MBE Growth of High Electron Mobility InP Epilayers

The molecular beam epitaxial growth of high quality epilayers on （100） InP substrate using a valve phosphorous cracker cell over a wide range of P/In BEP ratio （2.0-7.0） and growth rate （0.437 and 0. 791μm/h）. Experimental results show that electrical properties exhibit a pronounced dependence on growth parameters,which are growth rate, P/In BEP ratio, cracker zone temperature, and growth temperature. The parameters have been optimized carefully via the results of Hall measurements. For a typical sample, 77K electron mobility of 4.57 × 10^4 cm^2/（V · s） and electron concentration of 1.55×10^15 cm^-3 have been achieved with an epilayer thickness of 2.35μm at a growth temperature of 370℃ by using a cracking zone temperature of 850℃.

A study on GaP/Si heterostructures grown by GS-MBE

GaP/Si is a promoting heterostructure for Si-based optoelectronic devices since lattice constants of GaP and Si are so closed that they can match with each other. GaP was successfully grow on (100) Si subtracts by Gas-Source Molecular Bean Epitaxy (GS-MBE) in the study. The GaP/Si heterostructure was characterized by X-ray double crystal diffraction, Anger electron spectrograph, X-ray photonic spectrograph and photoluminescence (PL) measurements. The results showed that the epitaxial GaP layers are single crystalline, in which a parallel to and a (perpendicular to)are 0.54322 and 0.54625 nm, respectively. The peaks in PL spectra of GaP epitaxial layer grown on Si are 650, 627 and 640 nm, respectively. The study demonstrated that GaP/Si is a kind of lattice matched heterostructures and will be a promoting materials for future integrated photonics.

Dynamics of excited m-dichlorobenzene

Dynamics of excited m-dichlorobenzene is investigated in real time by femtosecond pump-probe method, combined with time-of-flight mass spectrometric detection in a supersonic molecular beam. The yields of the parent ion and daughter ion C6H4CI+ are examined as a function of the delay between the 270 and 810 nm femtosecond laser pulses, respectively. The lifetime of the first singlet excited state S-1 of m-dichlorobenzene is measured. The origin of this daughter ion C6H4CI+ is discussed. The ladder mechanism is proposed to form the fragment ion. In addition, our experimental results exhibit a rapid damped sinusoidal oscillation over intermediate time delays, which is due to quantum beat effects.

Ambipolar organic heterojunction transistors with various p-type semiconductors

Ambipolar transport has been realized in organic heterojunction transistors with metal phthalocyanines, phenanthrene-based conjugated oligomers as the first semiconductors and copper-hexadecafluoro-phthalocyanine as the second semiconductor. The electron and hole mobilities of ambipolar devices with rod-like molecules were comparable to the corresponding single component devices, while the carrier mobility of ambipolar devices with disk-like molecules was much lower than the corresponding single component devices.

Photodissociation of 1-bromo-2-chloroethane at 266 nm

The photodissociation of CH2BrCH2Cl at 266 nm has been investigated on the universal crossed molecular beam machine. The primary dissociation step leads exclusively to the formation of CH2CH2Cl radicals and Br atoms in the electronic ground state as well as in the spin-orbit excited state, with a branching ratio 2 +/- 1:8 +/- 1. Photofragment total c.m. translational energy distribution P(E-t) has been obtained and about 64% of the available energy is partitioned into translational energy for Br channel and about 28.5% of the available energy is partitioned into translational energy for Br* channel. The anisotropy parameters are determined to be beta(Br*) = 0.8 +/- 0.2 and beta(Br) = -0.6 +/- 0.2, respectively. Some CH2CH2Cl radicals with large internal excitation (corresponding to formation of ground state Br channel) may undergo secondary dissociation to form CH2CH2 +/- Cl. The experimental results are discussed in terms of a model that involves the initial excitation of two repulsive electronic states: one from an parallel transition to the (3)Q(0) state, and the other from a perpendicular transition to the (3)Q(1), (1)Q states.

Photofragment translational spectroscopy of p-bromotoluene at 266 nm

Photodissociation of p-bromotoluene at 266 nm has been investigated on the universal crossed molecular beam machine, and translational energy distribution P(E-t) as well as the anisotropy parameter beta have been obtained. Photofragment translational energy distribution P(E-t) reveals that similar to 38.5% of the available energy is partitioned into translational energy. The anisotropy parameter beta is determined to be -0.4 +/- 0.2. From P(E-t) and beta, we deduce that p-bromotoluene photodissociation is a fast process and the perpendicular transition plays a central role at this wavelength. The possible mechanism has been discussed and comparison of p-bromotoluene with bromobenzene, o-bromotoluene has also been made. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

Photodissociation of bromobenzene at 266 nm

The photodissociation of C6H5Br at 266 nm has been investigated on the universal crossed molecular beam machine, and time-of-flight spectra as well as the angular distribution of Br atom have been measured. Photofragment translational energy distribution P(E-t) reveals that about 47% of the available energy is partitioned into translational energy. The anisotropy parameter beta at this wavelength is -0.7+/-0.2. From P(E-t) and beta, we deduce that C6H5Br photodissociation is a fast process and the transition dipole moment is almost perpendicular to the C-Br bond. Ab initio calculations have been performed, and the calculated results show that the geometry of the first excited state of bromobenzene has changed apparently compared with that of the ground state. Two kinds of possible fast dissociation mechanism have also been proposed. (C) 1999 American Institute of Physics. [S0021-9606(99)01206-4].

Photofragment translational spectroscopy of iodobenzene at 266 nm

The photofragmentation of C6H5I at 266 nn is investigated on the universal crossed molecular beam ma chine, and the translational spectroscopy as well as the angular distribution of I atom is measured. The results reveal that under the laser intensity of 10(R) W/cm(2) the single-photon dissociation competes with multi-photon processes. In single-photon dissociation the anisotropy parameter beta is 0.4 and the average translational energy is only 1.04 kcal/mol, which indicates that this process is a slow predissociation. In two-photon photofragmentation the average translational energy is 51.64 kcal/mol, which accounts for about 35% of the available energy. Another photofragmentation channel is even more faster, whose peak in time-of-flight spectra corresponds to four or five photon absorptions. The branching ratio of these three channels is determined to he about 3:3:4.

Photodissociation of o-bromotoluene at 266 nm

The photodissociation of o-bromotoluene at 266 nm has been investigated using the universal crossed laser-molecular beam technique. The angle-resolved time-of-flight (TOF) spectra corresponding to Br photofragment are measured at different lab angles. The observed translational energy distribution and anisotropy parameters of the Br photofragment indicate that o-bromotoluene dissociates via two channels. In the first channel, the anisotropy parameter beta is determined to be 0.5 +/- 0.2 and the average translational energy is only 9% of the available energy. In the other photofragmentation channel, beta is determined to be - 0.4 +/- 0.2 and 44% of the available energy is assigned to translational energy. Possible mechanisms are discussed.

Photodissociation of o-dichlorobenzene at 266 nm

The photodissociation o-dichlorobenzene at 266 nm has been investigated using the universal crossed molecular beam technique. Photofragment translational energy distribution P(E-t) and angular distribution of photofragments have been obtained and it is estimated that 23% of the available energy is assigned to translational energy. The anisotropy parameter is determined to be 0.4. From P(E-t) and beta we deduce that o-C6H4Cl2 photodissociation is a slow process. Ab initio calculation has been performed and it shows that the parent molecule has a larger geometry deformation in its excited states comparing with that of the ground state. The possible dissociation mechanism has also been proposed. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

Real-time investigation of the photodissociation dynamics of p-chlorotoluene and p-dichlorobenzene

De-excited dynamics of p-chlorotoluene and p-dichlorobenzene have been investigated by the femtosecond pump-probe method in a supersonic molecular beam. The yields of the parent ion and daughter ion are examined as a function of the delay time between the pump and probe laser pulses. The lifetime constants of excited p-chlorotoluene and p-dichlorobenzene are determined. Possible de-excitation mechanisms are suggested that the initially excited S-1 state is predissociative via the repulsive triplet state. The substituent effects of additional chlorine atom and methyl group are discussed. Moreover, for the first time, we observe a novel quantum beat oscillation in p-dichlorobenzene.

A Breakdown Criterion of Free Molecular Flows and an Optimum Analysis of EBPVD

Two important issues in electron beam physical vapor deposition (EBPVD) are addressed. The first issue is a validity condition of the classical cosine law widely used in the engineering context. This requires a breakdown criterion of the free molecular assumption on which the cosine law is established. Using the analytical solution of free molecular effusion flow, the number of collisions (N-c) for a particle moving from an evaporative source to a substrate is estimated that is proven inversely proportional to the local Knudsen number at the evaporation surface. N-c = 1 is adopted as a breakdown criterion of the free molecular assumption, and it is verified by experimental data and DSMC results. The second issue is how to realize the uniform distributions of thickness and component over a large-area thin film. Our analysis shows that at relatively low evaporation rates the goal is easy achieved through arranging the evaporative source positions properly and rotating the substrate.
