Photoluminescence and activation on SI-GaAs by Si+ implantation and following rapid thermal annealing

Photoluminescence (PL) and electrical characteristics of SI-GaAs, Si+-implanted and following rapid thermal annealing (RTA), were investigated, The PL spectra of Si-GA-C-As, Ga-i-Si-As, and V-As-Si-As were obtained. This paper concentrates on the PL peak at 1.36 eV which was proven as an emission of the Si-Ga-V-Ga combination by Si+ + P+ dual implantation. The results indicate that the peak at 1.36 eV appears when the ratio of As:Ga increased during the processing. Also high activation was obtained for the sample under the same conditions. More discussion on the mechanism of Si+ implanted SI-GaAs has been made based on the Morrow model [J. Appl. Phys, 64 (1988) 1889].

Catalytic Activation of Mg-Doped GaN by Hydrogen Desorption Using Different Metal Thin Layers

The annealing of Mg-doped GaN with Pt and Mo layers has been found to effectively improve the hole concentration of such material by more than 2 times as high as those in the same material without metal. Compared with the Ni and Mo catalysts, Pt showed good activation effect for hydrogen desorption and ohmic contact to the Ni/Au electrode. Despite the weak hydrogen desorption, Mo did not diffuse into the GaNepilayer in the annealing process, thus suppressing the carrier compensation phenomenon with respect to Ni and Pt depositions, which resulted in the high activation of Mg acceptors. For the GaN activated with the Ni, Pt, and Mo layers, the blue emission became dominant, followed by a clear peak redshift and the degradation of photoluminescence signal when compared with that of GaN without metal.

Oxidative activation of light alkanes on dense ionic oxygen conducting membranes

The oxidative dehydrogenation of ethane to ethylene (ODHE) has been studied in a catalytic membrane reactor (CMR) using a dense mixed ionic oxygen and electronic conducting perovskite membrane Ba0.5Sr0.5Co0.8Fe0.2O3-&. At 1080K, an ethylene yield of 66% was obtained with the bare membrane. After Pd cluster deposition, the ethylene yield reached 76% at 1050K. Ni cluster deposition led to a decrease of ethane conversion compared to the bare membrane without changing ethylene selectivity.

O-2 activation and hydrolysis of Salan rare-earth metal alkyl complexes

Salan ligated yttrium alkyl complex 1, (LY)-Y-1(CH2SiMe3)(THF) (Salan = L-1: [2-O-3,5-tBu(2)-C6H2CH2N(CH3) CH2](2)), was exposed to an oxygen/ nitrogen atmosphere to give a bimetallic alkoxide complex 4, [(LY)-Y-1(mu-OCH2SiMe3)](2). Whilst the lutetium counterparts 2 ((LLu)-Lu-1(CH2SiMe3)(THF)) and 3 ((LLu)-Lu-2(CH2SiMe3)(THF); L-2: [2-O-3-tBu-C6H2CH2N(CH3) CH2](2)) were hydrolysed with moist nitrogen to afford mixed hydroxy/silyloxy complexes 5 and 6 ([(LLu)-Lu-1,2(mu-OSiMe3)(mu-OH) LuL1,2]), respectively.
