OPTICAL-DETECTION OF MAGNETIC-RESONANCE OF THE ZINC VACANCY IN ZNSE VIA MAGNETIC CIRCULAR-DICHROISM
No full textWe report a study of the isolated zinc vacancy (V(Zn)) in ZnSe using optical detection of magnetic resonance (ODMR) via magnetic circular dichroism (MCD) in absorption. Three MCD bands associated with V(Zn)- are observed at 1.0, 1.4, and 2.65 eV. The 1.4- and 2.65-eV bands have previously been observed by stress-induced linear dichroism studies. Detection of the band at 1.0 eV provides important confirmation of a previously proposed molecular orbital model for the defect. The MCD-ODMR signals are absorption-like and disappear for the applied magnetic field along the defect axis. This unusual behavior is explained by calculating the dipole transition probabilities of the MCD transitions using this model, but expanded to include spin-orbit interaction
SHIFTING PHOTOLUMINESCENCE BANDS IN HIGH-RESISTIVITY LI-COMPENSATED GAAS
No full textIt is shown that Li diffusion of GaAs can give rise to semi-insulating samples with electrical resistivity as high as 10(7) OMEGAcm in undoped, n-type, and p-type starting materials. The optical properties of the compensated samples are correlated with the depletion of free carriers caused by the Li diffusion. The radiative recombination of the Li-compensated samples is dominated by emissions with excitation-dependent peak positions that shift to lower energies with increasing compensation. The photoluminescence properties are characteristic of fluctuations of the electrostatic potential in strongly doped, compensated crystals
RADIATIVE RECOMBINATION IN N-TYPE AND P-TYPE GAAS COMPENSATED WITH LI
No full textWe report fundamental changes of the radiative recombination in a wide range of n-type and p-type GaAs after diffusion with the group-I element Li. These optical properties are found to be a bulk property and closely related to the electrical conductivity of the samples. In the Li-doped samples the radiative recombination is characterized by emissions with excitation-dependent peak positions which shift to lower energies with increasing degree of compensation and concentration of Li. These properties are shown to be in qualitative agreement with fluctuations of the electrostatic potential in strongly compensated systems. For Li-diffusion temperatures above 700-800-degrees-C semi-insulating conditions with electrical resistivity exceeding 10(7) OMEGA cm are obtained for all conducting starting materials. In this heavy Li-doping regime, the simple model of fluctuating potentials is shown to be inadequate for explaining the. experimental observations unless the number of charged impurities is reduced through complexing with Li. For samples doped with low concentrations of Li, on the other hand, the photoluminescence properties are found to be characteristic of impurity-related emissions
LITHIUM PASSIVATION OF ZN AND CD ACCEPTORS IN P-TYPE GAAS
No full textWe report lithium passivation of the shallow acceptors Zn and Cd in p-type GaAs which we attribute to the formation of neutral Li-Zn and Li-Cd complexes. Similar to hydrogen, another group-I element, lithium strongly reduces the concentration of free holes when introduced into p-type GaAs. The passivation is inferred from an increase of both the hole mobility and the resisitivity throughout the bulk of the sample. It is observed most clearly for Li concentrations comparable to the shallow-acceptor concentration. In addition, compensation of shallow acceptors by randomly distributed donors is present in varying degree in the Li-diffused samples. Unlike hydrogenation of n-type GaAs, Li doping shows no evidence of neutralizing shallow donors in GaAs
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
