ABSTRACTIn this paper we analyze processes which may improve the efficiency of low- and high- field electroluminescence devices based on rare earth doped II-VI and III-V semiconductors. The main topicsare the processes which follow impact ionization, i.e., carrier trapping and/or exciton binding. Excitonic excitation mechanism is shown to occur also for ions which are not directly ionized, as observed recently for some rare earth impurities in II-VI and III-V semiconductors.

ABSTRACTThe interest in rare earth (RE) elements as luminescent centers is due to the narrowness and stability of the luminescent transitions. In this paper we review the mechanisms that can be used to electrically excite rare earth impurities in semiconductors: pair recombination energy exchange and impact excitation. The different means of providing energetic electrons for impact excitation are also discussed. We also propose a possible explanation for the temperature dependence of photoluminescence in silicon.

Recently there has been much excitement over a new class of high Tc (>30 K) ceramic superconductors of the form A1-xBxCuO4-x, where A is a rare earth and B is from Group II. Unfortunately these materials have only been able to support small transport current densities 1-10 A/cm2. It is very desirable to increase these values by 2 to 3 orders of magnitude for useful high field applications. The reason for these small transport currents is as yet unknown. Evidence has, however, been presented for superconducting clusters on a 50-100 nm scale and on a 1-3 μm scale. We therefore planned a detailed TEM and STEM microanalysis study in order to see whether any evidence for the clusters could be seen.A La1.8Sr0.2Cu04 pellet was cut into 1 mm thick slices from which 3 mm discs were cut. The discs were subsequently mechanically ground to 100 μm total thickness and dimpled to 20 μm thickness at the center.
