Comparison of Properties of Pt/PZT/Pt and Ru/PZT/Pt Ferroelectric Capacitors

Pb（Zr0.4Ti0.6）O3 film prepared by sol-gel spin coating on a Pt/Ti/SiO2/Si substrate is applied to ferroelectric capacitors with Pt or Ru as the top electrode. For the Pt/PZT/Pt and Ru/PZT/Pt ferroelectric capacitors, although with the same ferroelectric film, different top electrode materials incur different properties of PZT capacitors, such as fatigue, leakage, remanent and saturated polarization, except the similar crystal orientations of the PZT film. After 10^10 switch cycles, the remanent polarizations of the Ru/PZT/Pt and Pt/PZT/Pt capacitors decrease to 70% and 84%, respectively. The leakage current density of the latter increases obviously at positive bias after 108 switch cycles, compared with the former. Different materials for the top electrode bring different conditions at the PZT/top electrode interface. The influence of oxygen-vacancy concentration at the PZT/electrode interface and the influence of oxides of the electrode material at the PZT/electrode interface to charge injection can explain the difference of properties of the PZT capacitors with Pt or Ru as the top electrodes.     

Determination of the probability of existence of pair interactions in the formation of M2tX2t?1Superstructures in MXy nonstoichiometric compounds

An analytical method has been proposed for calculating the probabilities P _i ^(2)(s) of existence of X-X, X−□, and □−□ pair interactions in the nonmetal sublattice of M _2tX_2t−1 superstructures formed in strongly nonstoichiometric compounds MX _y (MX _y □_1−y) and M ₂X _y (MX_y/2□_1−y/2) with a high content of structural vacancies □. The main characteristics necessary for the quantitative determination of the probabilities P_i(2)(s) as functions of the composition, degree of long-range order, symmetry, and structure type have been determined for all the known superstructures M _2tX_2t−1.     

Assessment of the possibility of determination of the electrophysical characteristics of CdxHg1–xTe p+–n-structures using differential hall measurements

The process of reconstuction of the distribution profile of hole concentration in the p ⁺–n structure by the method of differential Hall measurements upon implantation of ions As⁺ (Е = 190 keV, D = 3.10¹⁴ cm^-2, j = 0.025 μA/cm²) into epitaxial films Cd _x Hg_1–x Te for x ~ 0.2, with the initial electron concentration and mobility n = 10¹⁴ cm^-3 and μ = 2∙10⁵ cm²∙V^–1∙s^–1 is numerically simulated. The dependences of degree of reconstruction of the hole-concentration distribution profile on the depth of a shunting n-layer and magnitude of the magnetic field, at which the electrophysical parameters of the p ⁺–n structure are measured, are calculated. The dependence of the limiting magnetic field determining the magnetic-field range for measurements on the n-layer depth is found. It is shown that in calculations one should use the conduction values measured at the same magnetic fields as the Hall coefficients for determination of the holeconcentration distribution profile using the Petritz model.

Effects of Ag on Electrical Properties of Ag/Ni/p-GaN Ohmic Contact

Properties of the Ag/Ni/p-GaN structure at different temperatures are studied by Auger electron spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy and high resolution x-ray diffraction. The effect of Ag in ohmic contact on the crystalline quality is investigated and the optimized value of annealing temperature is reported. The lowest specific contact resistance of 2.5 × 10^-4 Ωcm^2 is obtained at annealing temperature of 550^o C.     

Effect of biaxial strain on the band gap of wurtzite AlxGa1?xN

First-principles calculations are applied to investigate the effect of biaxial strain on the band gap of wurtzite Al _x Ga_1−x N. The band gap and band gap bowing parameter increase with compressive strain and decrease with tensile strain. The strain-induced changes in the band gap of Al _x Ga_1−x N are linear in the strain range of about −1% to 1% while the linearity is invalid out of the range. The linear coefficient B(x), characterizing the relationship between the band gap and the biaxial stress, with a quadratic form is obtained. The value of the band gap bowing parameter decreases from 1.0 eV for −2% strain to 0.91 eV for unstrained and to 0.67 eV for 2% strain.

Determination of the number of J/ψ events with inclusive J/ψ decays     

《中国物理C(英文版)》2017,(1)

A measurement of the number of J/ψ events collected with the BESⅢ detector in 2009 and 2012 is performed using inclusive decays of the J/ψ. The number of J/ψ events taken in 2009 is recalculated to be(223.7±1.4)×10~6, which is in good agreement with the previous measurement, but with significantly improved precision due to improvements in the BESⅢ software. The number of J/ψ events taken in 2012 is determined to be(1086.9±6.0)×10~6. In total, the number of J/ψ events collected with the BESⅢ detector is measured to be(1310.6±7.0)×106, where the uncertainty is dominated by systematic effects and the statistical uncertainty is negligible.

FTIR spectra and rovibrational analysis of the ν₁₁ band of trans-ClHCCHF and ν₁₀ of trans-ClHCCDF     

Alberto Gambi  Paolo Stoppa 《Journal of Molecular Spectroscopy》2008,252(1):47-51

High-resolution Fourier transform infrared spectra of natural trans-ClHCCHF and of its isotopologue trans-ClHCCDF have been recorded in the region between 700 and 1150 cm⁻¹ with the purpose to analyze the ν₁₁ fundamental of the main species and the ν₁₀ of its deuterated compound. Both bands, of symmetry species A″, present c-type envelope absorptions. Beside the expected features, the K structure of the P(J), Q(J), and R(J) manifolds was resolved and identified; the assignment of the rovibrational transitions was extended up to J = 92 and K_a = 13 for the trans-³⁵ClHCCHF and up to J = 86 and K_a = 10 for trans-³⁵ClHCCDF. More than 2900 and 2700 lines for the main and deuterated species, respectively, were analyzed by a least-squares procedure and reliable spectroscopic molecular parameters were determined for both isotopologues.

Monolayer aspects of high-resolution α_s-plots     

Piotr A. Gauden 《Applied Surface Science》2010,256(17):5285-5291

The problem of the estimation of high resolution comparative plots (α_s method) is revised. Adsorption isotherms of Ar (T = 87 K) are simulated (GCMC) on the bundles of closed and opened multiwalled carbon nanotubes. Those materials are chosen in order to observe the influence of porosity on Ar adsorption, and consequently, on the comparative plots. The introduction of the structural heterogeneity (defects in the external and internal walls of osculating and separated nanotubes) is also studied. The monolayer and multilayer parts of adsorption are extracted from the total amount adsorbed for all studied adsorbents and the reference one (the bundle of the ideal 3-layered carbon tubes with very wide diameters). The significant influence of the distance between carbon nanotubes and defects (in the external and internal walls) is observed on the monolayer α_s-plots. In the case of comparative plots calculated for the multilayer adsorption the differences are also visible; however, the expected linear dependence of the amount adsorbed on a porous solid plotted against the amount adsorbed on a reference nonporous solid (the layer-by-layer adsorption occurs on both solid surfaces) in a wide range of relative pressures is not observed. The obtained results demonstrate the complexity of α_s method when both microporosity and surface heterogeneity are present. A comparison of isotherms shows that for the studied adsorbents Ar is sensitive to the appearance of the geometrical and structural defects, even at low coverage.

Diode laser spectroscopy of the ν₂ fundamental band of cis-HOPO     

P.J. O’Sullivan  P.B. Davies  J.M. Turney 《Journal of Molecular Spectroscopy》2006,235(2):248-260

The absorption spectrum of the ν₂ fundamental band of the cis-conformer of the transient molecule HOPO, namely the terminal PO stretching mode, has been detected and measured using diode laser spectroscopy. The molecule was generated in a discharge flow system containing hydrogen and white phosphorus vapour (P₄) and a trace of oxygen. The spectrum has the appearance of an a-type band of a near prolate asymmetric top. Above K_a = 5 the spectrum is perturbed and transitions terminating on these higher K_a levels were excluded from the fit. The vibrational frequency and rotational constants derived from the unperturbed parts of the spectrum are compatible with new high precision ab initio calculations reported here. A combined fit of the ν₂ band and the ν₄ band data, measured earlier, was carried out. The ν₂ band origin was determined to be 1258.539525(32) cm⁻¹, approximately 5.5 cm⁻¹ higher than the matrix value.

M.D. Saksena  K. Sunanda  S.H. Behere 《Journal of Molecular Spectroscopy》2008,247(1):47-56

The spectrum of B²Σ⁺-X²Σ⁺ system of AlO has been recorded on BOMEM DA8 Fourier transform spectrometer at an apodized resolution of 0.05 cm⁻¹. Nineteen bands of the Δv = 1, 0, −1, and −2 sequences of this band system have been analyzed for the rotational structure. Out of which seven bands, viz. 3-2, 4-3, 2-3, 3-4, 4-5, 5-6 and 6-7 have been analyzed for the first time. The rotational lines of these 19 bands along with 20 earlier analyzed bands, a total of 7200 lines, have been fitted in a simultaneous least squares fit. The study has resulted in determining more precise vibrational and rotational constants of the two states. Because of the high resolution employed it became necessary to invoke H₀ and H₁ coefficients, and a fifth order term to explain the anomalous spin-doubling observed in the v″ = 5, 6 and 7 levels of the X²Σ⁺ state.

Excitation of color degrees of freedom of nuclear matter and J/ψ suppression     

J. Hüfner  B.Z. Kopeliovich  A. Polleri 《The European Physical Journal A - Hadrons and Nuclei》2001,11(4):457-465

In high-energy nuclear collisions, the conventional Glauber model is commonly used to evaluate the contribution to J/ψ suppression originating from the inelastic interaction with colorless bound nucleons. This requires an effective value for the J/ψ-nucleon absorption cross-section which is larger than theoretically expected. On the other hand, multiple nucleon-nucleon collisions, mediated by color exchange interactions, excite their color degrees of freedom. We investigate the importance of this effect and find that these excited states provide a larger cross-section for J/ψ absorption. We conclude that the related corrections are important to explain the effective value extrapolated from experiment. Received: 6 November 2000 / Accepted: 5 June 2001

Ab initio study of the spectroscopy of the XΠ electronic ground states of CNO and NCO     

C. Léonard  H. Gritli 《Journal of Molecular Spectroscopy》2007,243(1):90-98

The X²Π electronic ground states of NCO and CNO have been investigated by complete ab initio methods. The dependence of the Renner-Teller parameters, ? and , on the ab initio method and on the basis set have been studied. These parameters have also been compared to experimental data for NCO. The potential energy surfaces of the X²Π state have been determined by the MRCI method and the cc-pVQZ basis set for NCO and CNO. The rovibronic levels of both isomers have been calculated variationally up to approximatively 4000 cm⁻¹ for J ? 5/2 and K ? 2, with the inclusion of the geometry dependence of the spin-orbit coupling. The agreement with experimental data obtained for NCO is remarkable. A similar accuracy for the ab initio rovibronic levels of CNO is expected since no experimental data exists for this isomer.

Effect of the annealing temperature on the long-term thermal stability of Pt/Si/Ta/Ti/4H–SiC contacts          下载免费PDF全文

《中国物理 B》2015,(10)

The Pt/Si/Ta/Ti multilayer metal contacts on 4H–Si C are annealed in Ar atmosphere at 600°C–1100°C by a rapid thermal processor(RTP). The long-term thermal stability is evaluated by aging the annealed contact at 600°C in air. The contact's properties are determined by current–voltage measurement, and the specific contact resistance is calculated based on the transmission line model(TLM). Transmission electron microscope(TEM) and energy-dispersive x-ray spectrometry(EDX) are used to characterize the interface morphology, thickness, and composition. The results reveal that a higher annealing temperature is favorable for the formation of an Ohmic contact with a lower specific contact resistance, and causes the rapid degradation of the Ohmic contact in the aging process.
