Band-tail states in a Zn0.3Cd0.7Se semiconductor alloy probed by persistent photoconductivity.
The distribution of the conduction-band tail states in a Zn03Cd07Se II-VI semiconductor alloy has been determined experimentally using persistent photoconductivity (PPC) transient measurements, and is confirmed to be exponential. Our results show that the transport properties in II-VI semiconductor alloys are strongly influenced by tail states caused by alloy disorder. A class of transport prop...
متن کاملMetal-insulator transition in semiconductor alloys probed by persistent photoconductivity.
The metal-insulator transition (MIT) caused purely by alloy disorder in a Zno 3Cdo 7Se semiconductor alloy has been probed by using persistent photoconductivity. Key parameters that describe the MIT, including the critical electron concentration n, and the energy tail states distribution parameter Eo, have been determined experimentally. Our results, together with those obtained for impurity-do...
متن کاملSurfactant effects of gallium on quality of AlN epilayers grown via metal-organic chemical-vapour deposition on SiC substrates
Effects of gallium as a surfactant for the growth of AlN epilayers on SiC substrates by metal-organic chemical-vapour deposition have been studied. It was found that the use of gallium as a surfactant enables the growth of thick, crack-free AlN epilayers on SiC substrates. The photoluminescence and x-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis show that gallium surfactant can reduce some of the tensile stra...
متن کاملDisorder and persistent photoconductivity in ZnxCd1-xSe semiconductor alloys.
A theoretical formula based on carrier scattering in systems with a certain degree of disorder has been derived, which describes well the buildup transients of persistent photoconductivity and carrier transport due to the conduction-band tail states in semiconductor alloys. Important parameters, including the distribution of tail states caused purely by alloy disorder, can be obtained by compar...
متن کاملSpin polarization and electronic structure of ferromagnetic Mn5Ge3 epilayers
Semiconductor spintronics has recently been recognized for its potential to combine the spin selectivity and nonvolatility of ferromagnetic compounds with the ability to fabricate hybrid thin-film devices naturally integrated with conventional semiconductors [1]. Yet in order to succeed in technological applications one has to be able to introduce roomtemperature spin-polarized materials that a...
