The comparison between CdS thin films grown on Si(111) substrate and quartz substrate by femtosecond pulsed laser deposition

Two kinds of cadmium sulfate (CdS) thin films have been grown at 600 °C onto Si(111) and quartz substrates using femtosecond pulsed laser deposition (PLD). The influence of substrates on the structural and optical properties of the CdS thin films grown by femtosecond pulsed laser deposition have been studied. The CdS thin films were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), atomic force microscopy (AFM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), photoluminescence (PL) and Raman spectroscopy. Although CdS thin films deposited both on Si(111) and quartz substrates were polycrystalline and hexagonal as shown by the XRD , SEM and AFM results, the crystalline quality and optical properties were found to be different. The size of the grains for the CdS thin film grown on Si(111) substrate were observed to be larger than that of the CdS thin film grown on quartz substrate, and there is more microcrystalline perpendicularity of c-axis for the film deposited on the quartz substrate than that for the films deposited on the Si substrate. In addition, in the PL spectra, the excitonic peak is more intense and resolved for CdS film deposited on quartz than that for the CdS film deposited on Si(111) substrate. The LO and TO Raman peaks in the CdS films grown on Si(111) substrate and quartz substrate are different, which is due to higher stress and bigger grain size in the CdS film grown on Si(111) substrate, than that of the CdS film grown on the amorphous quartz substrate. All this suggests that the substrates have a significant effect on the structural and optical properties of thin CdS films. PACS 81.15.Fg; 81.05.Ea; 78.20.-e; 78.67.-n; 42.62.-b     

Raman spectra and XPS studies of phase changes in Ge2Sb2Te5 films

Ge_2Sb_2Te_5 film was deposited by RF magnetron sputtering on Si (100) substrate. The structure of amorphous and crystalline Ge_2Sb_2Te_5 thin films was investigated using XRD, Raman spectra and XPS. XRD measurements revealed the existence of two different crystalline phases, which has a FCC structure and a hexagonal structure, respectively. The broad peak in the Raman spectra of amorphous Ge_2Sb_2Te_5 film is due to the amorphous －Te－-Te－ stretching. As the annealing temperature increases, the broad peak separates into two peaks, which indicates that the heteropolar bond in GeTe_4 and the Sb－Sb bond are connected with four Te atoms, and other units such as (TeSb) Sb－Sb (Te_2) and (Sb_2) Sb－Sb (Te_2), where some of the four Te atoms in the above formula are replaced by Sb atoms, remain in crystalline Ge_2Sb_2Te_5 thin film. And from the results of Raman spectra and XPS, higher the annealing temperature, more Te atoms bond to Ge atoms and more Sb atoms substitute Te in (Te_2) Sb－Sb (Te_2).     

Al和Sb共掺对ZnO有序阵列薄膜的结构和光学性能的影响

采用水热合成法在预先生长的ZnO种子层的玻璃衬底上制备出Al和Sb共掺ZnO纳米棒有序阵列薄膜. 通过X射线衍射、扫描电镜、透射电镜和选区电子衍射分析表明:所制备的薄膜由垂直于ZnO种子层的纳米棒组成, 呈单晶六角纤锌矿ZnO结构, 且沿[001]方向择优生长, 纳米棒的平均直径和长度分别为27.8 nm和1.02 μm. Al和Sb共掺ZnO纳米棒有序阵列薄膜的拉曼散射分析表明:相对于未掺杂ZnO薄膜的拉曼振动峰(580 cm^-1), Al和Sb共掺ZnO阵列薄膜的E₁(LO)振动模式存在拉曼位移. 当Al和Sb的掺杂量为3.0at%,4.0at%,5.0at%,6.0at%时, Al和Sb共掺ZnO阵列薄膜的拉曼振动峰的位移量分别为3,10,14,12 cm^-1. E₁ (LO) 振动模式位移是由Al和Sb掺杂ZnO产生的缺陷引起的. 室温光致发光结果表明:掺杂Al和Sb后, ZnO薄膜在545 nm处的发光强度减小,在414 nm处的发光强度增加. 这是由于掺杂Al和Sb后, ZnO薄膜中Zn_i缺陷增加, O_i缺陷减少引起的. 关键词： Al和Sb共掺ZnO薄膜 纳米棒有序阵列 结构表征 拉曼散射     

Raman study of InAs quantum dots on GaAs/InP grown by low pressure metal-organic chemical vapor deposition

Raman spectra of InAs quantum dots (QDs) on InP substrate were investigated. Both longitudinal-optic (LO) and transverse-optic (TO) frequency of InAs QDs showed a large blue-shift comparing to its bulk due to the compressive strain in InAs QDs. Raman scattering of InAs QDs with a thin GaAs interlayer was studied. We obtained that the peak position of LO and TO mode of InAs QDs became larger blue-shifted when we inserted the GaAs layer. At the same time, we found a red-shift of the frequency of GaAs LO mode because of tensile strain. Theoretical calculation was performed and its prediction coincided with our experiment results well. They both showed that strain played an important role in formation of InAs QDs.     

Temperature dependence of the optical properties of ZnSe films deposited on quartz substrate

ZnSe thin films were deposited by pulsed laser ablation on quartz substrate. The films were investigated by different characterization techniques, such as X-ray diffraction, Raman microspectroscopy, absorption, reflectivity, and photoluminescence spectroscopy. The XRD analysis showed the formation of cubic phase polycrystalline films. The Raman spectra confirmed the formation of ZnSe by the presence of TO and LO peaks at 202 cm^-1 and 252 cm^-1, respectively. The analysis of absorption and reflectivity measurements permits evaluation of the band gap and excitonic energy at low temperature and the temperature dependence of the energy gap. The photoluminescence measurements indicated the possibility of obtaining intrinsic band-band radiative emission up to room temperature. PACS 52.38.Mf; 78.55.-m; 78.55.Et     

Near infrared to UV dielectric functions of Al doped ZnO films deposited on c-plane sapphire substrate using pulsed laser deposition

Transparent conducting polycrystalline Al-doped ZnO (AZO) films were deposited on sapphire substrates at substrate temperatures ranging from 200 to 300 °C by pulsed laser deposition (PLD). X-ray diffraction measurement shows that the crystalline quality of AZO films was improved with increased substrate temperature. The electrical and optical properties of the AZO films have been systematically studied via various experimental tools. The room-temperature micro-photoluminescence (µ-PL) spectra show a strong ultraviolet (UV) excitonic emission and weak deep-level emission, which indicate low structural defects in the films. A Raman shift of about 11 cm⁻¹ is observed for the first-order longitudinal-optical (LO) phonon peak for AZO films when compared to the LO phonon peak of bulk ZnO. The Raman spectra obtained with UV resonant excitation at room temperature show multi-phonon LO modes up to third order. Optical response due to free electrons of the AZO films was characterized in the photon energy range from 0.6 to 6.5 eV by spectroscopic ellipsometry (SE). The free electron response was expressed by a simple Drude model combined with the Cauchy model are reported.

旋光性单轴晶体的喇曼光谱中TO和LO模的识别

本文提出一种简便识别旋光性单轴晶体喇曼光谱中横模和纵模的方法。应用90°散射几何配置x(z+Δy,xz)y,散射光的偏振方向与x轴成δ夹角。应用Loudon给出的单轴晶体极性声子的喇曼散射效率公式,计算TO和LO模的散射效率,它们依赖于喇曼张量元和δ角,其极大值分别位于δ_max^TO和δ_max^LO处,这两个角度的符号正好相反。因此,由判定δ_max的符号,可以将TO和LO模区分开来,并且从|δ_max|值可以了解喇曼张量的各向异性。 关键词：     

氮化铝结构的高温Raman光谱分析

本文测量了氮化铝在不同温度下的Raman光谱 ,并确定了氮化铝的光学声子模E2 1、A1(TO)、E2 2 、E1(TO)、A1(LO)和E1(LO)Raman散射峰的频率 ,它们分别为 2 5 2cm- 1、6 1 4cm- 1、6 5 8cm- 1、6 72cm- 1、894cm- 1和 91 2cm- 1,其中光学声子模A1(TO)、E2 2 的Raman散射峰比较明显。随着温度的升高 ,A1(TO)、E2 2 散射峰的频率向低波数方向变化 ,表明氮化铝粉末压制体中存在的压应力逐渐减小 ;这两个散射峰的半高宽逐渐增大 ,说明随着温度的升高 ,存在氮原子和铝原子的扩散使得氮化铝粉末压制体中晶体结构逐渐发生变化。由于氮化铝粉末本身在空气中易与水蒸气发生反应 ,生成的Al(OH) 3 或AlOOH在加热过程会发生分解 ,干扰样品高温Raman光谱测量。     

N型4H-SiC低温拉曼光谱特性

利用拉曼散射技术对N型4H-SiC单晶材料进行了30～300 K温度范围的光谱测量。实验结果表明,随着温度的升高,N型4H-SiC单晶材料的拉曼峰峰位向低波数方向移动,峰宽逐渐增宽。分析认为,晶格振动随着温度的升高而随之加剧,其振动恢复力会逐渐减小,使振动频率降低;原子相对运动会随温度的升高而加剧,使得原子之间及晶胞之间的相互作用减弱,致使声学模和光学模皆出现红移现象。随着温度的升高,峰宽逐渐增宽。这是由于随着温度的升高声子数逐渐增加,增加的声子进一步增加了散射概率,从而降低了声子的平均寿命,而声子的平均寿命与峰宽成反比,因此随着温度的升高峰宽逐渐增宽。声子模强度随温度升高呈现不同规律,E₂(LA),E₂(TA),E₁(TA)和A₁(LA)声子模随着温度升高强度单调增加,而E₂(TO),E₁(TO)和A₁(LO)声子模强度出现了先增后减的明显变化,在138 K强度出现极大值。分析认为造成原因是由于当温度高于138 K时,高能量的声子分裂成多个具有更低能量的声子所致。

Resonance Raman study of He+ ion implanted nanostructured ZnS

ZnS nanocrytsals of size ∼2.5 nm were prepared by chemical precipitation technique. Pressed pellets of nanostructured ZnS were implanted with He⁺ ions at doses of 5 × 10¹⁴, 1 × 10¹⁵ and 5 × 10¹⁵ ions/cm². Raman spectra of both unimplanted and He⁺ ion implanted samples were recorded with ultraviolet (UV) excitation. LO, 2LO, 2TO, (LO + TA) and (2TO − TA) modes of ZnS were observed in the resonance Raman spectra of the unimplanted nanostructured ZnS samples. In addition, a surface mode was observed at 294 cm⁻¹. With the implantation of He⁺ ions, the 2TO mode disappeared and 2LO mode became prominent and this observation was attributed to the decrease in band gap of ZnS nanocrytsals due to ion implantation. The exciton–LO phonon coupling strength was determined from the intensity ratio of 2LO to LO modes and it was observed that the exciton–LO phonon coupling strength increases with increase in implantation dose. In the present work, we report for the first time the observation of 2TO mode in the resonance Raman spectrum of nanostructured ZnS and also the modification of exciton–LO phonon coupling strength of semiconductor nanoparticles by ion implantation.

基于拉曼光谱技术的光栅耦合结构半导体激光器的可靠性分析

光栅耦合结构的半导体激光器在自由空间光通信、卫星间通信、激光雷达测距、大气环境检测以及医学成像等领域有着广泛的应用前景。为了分析光栅耦合结构的半导体激光器的可靠性,本文基于拉曼光谱技术,对光栅耦合结构的半导体激光器在不同的制备阶段及其成品进行了检测。我们发现,对于未进行任何工艺加工的半导体激光器芯片,GaAs纵向(LO)光学光子模式的振动强而横向(TO)光学光子模式的振动弱;当在GaAs芯片表面生长一层SiO₂膜后,LO模式向长波数方向移动,强度没有变化。当在生长SiO₂膜的GaAs芯片上刻蚀100 μm的台面后,GaAs的LO模式的振动减弱而TO模式的振动加强,且峰出现宽化现象;在100 μm的台面上刻蚀光栅后,GaAs的LO模式的振动继续减弱而TO模式的变得更强,这说明在光栅耦合激光器的制备工艺过程中引入了缺陷。通过与无光栅的半导体激光器进行对比测试,光栅耦合结构半导体激光器无论出光面上有无缺陷,其拉曼光谱均有缺陷峰存在,进一步证明了在光栅结构的制备过程中,引入了应变或者缺陷,对其可靠性产生了影响,导致光栅耦合结构的半导体激光器可靠性降低。     

ZnSe-ZnS应变超晶格的Raman散射

本文报导了Znse—ZnS应变超晶格的Raman光学声子谱.我们观测到,随着应变大小的改变,ZnSe和ZnS的纵向光学声子发生频移.ZnSe层中纵向光学声子可发生较大的蓝移,也可发生较小的红移;ZnS层中的纵向光学声子发生较大的红移.这些现象为“应变场下的光学模理论”所解释.文中还报导了在波数为110cm-1处观测到一很强的散射峰,并把它归结为超晶格表面层单斜Se所引起的散射;在其它地方还观测到非晶态Se、三角Se引起的散射峰.
