The Meyer-Neldel rule in the processes of thermal emission and hole capture in Ge/Si quantum dots

The hole thermal-emission rates and the cross sections for hole capture to the bound states in Ge quantum dots in Si are determined by admittance spectroscopy. The capture cross sections and the activation energies for emission rate are found to be related to each other by the Meyer-Neldel rule with a characteristic energy of 27±3 meV, which does not depend on the quantum-dot size. It is established that the capture cross section changes with temperature following the activation law. The experimental data are evidence of a unified multiphonon mechanism for the activation processes of hole transitions from the Ge quantum dots to the Si valence band and hole capture back into the quantum dots.     

Synthèse du mèthyl-1 diformyl-2,3 pyrrole,de la méthyl-1 pyrrolo[2,3-d] pyridazine et de la méthyl-1 oxo-6 (6h)cycloheptatrieno[b] pyrrole

This communication describes the synthesis of l-methyl-2,3-diformylpyrrole. This new compound is used to prepare a new heterocycle, l-methylcyclohepta[b]pyrrol-6-one and thus allows a new synthesis of l-methylpyrrolo[2,3-d]pyridazine.     

LiNa2AlF6: a powder structure solution

Lithium sodium aluminium fluoride was obtained as a white powder by melting a stoichiometric mixture of AlF₃, NaF and LiF at 1223 K, and then cooling to 923 K and sintering at this temperature for 4 h. The ab initio crystal structure determination was carried out using X‐ray powder diffraction techniques. The monoclinic structure of LiNa₂AlF₆ can be related to cubic elpasolite. The Li and Al atoms lie on inversion centres. The main octahedral AlF₆ structural elements are not deformed, but are rotated slightly with respect to the unit‐cell axes. The Li atoms have octahedral coordinations, whereas the Na atoms have cubo‐octahedral coordinations. The Na coordination polyhedron is distorted in comparison with that of elpasolite.     

Equations for nonlinear waves on shallow water

Steady-state free plane surface waves are investigated in the nonlinear formulation by means of the narrow streak method. The second-order differential equation derived can readily be integrated numerically. The first approximation of the equation is integrated. The next approximation leads to a nonlinear first-order differential equation which is traditional to the problem considered and whose coefficients have a simple physical meaning.     

Bidirectional photocurrent of holes in layers of Ge/Si quantum dots

Spectra of the photocurrent of holes in δ-doped Si layers with Ge quantum dots in weak external electric fields have been studied. It has been established that the photocurrent of the holes in the photovoltaic mode changes its sign with the increase in the impurity concentration in the δ layers. It has been found that there is a voltage range in the vicinity of the zero bias in which the direction of the photocurrent is determined by the wavelength of the exciting radiation.     

Investigation of time characteristics of photodetectors based on Ge/Si nanoheterostructures

Results of investigations into the time characteristics of photosensitive layers based on Ge/Si nanoheterostructures excited by femtosecond laser pulses with a wavelength of 1.55 μm are given. It is demonstrated that the leading front duration of the photoresponse pulse for the examined specimens excited by laser pulses of 120 fs duration does not exceed 30–40 пs.
