Electrical conductivity in magnesium-doped Al2O3 crystals at moderate temperatures

Abstract

AC and DC electrical measurements between 273 and 800 K were used to characterize the electrical conductivity of Al₂O₃: Mg single crystals containing [Mg]⁰ centers. At low fields contacts are blocking. At high fields, electrical current flows steadily through the sample and the I–V characteristic corresponds to a directly biased barrier with a series resistance (bulk resistance). AC measurements yield values for the junction capacitance as well as for the sample resistance, and provide reproducible conductivity values. The conductivity varies linearly with the [Mg]⁰ concentration and a thermal activation energy of 0.67 eV was obtained, which agrees very well with the activation energy previously reported for the motion of free holes.     

Theoretical explanation of optical absorption spectra and covalent effect of Ni2+ ions in octahedral sites of Ca3Sc2Ge3O12 crystal

The optical absorption spectra (d-d transition bands) and covalent effect of Ni²⁺ ions in octahedral sites of Ca₃Sc₂Ge₃O₁₂ crystal have been investigated by the full energy matrix based on the two spin–orbit coupling parameters model. The bond length of octahedral site is R_i?=?2.19 Å, which can be determined by the cubic crystal-field parameter and optical spectral data. The lattice distortion of the Ni²⁺ center in Ca₃Sc₂Ge₃O₁₂ crystal is also obtained from the calculations. In addition, the result has shown that the covalent effect of Ni²⁺ ion in the octahedral site of Ga₃Sc₂Ge₃O₁₂ is obvious and cannot be ignored. The calculated d-d transition bands agree well with that of the experimental findings, suggesting that the present methods can explain reasonably the optical spectral data and covalent effect of 3d⁸ ions in octahedral lattices.     

Synthesis and Characterization of Monodispersed SiO2@Y3Al5O12:Er3+ Core-Shell Particles

Submicron core-shell structure particles SiO₂@Y₃Al₅O₁₂:Er³⁺, which silica spherical particles was coated with an yttrium aluminum garnet (Y₃Al₅O₁₂) layer doped with Er³⁺, were prepared by the modified Pechini-Type sol-gel method for the first time. The structure and morphology of samples were detected by the X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) measurement, field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), respectively. The results indicate that well-crystallized garnet nanocrystallines were formed on the surface of the silica particles. The luminescent spectra in near infrared and visible region of the core-shell structured SiO₂@Y₃Al₅O₁₂:Er³⁺ powders were also investigated and compared with those of the pure Y₃Al₅O₁₂:Er³⁺ and the Er³⁺ doped silicate glass. The results show that mono-dispersed SiO₂@Y₃Al₅O₁₂:Er³⁺ core-shell spherical particles with the near infrared, red and green luminescent emissions under the excitation of 980 nm laser diode have been successfully synthesized.     

Rotational dependences of line half-widths for CO and CO2 confined in SiO2/Al2O3 xerogel

The absorption spectra of CO and CO₂ confined in nanopores of SiO₂/Al₂O₃ xerogel have been measured using a Bruker IFS-125 HR Fourier spectrometer. Dependences of the half-width values on rotational quantum numbers and the line shift mean values are studied and compared with the data available in literature. Possible causes which can affect the rotational dependences are discussed.     

Oxide coatings on Y3Al5O12:Tb particles

A coating method with precipitating process was developed to reduce the particle size and to improve the particle dispersion of Y₃Al₅O₁₂:Tb³⁺ phosphor prepared by sol-gel method. The particle morphology was observed by using SEM and TEM; and the particle size and its dispersion was measured by using laser scattering technique. Several coating materials were tested. Among them, Al₂(SiO₃)₃ coating not only reduced the particle size from several micrometers to ∼1 μm and improved the particle dispersion, but also well kept luminescent intensities and improved the duration of the phosphor under the bombardment of cathode ray. The mechanism of the particle size reduction was proposed.     

Swift ion irradiation effect on high-k ZrO2- and Al2O3-based MOS devices

This paper describes the heavy ion-induced effects on the electrical characteristics of reactively sputtered ZrO₂ and Al₂O₃ high-k gate oxides deposited in argon plus nitrogen containing plasma. Radiation-induced degradation of sputtered high-k dielectric ZrO₂/Si and Al₂O₃/Si interface was studied using 45?MeV Li³⁺ ions. The devices were irradiated with Li³⁺ ions at various fluences ranging from 5?×?10⁹ to 5?×?10¹²?ions/cm². Capacitance–voltage and current–voltage characteristics were used for electrical characterization. Shift in flat band voltage towards negative value was observed in devices after exposure to ion radiation. Post-deposition annealing effect on the electrical behavior of high-k/Si interface was also investigated. The annealed devices showed better electrical and reliability characteristics. Different device parameters such as flat band voltage, leakage current, interface defect density and oxide-trapped charge have been extracted.The surface morphology and roughness values for films deposited in nitrogen containing plasma before and after ion radiation are extracted from Atomic Force Microscopy.     

Study on the electronic structure of Al12N12 and Al12P12 fullerene-like nano-clusters upon adsorption of CH3F and CH3Cl

ABSTRACT

We study the interaction of two mono-halomethanes (CH₃F and CH₃Cl) on Al₁₂N₁₂ and Al₁₂P₁₂ fullerene-like nano-clusters based on density functional theory (DFT). We search on fully optimised adsorbed systems by theoretical investigation considering binding energies, total density of states, natural bond orbital (NBO) charges, and molecular electrostatic potential. We found that the direction of electron transfer is from halomethane to nano-cluster for all systems, indicating p-type semiconductor property of the mentioned nano-clusters. The interaction energy of halomethanes on nano-clusters is evaluated with dispersion corrected (wB97XD) and non-corrected (B3LYP) methods in order to estimate the dispersion effects. The binding energies are found in order of Al₁₂N₁₂–CH₃F > Al₁₂N₁₂–CH₃Cl > Al₁₂P₁₂–CH₃F > Al₁₂P₁₂–CH₃Cl with the values of ?102.7, ?83.7, ?64.2, and ?48.9 kJ mol^?1 based on wB97XD, respectively. We found significant changes in the location of HOMO as well as LUMO of nano-clusters upon adsorption of the above-mentioned molecules. As a result, we suggest the suitability of Al₁₂N₁₂ nano-cluster as a strong adsorbent for practical applications.     

Development of a “Built-in” Scanning Near Field Microscope Head for an Atomic Force Microscope System and Stress Mapping of an Al2O3/ZrO2 Eutectic Composite

We constructed a scanning near-field optical microscope (SNOM) on a commercially available atomic force microscopy (AFM) apparatus (SPM-9500J2; Shimadzu Corp.) to measure the stress distribution in ceramic composite materials. Features of our SNOM system are: (1) a compact SNOM head substituted for the original AFM head; (2) a wide scanning range (125 × 125 μm²) inherited from the original scanner; (3) use of conventional shear-force regulation; (4) an optical system for the illumination-collection (I-C) mode; (5) excitation by a 488 nm line of an Ar-ion laser, and (6) light detection by photon counting or a polychromator equipped with an electronically cooled charge coupled device (CCD). This SNOM system was used to measure the surface structure and stress distribution of an Al₂O₃/ZrO₂ eutectic composite. We simultaneously measured topographic images and fluorescence spectra of an Al₂O₃/ZrO₂ eutectic composite. We estimated its peak intensity, peak position, and peak width from the fluorescence spectrum during scanning, which respectively correspond to the abundance of Al₂O₃, stress in the grain, and the anisotropy of that stress. Mapping images showed that the stress and its anisotropy were weaker in the center of the Al₂O₃ grain than its boundary between Al₂O₃ and ZrO₂. That observation suggests that Al₂O₃ underwent intense anisotropic stress induced by volume expansion in the phase transition of ZrO₂ from the cubic phase to the monoclinic phase during preparation.     

Investigation of 4H—SiC metal—insulation—semiconductor structure with Al2O3/SiO2 stacked dielectric

Atomic layer deposited (ALD) Al₂O₃/dry-oxidized ultrathin SiO₂ films as high-k gate dielectric grown on the 8° off-axis 4H-SiC (0001) epitaxial wafers are investigated in this paper. The metal-insulation-semiconductor (MIS) capacitors, respectively with different gate dielectric stacks (Al₂O₃/SiO₂, Al₂O₃, and SiO₂) are fabricated and compared with each other. The I-V measurements show that the Al₂O₃/SiO₂ stack has a high breakdown field ( ≥ 12 MV/cm) comparable to SiO₂, and a relatively low gate leakage current of 1× 10^-7 A/cm² at electric field of 4 MV/cm comparable to Al₂O₃. The 1-MHz high frequency C-V measurements exhibit that the Al₂O₃/SiO₂ stack has a smaller positive flat-band voltage shift and hysteresis voltage, indicating less effective charge and slow-trap density near the interface.

Development and characteristic analysis of a field-plated Al2O3/AlInN/GaN MOS–HEMT

We present an AlInN/AlN/GaN MOS–HEMT with a 3 nm ultra-thin atomic layer deposition (ALD) Al₂O₃ dielectric layer and a 0.3 μm field-plate (FP)-MOS--HEMT. Compared with a conventional AlInN/AlN/GaN HEMT (HEMT) with the same dimensions, a FP-MOS--HEMT with a 0.6 μm gate length exhibits an improved maximum drain current of 1141 mA/mm, an improved peak extrinsic transconductance of 325 mS/mm and effective suppression of gate leakage in both the reverse direction (by about one order of magnitude) and the forward direction (by more than two orders of magnitude). Moreover, the peak extrinsic transconductance of the FP-MOS--HEMT is slightly larger than that of the HEMT, indicating an exciting improvement of transconductance performance. The sharp transition from depletion to accumulation in the capacitance--voltage (C--V) curve of the FP-MOS--HEMT demonstrates a high-quality interface of Al₂O₃/AlInN. In addition, a large off-state breakdown voltage of 133 V, a high field-plate efficiency of 170 V/μ m and a negligible double-pulse current collapse is achieved in the FP-MOS--HEMT. This is attributed to the adoption of an ultra-thin Al₂O₃ gate dielectric and also of a field-plate on the dielectric of an appropriate thickness. The results show a great potential application of the ultra-thin ALD-Al₂O₃ FP-MOS--HEMT to deliver high currents and power densities in high power microwave technologies.     

Perovskite Pb(Sc1/2Nb1/2)O3 nanopowders synthesized by surfactant-modulated precipitation

A novel surfactant-modulated precipitation method is proposed to produce pure perovskite Pb(Sc_1/2Nb_1/2)O₃ (PSN) nanopowders at a low temperature of 700 °C. The samples were characterized by XRD, SEM, TEM, and HRTEM, respectively. The results indicate that the powders exhibit a granular shape of 80 nm in diameter. It is believed that the nanosize of as-prepared PSN powders is dependent on the well-dispersed performance, which arouse from the combined effects of both precipitant TMAH and surfactant CTAB. The mechanism of the formation of the pure perovskite PSN nanopowders is discussed in detail. Our method is expected to create a new, low-cost route to produce the promising nanopowders of multi-component perovskite systems.     

High-pressure optical studies on R-line fluorescence lifetime in Al2O3:V2+

The effect of high hydrostatic pressure (up to 10.3?GPa) at room temperature on fluorescence lifetime τ for R line (²E→⁴A₂ transition) in ruby Al₂O₃:V²⁺ was studied. The performed studies show the linear increase of τ with increasing pressure. At 10.3?GPa, τ is about 1.36 times higher than at ambient pressure. The obtained trend was explained by a model which considered the effect of pressure on τ through an induced change of line position, inter-ionic distance, compressibility, and molecular polarizability. A good agreement between the calculated and experimental values for τ was obtained.     

Crystalloluminescence and temporary mechanoluminescence of As2O3 crystals

Crystalloluminescence and temporary mechanoluminescence of As₂O₃ crystals are investigated. The crystalloluminescence spectra are similar to the photoluminescence and mechanoluminescence (of fresh crystals, in CO₂ atmosphere) spectra. The mechanoluminescence spectra of freshly grown crystals taken in air consist of the superposition of the photoluminescence and nitrogen emissions. The mechanoluminescence spectra of old crystals of As₂O₃ consist of only the nitrogen emission. The total number of crystalloluminescence flashes is linearly related to the total mass of the crystals grown. The mechanoluminescence intensity increases with the mass of the crystals. The mechanoluminescence intensity decreases with the age of the crystals and the rate of decrease increases with increasing temperature of the crystals. Different possibilities of crystalloluminescence and mechanoluminescence excitations in As₂O₃ crystals are explored and it is concluded that crystalloluminescence and mechanoluminescence are of different origins.     

Effects of RE2O3 (RE = Tm, Sc, Yb) addition on the superconducting properties of ErBa2Cu3Oy

We investigated the effects of added Tm₂O₃, Sc₂O₃, and Yb₂O₃ on the superconducting properties of sintered Er123 samples. Tm₂O₃ addition caused the least T_c degradation, exhibiting a T_c above 90 K even for 17 vol% addition. Samples with added Sc₂O₃ maintained a T_c at above 90 K up to an addition of 7.2 vol%, while Yb₂O₃-containing samples showed a monotonic decrease in T_c with increased vol% of added Yb₂O₃. Tm₂O₃-containing samples exhibited a slight increase in J_c(0.1 T)/J_c(0) and had constant J_c values even for 17 vol% addition. XRD and SEM results indicate that the Tm₂O₃ is very stable in the superconducting matrix.

Surface Modification of Al2O3 Fiber with Binary Nanoparticles using a Dry-Mechanical Coating Technique

Integrating materials with different functionalities into a composite material to obtain synergetic properties has generated considerable interest in various scientific and technical fields. In this study, a dry-mechanical coating process was used to fix nanosized Al₂O₃ and CuO particles directly onto the surface of Al₂O₃ fiber substrates by employing high shear and compression forces. The resulting composite materials showed good dispersion and homogeneous distribution of Al₂O₃ and CuO nanoparticles. Important coating parameters, including initial particle loadings and processing times were investigated for their effects on coating characteristics and product properties. The experimental results showed that the product surface area increased with higher nanoparticle loadings. The degree of dispersion and homogenous distribution of Al₂O₃ nanoparticles with CuO nanoparticles increased with the processing time. Additionally, the crystalline phase of raw materials was preserved during the coating process under the conditions studied in this work.
