Far-infrared photothermal ionization spectroscopy has been used to investigate the impurities in selectively boron-doped GexSi(1–x)–Si strained-layer heterostructures. The spectra are obtained under various experimental conditions: with and without band-edge light and by varying the temperature of, and voltage applied to, the sample. The transport properties, resistivity, sheet charge density, and Hall hole mobility of these samples are presented. It is found that a sample with a two-dimensional hole gas (2-DHG) behavior at the GexSi(1–x)–Si interface has a weak photoresponse. This is due to a small number of photo-generated carriers in comparison with the residual hole carriers. For samples that do not show 2-DHG behavior, the photo-response from the substrate plays the dominant role for low applied voltages. At higher voltages, the response from the epitaxial layers becomes evident. The majority impurity is identified as the intentional dopant boron, and the dominant minority impurity is found to be phosphorus. It is concluded that although the free carriers are generated in the heavily B-doped layer, those carriers conducted through the low-energy high-mobility GexSi(1–x)–Si interface dominate the photoresponse.

AbstractExtremely narrow far-infrared lines [1] of OH-donors in ultrapure germanium are used to probe the fundamental dynamic processes of impurities. We examine the 1s-2p transition as a function of laser intensity, using photothermal ionization spectroscopy (PTIS) modified by Zeeman tuning with frequency-fixed lasers. We observe a change of the resonance line shape in the intensity region near 10-4 W/cm2. This effect can be quantitatively understood in a rate equation model which shows that at the critical intensity the ground state becomes depleted and the dependence of the recombination on the degree of ionization becomes important. Therefore the critical intensity depends also on compensation.

The MnFe2O4/BGA (boron-doped graphene aerogel) composite was prepared by hydrothermal treatment of MnFe2O4 particles, boric acid, and graphene oxide. When applied as a photo-Fenton catalyst for the degradation of rhodamine B, the MnFe2O4/BGA composite yielded a degradation efficiency much higher than the sum of those of individual MnFe2O4 and BGA under identical experimental conditions, indicating a strong synergetic effect established between MnFe2O4 and BGA. The catalytic degradation of rhodamine B was proved to follow pseudo first-order kinetics, and the apparent reaction rate constant on the MnFe2O4/BGA composite was calculated to be three- and seven-fold that on BGA and MnFe2O4, respectively. Moreover, the MnFe2O4/BGA composite also demonstrated good reusability and could be reused for four cycles without obvious loss of photocatalytic activity.

An accurate determination of the “time-of-flight” in swarm experiments with a parallel plate drift chamber requires that the time evolution of the charge induced on the collector is linear. This is obtained in very large chambers where the edge effects can be neglected. However, the experimental conditions of high-mobility carriers and highly pressurized gases impose some constraints on the acceptable drift cell dimensions. We have numerically calculated the effects of the finite size of the collector by exploiting the methods of the images. The numerical results have been experimentally checked using a suitable drift cell of variable geometry. As a result, a quantitative limit on the ratio between the collector radius and the drift distance has been established in order to design drift cells for which the edge effects can be neglected.

Alternative channel materials with superior transport properties over conventional silicon based systems are required for supply voltage scaling in CMOS circuits. Group III- Sb 's are a candidate for high mobility p-channel applications due to a low hole effective mass, large injection velocity in scaled devices and the ability to achieve enhanced hole mobility in strained quantum wells (QW). Multiple challenges in antimonide MOSFET development are assessed and developed technologies were implemented into p-channel MOSFET fabrication with a low thermal processing budget of 350°C. These challenges include growth of “bulk” GaSb and bi-axial compressively strained In x Ga 1-x Sb QW channels on lattice mismatched GaAs substrates, reduction of interface trap state density (Dit) at the III- Sb /high-k oxide interface and avoiding ion implanted source and drain contacts with high temperature activation annealing. A “self-aligned” single mask p-channel MOSFET fabrication process was developed on buried In 0.36 Ga 0.64 Sb QW channels using intermetallic source and drain contacts. The first “gate-last” MOSFET process on In 0.36 Ga 0.64 Sb QW channels with pre-grown epitaxial p++- GaSb contacts is demonstrated. InAs has been proven to be an excellent etch stop layer when using an optimized tetramethylammonium hydroxide (TMAH) etch of p++- GaSb to prevent InGaSb QW damage.

Orbital angular momentum is a prerequisite for magnetic anisotropy, although in transition metal complexes it is typically quenched by the ligand field. By reducing the basicity of the carbon donor atoms in a pair of alkyl ligands, we synthesized a cobalt(II) dialkyl complex, Co(C(SiMe2ONaph)3)2 (where Me is methyl and Naph is a naphthyl group), wherein the ligand field is sufficiently weak that interelectron repulsion and spin-orbit coupling play a dominant role in determining the electronic ground state. Assignment of a non-Aufbau (dx2–y2, dxy)3(dxz, dyz)3(dz2)1 electron configuration is supported by dc magnetic susceptibility data, experimental charge density maps, and ab initio calculations. Variable-field far-infrared spectroscopy and ac magnetic susceptibility measurements further reveal slow magnetic relaxation via a 450–wave number magnetic excited state.
