Optimization of ZnSe film growth conditions for p-type doping

Wide bandgap semiconductors such as ZnSe and ZnO have attracted great interest due to their applications in solar cells, light emitting diodes, and lasers. However, these wide bandgap semiconductors are frequently difficult to be doped to heavy concentrations, greatly limiting their application. A substrate holder with a natural temperature gradient was developed for batch growth of films at different deposition temperatures, in order to investigate ZnSe film growth and doping challenges. Thin ZnSe films were grown by pulsed laser deposition and characterized using X-ray diffraction, optical transmission and reflection, Raman spectroscopy, and Energy Dispersive X-ray analysis. Deposition temperature and film stoichiometry (Zn:Se) are shown to be significant factors affecting ZnSe growth and doping. ZnSe films with improved crystallinity have been obtained by enriching with selenium and depositing at an optimized temperature. Heavily p-type ZnSe films with hole concentrations of ~2.7 × 10¹⁹ cm^?3 and resistivities of ~0.099 Ohm cm have been obtained (compared with previous reports of ~1 × 10¹⁸ cm^?3 and ~0.75 Ohm cm). The results, which are consistent with previous theoretical prediction of compensating defects in ZnSe films, can help to optimize ZnSe growth conditions and understand doping challenges in wide bandgap semiconductors.

Dynamic flight stability of a model dronefly in vertical flight

The dynamic flight stability of a model dronefly in hovering and upward flight is studied.The method of computational fluid dynamics is used to compute the stability derivatives and the techniques of eigenvalue and eigenvector used to solve the equations of motion.The major finding is as following.Hovering flight of the model dronefly is unstable because of the existence of an unstable longitudinal and an unstable lateral natural mode of motion.Upward flight of the insect is also unstable,and the instability increases as the upward flight speed increases.Inertial force generated by the upward flight velocity coupled with the disturbance in pitching angular velocity is responsible for the enhancement of the instability.     

Evaluation of Euler fluxes by a high-order CFD scheme: shock instability

The construction of Euler fluxes is an important step in shock-capturing/upwind schemes. It is well known that unsuitable fluxes are responsible for many shock anomalies, such as the carbuncle phenomenon. Three kinds of flux vector splittings (FVSs) as well as three kinds of flux difference splittings (FDSs) are evaluated for the shock instability by a fifth-order weighted compact nonlinear scheme. The three FVSs are Steger–Warming splitting, van Leer splitting and kinetic flux vector splitting (KFVS). The three FDSs are Roe's splitting, advection upstream splitting method (AUSM) type splitting and Harten–Lax–van Leer (HLL) type splitting. Numerical results indicate that FVSs and high dissipative FDSs undergo a relative lower risk on the shock instability than that of low dissipative FDSs. However, none of the fluxes evaluated in the present study can entirely avoid the shock instability. Generally, the shock instability may be caused by any of the following factors: low dissipation, high Mach number, unsuitable grid distribution, large grid aspect ratio, and the relative shock-internal flow state (or position) between upstream and downstream shock waves. It comes out that the most important factor is the relative shock-internal state. If the shock-internal state is closer to the downstream state, the computation is at higher susceptibility to the shock instability. Wall-normal grid distribution has a greater influence on the shock instability than wall-azimuthal grid distribution because wall-normal grids directly impact on the shock-internal position. High shock intensity poses a high risk on the shock instability, but its influence is not as much as the shock-internal state. Large grid aspect ratio is also a source of the shock instability. Some results of a second-order scheme and a first-order scheme are also given. The comparison between the high-order scheme and the two low-order schemes indicates that high-order schemes are at a higher risk of the shock instability. Adding an entropy fix is very helpful in suppressing the shock instability for the two low-order schemes. When the high-order scheme is used, the entropy fix still works well for Roe's flux, but its effect on the Steger–Warming flux is trivial and not much clear.
