AbstractAC and DC Hall effects measurements as a function of temperature (77-300K) and frequency ( 1Hz-100KHz) have been performed to characterize Implanted Silicon films. This technique enables the determination of the annihilation processes of defects In such layers as a function of temperature of isochronal anneallngs (300°C to 1100°C during 1 hour). The experimental results are discussed with respect to proper transport models based on short and long range disorder considerations in order to find out the features of defects and Inhomogeneities arising from implantation and their thermal annihilation after isochronal annealing.

ABSTRACTLow energy (100 eV) impinging of carbon (C+) ions was made during molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) of GaAs using combined ion beam and molecular beam epitaxy (CIBMBE) technologies for the growth temperature ( Tg ) between 500 °C and 590 °C. 2 K photoluminescence (PL), Raman scattering and Hall effect measurements were made for the samples. In the PL spectra two specific emissions, “g” and [g-g], were observed which are closely associated with acceptor impurities. PL and Hall effect measurements indicate that C atoms were very efficiently introduced during MBE growth by CIBMBE and were both optically and electrically well activated as acceptors even at Tg=500 °C. The results reveal that defect-free impurity doping without subsequent annealing can be achieved by CIBMBE method.

A comprehensive review of the main existing devices, based on the classic and new related Hall Effects is hereby presented. The review is divided into sub-categories presenting existing macro-, micro-, nanoscales, and quantum-based components and circuitry applications. Since Hall Effect-based devices use current and magnetic field as an input and voltage as output. researchers and engineers looked for decades to take advantage and integrate these devices into tiny circuitry, aiming to enable new functions such as high-speed switches, in particular at the nanoscale technology. This review paper presents not only an historical overview of past endeavors, but also the remaining challenges to overcome. As part of these trials, one can mention complex design, fabrication, and characterization of smart nanoscale devices such as sensors and amplifiers, towards the next generations of circuitry and modules in nanotechnology. When compared to previous domain-limited text books, specialized technical manuals and focused scientific reviews, all published several decades ago, this up-to-date review paper presents important advantages and novelties: Large coverage of all domains and applications, clear orientation to the nanoscale dimensions, extended bibliography of almost one hundred fifty recent references, review of selected analytical models, summary tables and phenomena schematics. Moreover, the review includes a lateral examination of the integrated Hall Effect per sub-classification of subjects. Among others, the following sub-reviews are presented: Main existing macro/micro/nanoscale devices, materials and elements used for the fabrication, analytical models, numerical complementary models and tools used for simulations, and technological challenges to overcome in order to implement the effect in nanotechnology. Such an up-to-date review may serve the scientific community as a basis for novel research oriented to new nanoscale devices, modules, and Process Development Kit (PDK) markets.

ABSTRACTCharacterization of Sec-dependent bacterial protein transport has often relied on anin vitroprotein translocation system comprised in part ofEscherichia coliinverted inner membrane vesicles or, more recently, purified SecYEG translocons reconstituted into liposomes using mostly a single substrate (proOmpA). A paper published in this issue (P. Bariya and L. Randall, J Bacteriol 201:e00493-18, 2019, https://doi.org/10.1128/JB.00493-18) finds that inclusion of SecA protein during SecYEG proteoliposome reconstitution dramatically improves the number of active translocons. This experimentally useful and intriguing result that may arise from SecA membrane integration properties is discussed here. Furthermore, determination of the rate-limiting transport step for nine different substrates implicates the mature region distal to the signal peptide in the observed rate constant differences, indicating that more nuanced transport models that respond to differences in protein sequence and structure are needed.

A description is given of the heat treatment, under controlled conditions, of crystals of strontium titanate, both pure and niobium-doped, and of the effect of this treatment on the defect states in this material. Our analysis is based on evaluation of the results of electrical conductivity and Hall effect measurements, and those of optical absorption.

AbstractLow energy electron diffraction is a surface sensitive tool which is most widely used for the determination of surface symmetries and equilibrium atomic positions. Experimental and theoretical advances made in the past five years make it possible now to use LEED also for the characterization of a wide variety of surface defect structures. In this paper a variety of experimental results involving analysis of diffracted electron beam shapes as a function of primary electron beam energy, adsorbate coverage, crystal tem-perature and ordering time are presented. These experimental results coupled with kinematic theory, allow the determination of step density, size and shape of reconstruction domains and overlayer islands, island size distribution in an overlayer during growth, and the mode of growth.

AbstractFundamental properties of silicon films crystallized by a 30-ns-pulsed XeCI excimer laser were discussed. Although crystallization of 50-nm thick silicon films formed on quartz substrates occurred through laser hearing at the crystalline threshold energy density of 160 mJ/cm2, a higher laser energy density at 360 mJ/cm2 was necessary to crystallize silicon films completely. Analyses of free carrier optical absorption revealed that phosphorus-doped silicon films with a carrier density about 2×1020 cm−3 had a high carrier mobility of 20 cm2/Vs for irradiation at the crystallization threshold energy density, while Hall effect measurements gave a carrier mobility of electrical current traversing grain boundaries of 3 cm2/Vs. This suggested that the crystalline grains had good electrical properties. As the laser energy density increased to 360 mJ/cm2 and laser pulse number increased to 5, the carrier mobility obtained by the Hall effect measurements markedly increased to 28 cm2/Vs because of improvement of grain boundary properties, while the carrier mobility obtained by analysis of free carrier absorption increased to 40 cm2/Vs. A post annealing method at 190°C with high-pressure H2O vapor was developed to reduce the density of defect states. Increase of carrier mobility to 500 cm2/Vs was demonstrated in the polycrystalline silicon thin film transistors fabricated in laser crystallized silicon films.
