The knowledge of doping effects on optical and thermal properties of semiconductors is crucial for the development of opto-electronic compounds. The purpose of this work is to investigate these effects by mirage effect technique and spectroscopic ellipsometry SE.
The near gap optical spectra are obtained from photothermal signal for differently doped Si and GaAs bulk samples. However, the above bandgap absorption is determined from SE. These spectra show that absorption in the near IR increases with dopant density and also the bandgap shifts toward low energies. This behavior is due to free carrier absorption which could be obtained by subtracting phonon-assisted absorption from the measured spectrum. This carrier absorption is related to the dopant density through a semi-empirical model.
We have also used the photothermal signal phase to measure the influence of doping on thermal diffusivity. 相似文献
Summary Gold-, gold and copper-doped TiO2 nanotubes (Au/TiO2 NTs, Au-Cu/TiO2 NTs) are prepared by impregnation-reduction method. The doped nanotubes are characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD)
and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Their catalytic performance for CO oxidation is also examined 相似文献
FeMoO4 nanorods and their rare earth (Eu3+ and Tb3+) doped composites with nitrogen doped graphene (NG) were synthesized by facile hydrothermal method in aqueous medium. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis of the as-synthesized samples was done to study the phase purity and crystalline nature. FTIR and Raman Spectroscopy have been studied for investigating the bonding in nanostructures. The surface morphology of the samples was investigated with field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The photolumniscent nature of the samples was investigated by the using the fluorescence spectrophotometer. The photocatalytic degradation efficiency of the prepared pure FeMoO4 and its rare earth doped composites with nitrogen doped graphene was evaluated as function of visible light irradiation versus concentration of methylene blue (MB dye). The prepared nanocomposites show enhanced photocatalytic efficiency as compared to the bare FeMoO4 nanorods. 相似文献
Ce, Nd and Eu doped BSO crystals 20×20× 100mm3 in size have been gown by vertical Bridgman method, and the doped effects on radiation resistance of BSO have also been studied for the first time. Nd and Eu dopns were found to improve the radiation resistance of BSO. However, Cc and Nd dopings degrade the light output of BSO except that Eu doping has almost no effect on it. Therefore, Eu may be the most promising dopant candidate for improving the scintillation properties of BSO crystal. 相似文献
