Identification and thermal healing of focused ion beam-induced defects in GaN using off-axis electron holography

Nicolas Grandjean, Jean-François Carlin, Raphaël Butté, Yi Wang

Thermal healing of focused ion beam-implanted defects in GaN is investigated by off-axis electron holography in TEM. The data reveal that healing starts at temperatures as low as about 250 degrees C. The healing processes result in an irreversible transiti ...

Reduction of Fermi level pinning at Cu-BP interfaces by atomic passivation

Xiao Zhou, Cheng Chen, Pengfei Ou

Black phosphorus (BP) is a semiconducting material with a direct finite band gap in its monolayer, attracting intense attention for its application in field-effect transistors. However, strong Fermi level pinning (FLP) has been observed for contacts betwee ...

Identification of Semiconductor Defects through Constant-Fermi-Level Ab Initio Molecular Dynamics: Application to GaAs

Alfredo Pasquarello, Assil Bouzid

We show that constant-Fermi-level ab initio molecular dynamics can be used as a computer-based tool to reveal and control relevant defects in semiconductor materials. In this scheme, the Fermi level can be set at any position within the band gap during the ...

Fermi-level pinning and intrinsic surface states of Al1-xInxNd(10(1)over-bar0) surfaces

Nicolas Grandjean, Jean-François Carlin, Raphaël Butté

The electronic structure of Al1-xInxNd(10 (1) over bar0) surfaces is investigated by cross-sectional scanning tunneling spectroscopy and density functional theory calculations. The surface exhibits empty Al and/or In-derived dangling bond states, which are ...

Band Alignment Engineering at Cu2O/ZnO Heterointerfaces

Michael Graetzel, Stanley David Tilley

Energy band alignments at heterointerfaces play a crucial role in defining the functionality of semiconductor devices, yet the search for material combinations with suitable band alignments remains a challenge for numerous applications. In this work, we de ...

Charge distribution and Fermi level in bimetallic nanoparticles

Pekka Eero Peljo

Upon metal-metal contact, a transfer of electrons will occur between the metals until the Fermi levels in both phases are equal, resulting in a net charge difference across the metal-metal interface. Here, we have examined this contact electrification in b ...

Royal Society of Chemistry2016

Gallium arsenide is currently under scrutiny for replacing silicon in microelectronic devices due to its high carrier mobilities. However, the widespread use of this semiconductor is hampered by the intrinsic difficulty of producing high-quality interfaces ...

Interfacial Ga-As suboxide: Structural and electronic properties

Alfredo Pasquarello, Davide Colleoni

The structural and electronic properties of Ga-As suboxide representative of the transition region at the GaAs/oxide interface are studied through density functional calculations. Two amorphous models generated by quenches from the melt are taken under con ...

The O-As defect in GaAs: A hybrid density functional study

Alfredo Pasquarello, Davide Colleoni

The O center substitutional to As (O-As) is addressed through hybrid functional calculations as a candidate defect to explain the Fermi-level pinning in oxygen-doped GaAs. The defect center shows amphoteric behavior which could lead to Fermi-level pinning. ...
