Localized vibrational modes of carbon-hydrogen complexes in GaN
نویسندگان
چکیده
Localized vibrational modes of carbon-hydrogen complexes in metalorganic chemical vapor deposition grown GaN on sapphire were studied using a Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy technique. Three distinctive localized vibrational modes were observed around 2850, 2922, and 2959 cm for undoped, Si-, and Mg-doped samples. These peaks are related to CH, CH2, and CH3 defect complexes, respectively. However, the localized vibrational modes were not observed in some undoped samples, which is indicative of high quality grown epitaxial layers. It is also observed that the frequencies and intensities of the localized vibrational modes are sample dependent. © 1999 American Institute of Physics. @S0003-6951~99!00831-1#

Hydrogen Local Vibrational Modes in Compound Semiconductors
Local vibrational mode (LVM) spectroscopy of hydrogen and deuterium in GaP, AlSb, ZnSe, and GaN has provided important information about the structures of dopanthydrogen complexes and their interaction with the host lattice. In GaN:Mg, for example, hydrogen binds to a host nitrogen which is adjacent to the magnesium acceptor. In GaP and ZnSe, it has been demonstrated that the temperature depend...
متن کاملLocal vibrational modes of the Mg–H acceptor complex in GaN
Local vibrational modes ~LVMs! are reported for Mg-doped GaN grown by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition. Hetero-epitaxial layers of GaN:Mg, either as-grown, thermally activated, or deuterated, were investigated with low-temperature, Fourier-transform infrared absorption spectroscopy. The as-grown material, which was semi-insulating, exhibits a LVM at 3125 cm. Thermal annealing increases th...
متن کاملStability, diffusion, and complex formation of beryllium in wurtzite GaN
We have studied the properties of Be dopants in GaN using first principles calculations. Substitutional Be on a Ga site acts as an acceptor, but interstitial Be poses a potential problem because of its low formation energy and donor character. We study the diffusion of interstitial Be and find it to be highly anisotropic. We also study the formation of complexes between substitutional and inter...
متن کاملIdentification of hydrogen configurations in p-type GaN through first-principles calculations of vibrational frequencies
We present first-principles calculations for stable and metastable geometries of various hydrogen-related configurations in p-type GaN, including isolated interstitial H as well as Mg-H and Be-H complexes. We also calculate the associated vibrational stretching and wagging modes, systematically including anharmonic contributions to the vibrational frequencies; the anharmonicity is large due to ...
