Effects of GaAs buffer layer and lattice-matching on deep levels in Zn(S)Se/GaAs heterostructures

The effects of GaAs buffer layer and lattice-matching on the nature of deep levels involved in Zn(S)Se/GaAs heterostructures are investigated by means of deeplevel transient spectroscopy (DLTS). The heterojunction diodes (HDs) where nZn(S)Se is grown on p⁺-GaAs by metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy are used as a test structure. The DLTS measurement reveals that when ZnSe is directly grown on a GaAs substrate, there exist five electron traps A-E at activation energies of 0.20, 0.23, 0.25, 0.37, and 0.53 eV, respectively. Either GaAs buffer layer and lattice-matching may reduce the incorporation of traps C, D, and E, implying that these traps are ascribed to surface treatment of GaAs substrate and to lattice relaxation. Concentration of trap B, which is the most dominant level, is proportional to the donor concentration. However, in the ZnSSe/GaAs sub. HD, another trap level, instead of trap B, locates at the almost same position as that of trap B, and it shows anomalous behavior that the DLTS peak amplitude changes drastically as changing the rate windows. This is explained by the defect generation through the interaction between sulfide and a GaAs substrate surface. For the trap A, the concentration is a function of donor concentration and lattice mismatch, and the origin is attributed to a complex of donor induced defects and dislocations.     

Properties of highly conducting nitrogen-plasma-doped ZnSe:N thin films

Values for the acceptor ionization energy, E_a, and compensating donor ionization energy, E_d, have been obtained from an analysis of variable-temperature photoluminescence data taken for a series of highly conducting nitrogen-plasma doped ZnSe thin films. E_awas found to be highly temperature dependent, with values ranging from E_a ~110 meV at low temperatures to ~60 meV at room temperature. The compensating donor ionization energy ranged from E_d ~31 meV at low temperatures to ~24 meVat room temperature. These results provide clear evidence of thenonhydrogenic nature of the nitrogen acceptor state in heavily doped ZnSe:N thin films and suggest that interstitial bonding of N, at two or more stable sites, may play a central role in the p-type doping and compensation of this material at high doping levels.     

ZnO/ZnSe核/壳纳米线结构的制备

ZnO和ZnSe都是重要的宽带隙Ⅱ-Ⅵ族半导体材料.一维ZnO和ZnSe纳米材料是目前半导体一维纳米材料研究领域的热点,又由于二者之间的能带差,如果构成异质结构将会使材料的电子传输特性发生改变,因而可以应用于光电等领域.本文用气相传输法制备了ZnO纳米线,然后用异丙基硒对样品进行处理,并对样品进行了SEM、TEM和HFTEM的表征,结果表明我们已经成功制备出了ZnO/ZnSe核/壳纳米线异质结构.     

Green chemical approaches to ZnSe quantum dots: preparation,characterisation and formation mechanism

ZnSe quantum dots (QDs) and flower-shaped nanocrystals (NCs) were successfully synthesised via a cheap, green and nontoxic route, using environmentally friendly N, N-dimethyl-oleoyl amide as the solvent of Se. The experimental results show that the as-prepared ZnSe QDs with a zinc-blende structure have a narrow size distribution and without resorting to any as-synthetic size-selective procedure. A systematic study of the ZnSe QDs formation process indicates the following properties: variation of some reaction parameters allows us to tune the particle sizes and plays a greater role in the determination of the monodisperse characterisation, for example, these parameters include the amount of ligand and precursors, the injection temperature of Se solution. These size tunabilities interpreted well by the growth kinetics. Another interesting result is that the ZnSe QDs aggregate to flower-shaped NCs, and the flower-shaped NCs also have size-dependence quantum effects as the prepared disperse ZnSe QDs.
