Nanoscale phase separation (NPS), characterized by particular types of correlated disorders, plays an important role in the functionality of high-temperature superconductors (HTS). Our results show that multiscale heterogeneity is an essential ingredient of quantum functionality in complex materials. Here, the interactions developing between different structural units cause dynamical spatiotemporal conformations with correlated disorder; thus, visualizing conformational landscapes is fundamental for understanding the physical properties of complex matter and requires advanced methodologies based on high-precision X-ray measurements. We discuss the connections between the dynamical correlated disorder at nanoscale and the functionality in oxygen-doped perovskite superconducting materials.

AbstractThe results of photoelectric properties and electroluminescent studies of structures ZnO/porous Si/p-type c-Si/Al and ZnO/porous Si/p-n c-Si junction/Al are presented. Porous Si is prepared by stain etching of c-Si covered with thin Al film. The transparent ZnO film allows light emission through the top surface of the device under forward electrical bias. Photocurrent is observed under reverse bias and a photovoltaic effect is measured on the p-n junction PS device. The model based on injection of minority carriers through a narrow energy barrier into the porous Si and the presence of the barrier at the interface porous Si/c-Si is suggested for describing the electrical, photoelectric and luminescent properties of the structures.

ABSTRACTWe report the first observation of the lateral photovoltaic effect in porous silicon. Contacts placed on either side of a porous silicon region develop a voltage up to several millivolts if the sample is asymmetrically illuminated. If the light spot is closer to one contact, the voltage will have one polarity; if it is closer to the other contact, the polarity will be opposite. In the case of n-type, the contact nearest the light spot is positive; for p-type, the contact nearest the light spot is negative In the region between the contacts, the photovoltage varies almost linearly with the position of the light spot, over a distance 4.5 cm across. The origin of our lateral photoeffect may be explained by the trapping of photoexcited carriers by a pair of dangling bond centers in porous silicon. In the case of p-type, the photogenerated electrons are trapped by the dangling bond states while holes diffuse away in the substrate. The situation for n-type is opposite; holes are trapped by the dangling bond states while electrons diffuse away in the substrate. This differs from the conventional lateral photoeffect, which arises under the nonuniform illumination of a junction between two layers of differing conductivities. Hamamatsu sells silicon-based position-sensitive detectors with a resolution down to 0.1 µm. The possibility of using this lateral photoeffect to characterize these dangling bond states in porous silicon as well as several possible device applications will be discussed.
