ABSTRACTThe novel infrared imaging technique for assessment of undoped semi-insulating (SI) GaAs substrates known as Reverse Contrast is known to result from absorption from point defects whose concentrations approximately anti-correlate with those of EL2, deep donor defects. The absorption that occurs within - 65 meV of Eg in cooled samples is sufficiently strong that commercial wafers can be mapped with simple infrared CCTV imaging equipment. RC defects are thought to be very deep acceptors with an ionization energy close to the Conduction Band. Concentrations of RC defects are not measurable in SI GaAs as they are un-ionized in the dark. Like EL2 defects they can be photo-quenched by irradiation with mid-gap light.In this paper, we present novel Hall Effect measurements on very lightly Te-doped n-type GaAs where at least a fraction of RC defects are ionized. A permanent increase in the carrier concentration is observed after photo-quenching corresponding to the bleaching of RC defects. The carrier concentration returns to its initial value at the same temperature at which the absorption of RC defects is recovered. This result allows a calibration for the absorption coefficient to be found.

AbstractHigh-energy (400 keV) implantation of carbon (C) ions was made into LEC-GaAs substrates with C concentration ([C]) of 1019− 1022Cm−3. 2 K photoluminescence (PL) and Hall effect measurements indicated that activation rate of C in LEC GaAs is both optically and electrically extremely low even after furnace-annealing at 850 °C for 20 min. For [C] = 1×1022 cm−3, two novel strong emissions were obtained and PL measurements as a function of excitation power and sample temperature suggested that the two emissions one at 1.485 eV and the other at 1.305 eV should reflect the formation of a new alloy between GaAs and C. Dual implantation of C+ and Ga+ ions was carried out to improve the activation or substitution rate. We found that nearly 90% activation rate can be achieved for C dose of 2.2 × 1013 cm−2.

AbstractWe have grown a number of InAs and GaSb bulk layers on GaAs substrates and studied the properties of the semiconductor films as a function of the various growth parameters. Preliminary results from GaSb growth are presented in addition to an extensive study of InAs growth. The films were characterized during growth by RHEED. RHEED-oscillations were observed during both InAs and GaSb growths. Hall effect measurements yielded peak electron mobilities for InAs of 18,900 cm2/Vs at 300 K and 35,000 cm2/Vs at 77 K. For GaSb the as grown layers were found to be p-type with a carrier concentration of 9x1015cm-3 and a hole mobility of 910 cm2 /Vs at 300 K.

In this study, the ZnTe thin films were deposited on a glass substrate at a thickness of 400nm using vacuum evaporation technique (2×10-5mbar) at RT. Electrical conductivity and Hall effect measurements have been investigated as a function of variation of the doping ratios (3,5,7%) of the Cu element on the thin ZnTe films. The temperature range of (25-200°C) is to record the electrical conductivity values. The results of the films have two types of transport mechanisms of free carriers with two values of activation energy (Ea1, Ea2), expect 3% Cu. The activation energy (Ea1) increased from 29meV to 157meV before and after doping (Cu at 5%) respectively. The results of Hall effect measurements of ZnTe , ZnTe:Cu films show that all films were (p-type), the carrier concentration (1.1×1020 m-3) , Hall mobility (0.464m2/V.s) for pure ZnTe film, increases the carrier concentration (6.3×1021m-3) Hall mobility (2m2/V.s) for doping (Cu at 3%) film, but  decreases by increasing Cu concentration.

ABSTRACTThe effects of high temperature isothermal annealing on the electrical properties of donor and acceptor defects in n-type LEC GaAs are investigated. The annealing experiments are performed under As-rich atmosphere at 1000°C for 1–4 and 16 hours followed by a very quick quenching into cold water of the quartz ampoules containing the samples. The donor and acceptor levels are detected respectively by standard (DLTS) and optical (ODLTS) deep level spectroscopy. DLTS results show the presence of one single donor level present in unannealed and annealed samples at Ec - 0.79eV which is identified as the well known electron trap EL2 Only the sample annealed for 16 hs exhibits the presence of a new electron trap named TAI at Ec - 0.32eV. The appearance of TAI is correlated in one hand with the evolution of EL2 concentration and in the other hand to the effect of long duration (16 hs) of the treatment. For acceptor levels, two hole traps HT1 and HT2 are detected respectively at EV + 0.18 eV and EV+ 0.28 eV. HT1 is detected only in samples annealed for 4 and 16 hs and HT2 is detected in all studied samples. Photoluminescence (PL) measurements show the presence of the 1.44 eV band corresponding to gallium antisite GaAs defect. This band observed in unannealed and annealed samples shows that GaAs remains stable even after thermal annealing at lOOO°C for 16 hs and it is correlated with the presence of HT2.

Intracenter Transitions

The optical properties of magnesium impurity in silicon, whose atoms at interstitial positions in the lattice are deep double donors with an ionization energy of 107.56 meV in the neutral state, were studied. For optical transitions from the ground state of a neutral center to the excited levels 2p0 and 2p, the absorption cross sections and oscillator strengths were determined. These parameters were calculated from the impurity absorption spectra that were measured at T  K in samples with different magnesium concentrations. The deep donor content in the samples was determined using Hall effect measurements in the temperature range 78–300 K. The obtained characteristics of intracenter transitions in magnesium were compared with the corresponding literature data for shallow Group V donors in silicon, which are substitutional impurities. It was found that the optical characteristics of the investigated transitions in magnesium are consistent with the dependences of the corresponding parameters on the ionization energy for shallow donors, extrapolated to the region of larger electron binding energies.

ABSTRACTWe have performed Shubnikov-de Haas (SdH) measurements on the AlxGa1-xSb/InAs QW's with x from 0.1 to 1.0 under the negative persistent photoconductivity (NPPC) conditions and confirmed the prediction of Ionized Deep Donor model that the NPPC effect is a universal property for the materials containing ionized deep donors at low temperatures. The time-dependent recombination (electron capture) of the ionized deep donors is similar to that of DX centers. The saturated reduction of carrier concentration in the InAs well increases with increasing x, and rises steeply at about x=0.4. The concentration of deep donors which cause the NPPC in the AlxGa1-xSb/InAs QW's increases with the Al composition.

ABSTRACT Influenza virus hemagglutinin (HA) is a determinant of virus infectivity. Therefore, it is important to determine whether HA of a new influenza virus, which can potentially cause pandemics, is functional against human cells. The novel imaging technique reported here allows rapid analysis of HA function by visualizing viral fusion inside cells. This imaging was designed to detect fusion changing the spectrum of the fluorescence-labeled virus. Using this imaging, we detected the fusion between a virus and a very small endosome that could not be detected previously, indicating that the imaging allows highly sensitive detection of viral fusion.

Electrical properties such as electrical resistivity, Hall coefficient, Hall mobility, carrier concentration of p-type GaAs samples were studied at room temperature (300 K). Resistivity was  found to be of the order of 5.6 × 10-3?-cm. The Hall coefficient (RH) was calculated to be 7.69 × 10-1cm3/C and Hall mobility (?H) was found to be 131cm2/V-s at room temperature from Hall effect   measurements. Carrier concentration was estimated to be 8.12 × 1018/cm3 and the Fermi level was calculated directly from carrier density data which was 0.33 eV. Photoconductivity measurements  were carried on by varying sample current, light intensity and temperature at constant chopping     frequency 45.60 Hz in all the cases mentioned above. It was observed that within the range of sample current 0.1 - 0.25mA photoconductivity remains almost constant at room temperature 300K and it was found to be varying non-linearly with light intensity within the range 37 - 12780 lux. Photoconductivity was observed to be increasing linearly with temperature between 308 and 428 K. Absorption coefficient (?) of the samples has been studied with variation of wavelength (300 -  2500 nm). The value of optical band gap energy was calculated between 1.34 and 1.41eV for the material from the graph of (?h?)2 plotted against photon energy. The value of lattice parameter (a) was found to be 5.651 by implying X-ray diffraction method (XRD).DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/jbas.v36i1.10926Journal of Bangladesh Academy of Sciences, Vol. 36, No. 1, 97-107, 2012
