Increasing Function

ABSTRACTCrystallization of amorphous Ge (or Si) has been studied as a function of temperature and the flux of ionizing radiation (or doping). The crystallization growth rate Vg takes on the form Vg = vo exp(−E/kT) where vo is an increasing function of flux (or doping). We propose the following to explain these data: A concentration of mobile dangling bonds (DBs) exists in the bulk and near the amorphous-crystalline (a-c) interface. Ionization and doping induce transitions from the uncharged state Do to the charged states D+ and D−. The process controlling crystallization resulting in the above activation energy is discussed. Only certain sites on the a-side of the a-c interface are available for crystallization, and these sites are those which have captured DBs. The charged D+; and D− states have a larger capture cross section than the uncharged Do state. Increased concentrations of charged DBs results in an enhancement of the prefactor in the above equation.

Anomalous Peak

ABSTRACTDLTS data taken on MBE grown AlGaAs films show peak heights which increase, maximize, and then decrease with increasing sample temperature. This behavior is difficult to explain within the context of conventional DLTS analysis. We suggest that the data can be accounted for by a trap with a temperature dependent capture cross section in conjunction with a model described by Lee and Borrego in which electron and hole emission rates are comparable. Using this analysis, we obtain an effective trap depth Eeff of 0.35 eV and a capture cross section activation energy Eσ 0.25 eV.

Abstract In this work the properties of the BP/Si heterojunction interface were investigated by capacitance methods, the deep levels transient spectroscopy method and admittance spectroscopy. Admittance spectroscopy did not detect any defects, but the deep level transient spectroscopy showed response with activation energy of 0.33 eV and capture cross-section σn=(1-10)·10-19 cm2 and defect concentration (NT) is in the order of 1013 cm-3. This defect level is a trap for electron with position of 0.33 eV below the conduction band in region near the BP/Si interface.

The thermal neutron capture cross sections of Na23 and Mn55 have been determined using the activation method. The values are 0.53 ± 0.03 and 12.7 ± 0.3 barns respectively with respect to σAul97 = 93 barns. These agree well with recent pile oscillator results. The half-life for Mn56 is found to be 2.576 ± 0.002 hr.
