第一性原理的广义梯度近似+U方法的纤锌矿Zn1-xMgxO极化特性与Zn0.75Mg0.25O/ZnO 界面能带偏差研究

在纤锌矿结构Zn_1-xMg_xO/ZnO异质结构中发现了高迁移率的二维电子气(2DEG), 2DEG 的产生很可能是由于界面上存在不连续极化, 而且2DEG通常也被认为是由极化电荷产生的结果. 为了探索2DEG的形成机理及其产生的根源, 研究Zn_1-xMg_xO合金的极化特性与ZnO/Zn_1-xMg_xO超晶格的能带排列是非常必要的. 基于第一性原理广义梯度近似+U方法研究了Zn_1-xMg_xO合金的自发极化随Mg组分x的变化关系, 其中极化特性的计算采用Berry-phase方法. 由于ZnO与Zn_1-xMg_xO 面内晶格参数大小相当, ZnO 与Zn_1-xMg_xO 的界面匹配度优良, 所以ZnO/Zn_1-xMg_xO 超晶格模型较容易建立. 计算了Mg_0.25Zn_0.75O/ZnO超晶格静电势的面内平均及其沿着Z(0001)方向上的宏观平均. (5+3)Mg_0.25Zn_0.75O/ZnO超晶格拥有较大的尺寸, 确保远离界面的Mg_0.25Zn_0.75O与ZnO区域与块体计算情况一致. 除此之外, 基于宏观平均为能量参考, 计算得到Mg_0.25Zn_0.75O/ZnO超晶格界面处价带偏差为0.26 eV, 并且导带偏差与价带偏差的比值处于合理区间, 这与近来实验上报道的结果相符. 除了ZnO在[0001]方向上产生自发极化外, 由于在ZnO中引入Mg杂质会产生应变应力, 导致Mg_xZn_1-xO层产生额外的极化值. 这样必然会在Mg_0.25Zn_0.75O/Zn界面处产生非连续极化现象, 促使单极性电荷在界面处积累, 从而在Mg_0.25Zn_0.75O/Zn超晶格中产生内在电场. 此外, 计算了Mg_0.25Zn_0.75O/ZnO超晶格的能带排列, 由于价带偏差Δ E_V=0.26 eV与导带偏差ΔE_C=0.33 eV, 表明能带遵循I型排列. Mg_0.25Zn_0.75O/ZnO 的这种能带排列方式足以让电子与空穴在势阱中产生禁闭作用. 2DEG在电子学与光电子学领域都有重要应用, 本文的研究结果将对Mg_0.25Zn_0.75O/ZnO 界面2DEG的设计与优化中起到重要作用, 并且可以作为研究其他Mg组分的Mg_xZn_1-xO/ZnO超晶格界面电子气特性的参考依据.

ZnO薄膜的掺杂特性

通过MOCVD方法生长的ZnO薄膜一般为富锌生长,呈n型电导,要想得到高阻或低阻p-ZnO薄膜需要对其进行掺杂施主或受主杂质.主要研究在生长过程中通过NH₃对ZnO薄膜进行氮掺杂的情况,利用优化生长条件,即生长温度为610℃,Ar气(携带DEZn)流量为4sccm,O₂流量为120sccm,N₂流量为600sccm,得到在NH₃流量为80sccm时生长样品的结晶质量最高,在掺杂薄膜中NH₃流量高于或低于80sccm时,样品的表面形貌都将变差,只有在80sccm时表面粗糙度最低晶粒最小,表明该流量下获得的样品表面较光滑致密.所以80sccmNH₃流量为在R面蓝宝石上生长<110>取向ZnO薄膜的最佳掺杂流量.Hall测量结果表明,NH₃流量为50sccm的样品电导呈弱p型,电阻率为102Ω·cm,空穴载流子浓度为+1.69×10¹⁶cm^-3,迁移率为3.6cm²·V^-1·s^-1;当NH₃流量增加时样品的电导呈n型,电阻率最高达10⁸Ω·cm,我们认为与进入ZnO薄膜的H的量有关,并对其变化机理进行了详细的分析.     

Investigation of Zn_(1-x)Cd_xO films bandgap and Zn_(1-x)Cd_xO/ZnO heterojunctions band offset by x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy

A series of Zn_(1-x)Cd_xO thin films have been fabricated on sapphire by pulsed-laser deposition(PLD), successfully. To investigate the effect of Cd concentration on structural and optical properties of Zn_(1-x)Cd_xO films, x-ray diffraction(XRD),ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy(UV-vis), and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS) are employed to characterize the films in detail. The XRD pattern indicates that the Zn_(1-x)Cd_xO thin films have high single-orientation of the c axis. The energy bandgap values of ZnCdO thin films decrease from 3.26 eV to 2.98 eV with the increasing Cd concentration(x)according to the(αhν)~2–hν curve. Furthermore, the band offsets of Zn_(1-x)Cd_xO/ZnO heterojunctions are determinated by XPS, indicating that a type-I alignment takes place at the interface and the value of band offset could be tuned by adjusting the Cd concentration.

矿物药炉甘石煅制前后锌、铅元素的赋存形态及分布特征研究

采用X射线衍射(XRD)技术和电子探针微区分析(EPMA)技术针对中药炉甘石煅制前后锌、铅元素的赋存形态及分布特征进行了研究,探明了煅制对炉甘石中锌、铅元素赋存状态及分布的改变,为后续水飞减除铅元素的机理研究提供了理论依据。测试结果显示：21批次炉甘石(生品)中的锌元素以主矿物水锌矿[Zn₅(CO₃)₂(OH)₆]和杂质矿物异极矿[Zn₄(OH)₂(H₂O)(Si₂O₇)]为主要赋存形态,偶见菱锌矿(ZnCO₃);炉甘石(生品)的背散射电子图谱及元素分布数据显示：Zn和Pb元素同时分布的区域为水锌矿,Zn和Si元素同时分布的区域为异极矿,Ca和Mg元素同时分布的区域为白云石,Ca元素单独分布区域为方解石。在炉甘石(生品)中,Pb主要分布于水锌矿中且分布相对均匀,Pb元素的分布与水锌矿中的Zn元素密切相关。大量水锌矿的微区点位的电子探针定量分析结果显示：各不同点位中的ZnO/PbO含量的比值趋于定值,Pb在水锌矿中呈统计式均匀分布,说明Pb在水锌矿中主要以类质同象混入物的形式存在。但是炉甘石(生品)中的异极矿、方解石及白云石等杂质矿物中铅元素含量极低甚至检测不到。炉甘石煅烧后水锌矿晶格中的Zn和Pb分别生成了ZnO和PbO。Zn元素在炉甘石煅制品中主要以氧化锌(ZnO)形式存在,少部分以杂质矿物硅酸锌(Zn₂SiO₄)形式存在,呈较连续状态分布。Pb元素在炉甘石煅制品中主要以氧化铅(PbO)的形式存在,呈星点状分布,与Zn元素的分布未呈现相关性,说明Pb在炉甘石煅制品中是以独立矿物形式存在的。煅烧破坏了水锌矿的晶格结构,在改变锌、铅化合物形态的同时,更改变了锌、铅的分布特征,打破了炉甘石中锌、铅的共生状态,使水飞减除铅元素成为可能。     

Structural,electrical and optical studies on spray-deposited aluminium-doped ZnO thin films

Thin films of zinc oxide (ZnO) were deposited on cleaned glass substrates by chemical spray pyrolysis technique using Zn(CH₃COO)₂ as precursor solution. Also, aluminium-doped thin films of ZnO were prepared by using AlCl₃ as doping solution for aluminium. The dopant concentration [Al/Zn atomic percentage (at%)] was varied from 0 to 1.5 at% in thin films of ZnO prepared in different depositions. Structural characterization of the deposited films was performed with X-ray diffraction (XRD) studies. It confirmed that all the films were of zinc oxide having polycrystalline nature and possessing typical hexagonal wurtzite structure with crystallite size varying between 100.7 and 268.6 nm. The films exhibited changes in relative intensities and crystallite size with changes in the doping concentration of Al. The electrical studies established that 1 at% of Al-doping was the optimum for enhancing electrical conduction in ZnO thin films and beyond that the distortion caused in the lattice lowered the conductivity. The films also exhibited distinct changes in their optical properties at different doping concentrations, including a blue shift and slight widening of bandgap with increasing Al dopant concentration.

Optoelectronic properties of SnO_2 thin films sprayed at different deposition times

This article presents the elaboration of tin oxide(SnO_2) thin films on glass substrates by using a home-made spray pyrolysis system. Effects of film thickness on the structural, optical, and electrical film properties are investigated. The films are characterized by several techniques such as x-ray diffraction(XRD), atomic force microscopy(AFM), ultravioletvisible(UV–Vis) transmission, and four-probe point measurements, and the results suggest that the prepared films are uniform and well adherent to the substrates. X-ray diffraction(XRD) patterns show that SnO_2 film is of polycrystal with cassiterite tetragonal crystal structure and a preferential orientation along the(110) plane. The calculated grain sizes are in a range from 32.93 nm to 56.88 nm. Optical transmittance spectra of the films show that their high transparency average transmittances are greater than 65% in the visible region. The optical gaps of SnO_2 thin films are found to be in a range of 3.64 e V–3.94 e V. Figures of merit for SnO_2 thin films reveal that their maximum value is about 1.15 × 10-4-1?atλ = 550 nm. Moreover, the measured electrical resistivity at room temperature is on the order of 10-2?·cm.

Probing thermal properties of vanadium dioxide thin films by time-domain thermoreflectance without metal film

Vanadium dioxide(VO_2) is a strongly correlated material, and it has become known due to its sharp metal–insulator transition(MIT) near room temperature. Understanding the thermal properties and their change across MIT of VO_2 thin film is important for the applications of this material in various devices. Here, the changes in thermal conductivity of epitaxial and polycrystalline VO_2 thin film across MIT are probed by the time-domain thermoreflectance(TDTR) method.The measurements are performed in a direct way devoid of deposition of any metal thermoreflectance layer on the VO_2 film to attenuate the impact from extra thermal interfaces. It is demonstrated that the method is feasible for the VO_2 films with thickness values larger than 100 nm and beyond the phase transition region. The observed reasonable thermal conductivity change rates across MIT of VO_2 thin films with different crystal qualities are found to be correlated with the electrical conductivity change rate, which is different from the reported behavior of single crystal VO_2 nanowires. The recovery of the relationship between thermal conductivity and electrical conductivity in VO_2 film may be attributed to the increasing elastic electron scattering weight, caused by the defects in the film. This work demonstrates the possibility and limitation of investigating the thermal properties of VO_2 thin films by the TDTR method without depositing any metal thermoreflectance layer.     

Direct and indirect optical transitions in Zn3P2

Absorption measurements were made on single crystals of Zn₃P₂ at temperatures of 300, 80 and 5 K, and photo-voltage spectral responses-were measured at 300 K for Au- and In---Zn₃P₂ contacts. Interband absorption was interpreted as a process involving three mechanisms: (1) indirect transitions from the valence band at the Γ point, (2) either excitations from acceptor level to the conduction band at the Γ point, or second indirect transitions associated with the creation of excitons, and (3) band-to-band direct transitions at the Γ point. The effect of the lighting configuration on spectral PV plots is also discussed, and the origin of two peaks of PV responses is interpreted as being in accordance with optical data. The indirect energy gap has been estimated as 1.315eV at 300 K and 1.335 eV at 80 and 5 K, and the direct one as 1.505, 1.645 and 1.685 eV at 300, 80 and 5 K, respectively.
