Transport of modulation-doped Al0.2Ga0.8Sb/GaSb heterojunctions

چکیده
Mobilities and carrier densities of modulation doped Al0.2Ga0.8Sb/GaSb heterostructures are presented for the first time. The structures studied were grown by molecular beam epitaxy and consisted of a single heterojunction with Te compensation doping to reduce the intrinsic p-type background. Hall measurements were performed from 30–300 K, giving ptype mobilities peaking at 3240 cm/Vs, a considerable improvement over previous reported bulk mobilities for samples with compensation doping. Growth trials on bulk material have also been carried out to investigate the optimum growth conditions for future structures, with the aim of minimising the occurrence of natural growth defects in GaSb, which act as acceptors. Together these measurements lay the ground work for (magneto)transport studies of two-dimensional charge-carriers in AlxGa1-xSb/GaSb heterostructures, which has not been previously reported.

Hole Transport Characteristics in Pure and Doped GaSb
The steady state hole transport properties of GaSb were investigated by the Ensemble Monte Carlo method (EMC). In our model we taken in to account heavy and light hole valence bands, and the following scattering mechanisms: inelastic acoustic phonon; polar optical phonon; nonpolar optical; ionized impurity. The theoretical calculations are compared with available experimental results for the Ga...

We present a systematic analysis of electron transport characteristics for one-dimensional heterojunctions with two multi-nitrogen-doped (multi-N-doped) capped carbon nanotubes (CNTs) facing one another at different numbers of nitrogen atoms and conformations. Our results show that the modification of the molecular orbitals by the nitrogen dopants generates conducting channels in the designed h...

متن کاملNature of compensating luminescence centers in Te-diffused and -doped GaSb
Diffusion of tellurium in undoped p-GaSb has been carried out. Using the cathodoluminescence and photoluminescence techniques, the luminescence centers in Te-diffused samples have been identified and compared with the Te-doped bulk GaSb. Fundamental differences in the radiative levels are observed between the diffused and the as-grown doped samples. Evidence for self-compensating acceptor compl...
متن کاملRaman spectroscopy of n-type and p-type GaSb with multiple excitation wavelengths.
The interpretation of Raman spectra of GaSb can be complicated by the presence of a so-called surface space-charge region (SSCR), resulting in an inhomogeneous near-surface Raman scattering environment. To fully interpret Raman spectra, it is important to have an understanding of the SSCR profile relative to the Raman probe depth. However, a priori determination of even the actual SSCR width is...
