygen has on Eu in GaN, as well as atomic scale observati...
متن کاملThe Electronic Structure and Optical Properties of Anatase TiO2 with Rare Earth Metal Dopants from First-Principles Calculations
The electronic and optical properties of the rare earth metal atom-doped anatase TiO₂ have been investigated systematically via density functional theory calculations. The results show that TiO₂ doped by Ce or Pr is the optimal choice because of its small band gap and strong optical absorption. Rare earth metal atom doping induces several impurity states that tune the location of valence and co...
متن کاملANNEALING BEHAVIOR AND LATTICE SITE LOCATION OF Er IMPLANTED InGaN
Single crystalline InGaN epilayers with different In content were implanted with Er fluences in the range of 1×10 to 5×10 cm at room temperature. The structural changes and lattice site location were studied with emission channeling and RBS/channeling. Photoluminescence measurements were also performed to study the optical properties of the implanted samples. After implantation of 1×10 Er cm, t...
متن کاملMeasuring the spatial distribution of rare-earth dopants in high-power optical fibers
For the first time, a non-destructive technique for spatially resolving the location and relative concentration of rare-earth dopants in an optical fiber is demonstrated. This novel technique is based on computerized tomographic detection of spontaneous emission and achieves micron-scale spatial resolution with the aid of oil-immersion imaging. In addition to elucidating interactions between th...
متن کاملPlanar surface implanted diffractive grating couplers in SOI.
Grating couplers are used to efficiently couple light from an optical fibre to a silicon waveguide as they allow light to be coupled into or out from any location on the device without the need for cleaving. However, using the typical surface relief grating fabrication method reduces surface planarity and hence makes further processing more difficult. The ability to manufacture high quality mat...
