ABSTRACTOptical non-linearity of cobalt oxide with SiO2-TiO2 additives was investigated, and the change mechanism of the refractive index (n) and extinction coefficient (k), based on the relation between band structure and optical non-linearity of the thin films, was discussed. Refractive index and extinction coefficient of Co3O4 thin films in the ground state were 3.17 and 0.42, respectively. Both n and k decreased by irradiation from a pulse laser with 650 nm of wavelength (1.91eV). These values in the excited state were 2.91 and 0.41, respectively. n2 estimated from the change of n and k was −2.8 ×10−11 m2/W. The film had a band gap corresponding to 2.06eV, indicating that it was widened by the band filling effect during the laser irradiation at 1.91eV, and this led to the decrease in absorption coefficient and refractive index.

ABSTRACTGa-doped Mg0.15Zn0.85O thin films have been grown on fused silica substrates at 350°C with four different gallium concentration values using pulsed laser deposition. X-ray diffraction results indicate that these films were textured with c-plane parallel to the substrate surface. The bandgap of the films were determined based on the absorption measurements. The bandgaps of the Ga-doped thin films shifted to higher energy with respect to that of the unalloyed Mg0.15Zn0.85O thin film due to the band filling effect of electron distribution in the conduction band. Resistivity of the films was measured with four-point probe at temperatures from 295 K to 15 K. The activation energy of the gallium dopants was extracted by fitting the temperature dependent curve of resistivity.

One measure of the maturity of a device technology is the ease and reliability of applying contact metallurgy. Compared to metal contact of silicon, the status of GaAs metallization is still at its primitive stage. With the advent of GaAs MESFET and integrated circuits, very stringent requirements were placed on their metal contacts. During the past few years, extensive researches have been conducted in the area of Au-Ge-Ni in order to lower contact resistances and improve uniformity. In this paper, we report the results of TEM study of interfacial reactions between Ni and GaAs as part of the attempt to understand the role of nickel in Au-Ge-Ni contact of GaAs.N-type, Si-doped, (001) oriented GaAs wafers, 15 mil in thickness, were grown by gradient-freeze method. Nickel thin films, 300Å in thickness, were e-gun deposited on GaAs wafers. The samples were then annealed in dry N2 in a 3-zone diffusion furnace at temperatures 200°C - 600°C for 5-180 minutes. Thin foils for TEM examinations were prepared by chemical polishing from the GaA.s side. TEM investigations were performed with JE0L- 100B and JE0L-200CX electron microscopes.

Use of the electron microscope to examine wet objects is possible due to the small mass thickness of the equilibrium pressure of water vapor at room temperature. Previous attempts to examine hydrated biological objects and water itself used a chamber consisting of two small apertures sealed by two thin films. Extensive work in our laboratory showed that such films have an 80% failure rate when wet. Using the principle of differential pumping of the microscope column, we can use open apertures in place of thin film windows.Fig. 1 shows the modified Siemens la specimen chamber with the connections to the water supply and the auxiliary pumping station. A mechanical pump is connected to the vapor supply via a 100μ aperture to maintain steady-state conditions.
