We report on the growth of 4H-SiC epitaxial layer on Si-face polished nominally on-axis 2” full wafer, using Hot-Wall CVD epitaxy. The polytype stability has been maintained over the larger part of the wafer, but 3C inclusions have not been possible to avoid. Special attention has given to the mechanism of generation and propagation of 3C polytype in 4H-SiC epilayer. Different optical and struc...

For the first time, highly c-axis oriented heteroepitaxial AlN thin films have been successfully grown on epitaxial 3C-SiC films on Si (100) substrates. The AlN films deposited by the AC reactive magnetron sputtering at temperatures of approximately 300-450 °C were characterized using the scanning electron microscope (SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and transmissio...

This communication presents a comparative study on the charge transport (in transient and steady state) in bulk n-type doped SiC-polytypes: 3C-SiC, 4H-SiC 6H-SiC. The time evolution of basic macrovariables: “electron drift velocity” “non-equilibrium temperature” are obtained theoretically by using Non-Equilibrium Quantum Kinetic Theory, derived from method Nonequilibrium Statistical Operator (N...

Diluted magnetic semiconductors possessing intrinsic static magnetism at high temperatures represent a promising class of multifunctional materials with high application potential in spintronics and magneto-optics. In the hexagonal Fe-doped diluted magnetic oxide, 6H-BaTiO3-δ, room-temperature ferromagnetism has been previously reported. Ferromagnetism is broadly accepted as an intrinsic proper...

3C fiber technology advances the performance frontier of practical, high-pulse-energy fiber lasers by providing very large core fibers with the handling and packaging benefits associated with single mode fibers. First-generation fibers demonstrate scaling to > 240 W average power coincident with 100-kW peak power in 1-mJ, 10-ns pulses while maintaining single-mode beam quality, polarized output...

We present the results of K-band imaging polarimetry of seven 3CR radio galaxies with 0.7 < z < 1.2. We find strong evidence for polarization in three sources: 3C 22, 3C 41 and 3C 114. Of these, 3C 41 shows strong evidence of having a quasar core whose infrared light is scattered by dust. We also find some evidence for polarization in 3C 54 and in 3C 356. The two pointlike sources (3C 22 and 3C...
