Blue-yellow ZnO homostructural light-emitting diode realized by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition technique

We report on the realization of ZnO homojunction light-emitting diodes (LEDs) fabricated by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition on (0001) ZnO bulk substrate. The p-type ZnO epilayer was formed by nitrogen incorporation using N2O gas as oxidizing and doping sources. Distinct electroluminescence (EL) emissions in the blue and yellow regions were observed at room temperature by the naked eye under forward bias. The EL peak energy coincided with the photoluminescence peak energy of the ZnO epilayer, suggesting that the EL emissions emerge from the ZnO epilayer. In addition, the current-voltage and light output-voltage characteristics of ZnO homojunction LEDs have also been studied. (c) 2006 American Institute of Physics.

射频磁控溅射法制备TiO2-xNX薄膜的结构性能研究

利用射频磁控溅射法室温下在Si（100）衬底上制备了N掺杂的TiO2薄膜，并且采用x射线衍射（XRD）、X射线光电子能谱（XPS）和透射光谱对薄膜进行了表征。XRD结果表明在纯Ar和N2（33．3％）／Ar气氛下制备的TiO2-xNx薄膜均为单一的金红石相，薄膜结晶性良好，呈高度（211）择优取向，而在N2（50．0％）／Ar下制备的薄膜结晶性明显变差；对于N掺杂的TiO2薄膜，XPS表明部分N原子进入TiO2晶格，并且以N—Ti—O、N—O键以及间隙式N原子形式存在；透射光谱表明掺N后的TiO2薄膜吸收边发生了红移。

Enhancement of ferromagnetic properties in In1.99Co0.01O3 by additional Cu doping

This paper reports room-temperature ferromagnetism in Co- and Cu-doped In2O3 samples synthesized by a solid-state reaction method. Structure and composition analyses revealed that Co and Cu were incorporated into the In2O3 lattices. Photoluminescence measurement revealed an additional emission at 520 urn from these doped samples. The magnetic measurement showed that additional Cu doping greatly enhanced the ferromagnetism of In1.99Co0.01O3 bulk samples. The implication of the effects of additional Cu doping is also discussed.

Influences of Al doping concentration on structural, electrical and optical properties of Zn0.95Ni0.05O powders

Nanocrystalline Zn0.95 - xNi0.05AlxO (x = 0.01, 0.02, 0.05 and 0.10) diluted magnetic semiconductors have been synthesized by an auto-combustion method. X-ray diffraction measurements indicate that all Al-doped Zn0.95Ni0.05O samples have the pure wurtzite structure. Transmission electron microscope analyses show that the as-synthesized powders are of the size 40 - 45 nm. High-resolution transmission electron microscope, energy dispersive spectrometer and X-ray photoemission spectroscope analyses indicate that Ni2+ and Al3+ uniformly substitute Zn2+ in the wurtzite structure without forming any secondary phases. The Al doping concentration dependences of cell parameters (a and c), resistance and the ratio of green emission to UV emission have the similar trends. (c) 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
