Photoacoustic investigation of the effective diffusivity of two-layer semiconductors

The problem of the effective thermal diffusivity of two-layer systems is investigated using the photoacoustic spectroscopy. The experimental results are examined in terms of the effective thermal parameters of the composite system determined from a homogeneous material that produces the same physical response under an external perturbation in the detector device. It is shown that the effective thermal conductivity is not symmetric under exchange of the two layers of the composite, i.e. the effective thermal parameters depend upon which layer is illuminated in the photoacoustic experiments. Particular emphasis is given to the characterization of the interface thermal conductivity between the layer system.     

Conductivity of high-resistance π layers and parameters of iron-doped GaAs diode structures

We propose a method for determining the behavior of the conductivity of high-resistance photosensitive films separated from the substrate by a space charge region. The method is based on measurement of the potential distribution ϕ(r) over the surface of an illuminated film which arises as the photocurrent flows through it. We have studied diode structures made ofn-GaAs, fabricated by doping with deep acceptor impurities which act as fast switches and photodetectors with high sensitivity in the ultraviolet region. The results are compared with literature data for iron-doped GaAs. V. D. Kuznetsova Physicotechnical Institute, Tomsk State University, Siberia.

Optically controlled characteristics of a new heterojunction field effect transistor

A new heterojunction field effect transistor has been proposed and studied analytically to investigate its suitability as a high speed optical detector. The characteristics of the device have been studied in the dark as well as in the illuminated conditions. In the new structure the Schottky gate of a typical high electron mobility transistor (HEMT) has been replaced by a junction gate in order to facilitate the absorption of optical radiation. The performance of the new device has been compared with that of the existing HEMT structure for similar application. It is seen that the absorption of optical radiation of suitable wavelength in the larger bandgap material results into conductivity modulation of the channel giving rise to a considerable change in the saturation drain current in illuminated conditions. This enables the device to respond to an intensity modulated optical signal. It has further been observed that due to an increased optical absorption region the modified structure shows a much better optical sensitivity than the existing one.

Shape identification of underwater objects using backscattered frequency signals

The inverse problems in the area of the acoustic scattering often concern the determination of the size, shape, and orientation of an object using the scattered field data. This paper presents a method to retrieve the shape information of an underwater object using illuminated lengths, which can be obtained from the ramp response signatures of the object. An ellipsoidal object submerged in water is considered. Both the low and high backscattered frequency data have been employed to calculate the illuminated lengths. The calculated results show that the illuminated lengths will be more accurate, if only the high-frequency-range data are employed. For ellipsoidal objects, any three illuminated lengths that are not of a same plane can in theory fully determine the shape of the ellipsoid. As the calculated illuminated lengths contain numerical errors, the calculated results of the three semiaxes of the ellipsoid will deteriorate and become unreliable, especially when the three incident directions of the illuminated lengths become close. The reason is that the condition number of the coefficient matrix becomes big in such situations, which leads to an increase of the relative error upper limit in the calculated results. To avoid such errors in close incident wave cases, it is found that the use of more than three incident waves works very well in the shape identification of an underwater object.     

Photoinduced submillimeter-wave amplitude diffraction grating in a semiconducting CdF<Subscript>2</Subscript>:Ga crystal

It is shown that exposure of an additively colored CdF₂:Ga crystal with bistable DX centers that is slowly cooled to 150 K to blue-green light through a slotted mask produces a submillimeter-wave diffraction grating, which persists for a long time at temperatures of 160–240 K. It is also shown that the diffraction grating induced in a sample is an amplitude grating. The absorption of submillimeter waves in illuminated regions of the sample is associated with the conductivity due to the transition of impurity centers to a metastable donor state. In the n-i-n-i-type conducting structure obtained, the conductivity of n-type regions at 225 K amounts to σ ′ ≈ 0.24 Ω^?1 cm^?1.     

Electric field dependent photodecomposition of a-As2Se3

Electric field dependent photodensification of electroded, thin a-As₂Se₃ films is observed in the field range ?E?1.4 × 10⁵ V/cm. The applied field decreases the amount of ultimate photodensification, and, a non-transient increase in conductivity of the film occurs in the illuminated area. The field dependent optical absorption coefficient, α(R), cannot account for the decrease in photodensification. An extension to the concept of bond breaking in molecular solids is proposed to account for the observed phenomenon.     

Effects of photoexcitation on the current transport mechanism in amorphous indium selenide thin films

The effect of photoexcitation on the current transport mechanism in amorphous indium selenide thin films was studied by means of dark and illuminated conductivity measurements as a function of temperature. Analysis of the dark electrical conductivity in the temperature range 110–320 K reveals behaviour characteristic of carriers excited to the conduction band and thermally assisted variable-range hopping (VRH) at the Fermi level above 280 K and below 220 K, respectively. In the temperature range 220–280 K, a mixed conduction mechanism was observed. A conductivity activation energy of ～300 meV (above 280 K), a density of localised states (evaluated assuming a localisation length of 5 Å) of 1.08 × 10²¹ cm^?3 eV^?1, an average hopping distance of 20.03 Å (at 120 K) and an average hopping energy of 27.64 meV have been determined from the dark electrical measurements. When the sample was exposed to illumination at a specific excitation flux and energy, the values of the conductivity activation energy, the average hopping energy and the average hopping range were significantly decreased. On the other hand, the density of localised states near the Fermi level increased when the light flux was increased. Such behaviour was attributed to a reversible Fermi level shift on photoexcitation.     

On the possibility to determine the transverse wind velocity from the correlation of coherent images of an atmospheric layer

Nonequilibrium paramagnetic susceptibility of gallium impurity centers in lead telluride

The temperature dependences of the resistance and magnetic susceptibility are studied in gallium-doped lead telluride, which is characterized by a delayed photoconductivity effect, under various illumination conditions. After a sample is illuminated at low temperatures, the magnetic susceptibility is diamagnetic in the region of metallic delayed conductivity (for T<=0 K). In the region of thermodynamic equilibrium (T<70 K), where conductivity is activational, the magnetic susceptibility is likewise diamagnetic and essentially equals the low-temperature value. A paramagnetic susceptibility peak is observed in the transitional region (T∼50–70 K), where the conductivity is of a nonequilibrium character but the carriers are still nondegenerate. This peak increases in magnitude with the rate of measurements in the indicated temperature range. In addition, a paramagnetic variation of the susceptibility following the Curie law is observed with uncontrollable (weak) illumination from the cryostat cap at low temperatures (T<25 K). The interpretation of the observed dependences is based on notions of variable valence of gallium in lead telluride, while the appearance of a paramagnetic susceptibility peak is attributed to the presence of shallow localized levels of gallium in a trivalent state.

Intensity distribution and focal depth of axicon illuminated by Gaussian Schell-model beam

In view of second-order coherence theory, the generalized diffractive axicon illuminated by partially coherent Gaussian Schell-model (GSM) beams is analyzed. An analytical equation for focal depth of axicon without aperture illuminated by spatial partially coherent GSM beam is derived. We showed that the off-axis images can be evaluated by using the method of stationary phase at any correlation state, hence we demonstrated that the intensity distribution of diffracted beam is a superposition of Bessel Beams of various orders. We also showed that the diffracted beam is nondiffractive only on the boundaries of the focal depth.     

Caustics,pseudocaustics and the related illuminated and dark regions with the computational method of quantifier elimination

The method of caustics is a powerful experimental method in elasticity and particularly in fracture mechanics for crack problems. The related method of pseudocaustics is also of interest. Here we apply the computational method of quantifier elimination implemented in the computer algebra system Mathematica in order to determine (i) the non-parametric equation and two properties of the caustic at a crack tip and especially (ii) the illuminated and the dark regions related to caustics and pseudocaustics in plane elasticity and plate problems. The present computations concern: (i) The derivation of the non-parametric equation of the classical caustic about a crack tip through the elimination of the parameter involved (here the polar angle) as well as two geometrical properties of this caustic. (ii) The derivation of the inequalities defining the illuminated region on the screen in the problem of an elastic half-plane loaded normally by a concentrated load with the boundary of this illuminated region related to some extent to the caustic formed. (iii) Similarly for the problem of a clamped circular plate under a uniform loading with respect to the caustic and the pseudocaustic formed. (iv) Analogously for the problem of an equilateral triangular plate loaded by uniformly distributed moments along its whole boundary, which defines the related pseudocaustic. (v) The determination of quantities of interest in mechanics from the obtained caustics or pseudocaustics. The kind of computations in the applications (ii) to (iv), i.e. the derivation of inequalities defining the illuminated region on the screen, seems to be completely new independently of the use here of the method of quantifier elimination. Additional applications are also possible, but some of them require the expansion of the present somewhat limited power of the quantifier elimination algorithms in Mathematica. This is expected to take place in the future.     

Design of two-dimensional random surfaces with specified scattering properties

“Heat trap”: Light-induced localized heating and thermionic electron emission from carbon nanotube arrays

Light-induced heating of a typical bulk conductor to thermionic electron emission temperatures usually requires high-power lasers. This is because of the efficient dissipation of heat generated at the illuminated spot to the surroundings, since electrical conductors are normally also good thermal conductors. We show that the situation can be drastically different in a carbon nanotube forest and a spot on the surface of the forest can be heated to above 2000 K using a low-power beam of visible light, leading to localized thermionic electron emission. This unique phenomenon may be explained by a rapid drop in thermal conductivity with increase in temperature, leading to a positive feedback that thermally isolates an island on the forest. Applications include thermoelectrics, photocathodes, optical switches, solar cells and even solar displays.
