Raman scattering of nanocrystalline silicon embedded in SiO2 matrix is systematically investigated. It is found that the Raman spectra can be well fitted by 5 Lorentzian lines in the Raman shift range of 100-600 cm(-1). The two-phonon scattering is also observed in the range of 600-1100 cm(-1) The experimental results indicate that the silicon crystallites in the films consist of nanocrystalline phase and amorphous phase; both can contribute to the Raman scattering. Besides the red-shift of the first order optical phonon modes with the decreasing size of silicon nanocrystallites, we have also found an enhancement effect on the second order Raman scattering, and the size effect on their Raman shift.

Electron mobility limited by nitrogen vacancy scattering was taken into account to evaluate the quality of n-type GaN grown by metal-organic vapor phase epitaxy. The nitrogen vacancy scattering potential used for our mobility calculation has to satisfy two requirements: such potential is (1) spatially short range, and (2) finite and not divergent at the vacancy core. A square-well potential was adopted to calculate the mobility, because it satisfies not only these two requirements, but also simplifies the calculation. As a result, the estimated mobility shows a T-1/2 temperature dependence, and is very sensitive to the potential well width. After introducing the nitrogen vacancy scattering, we obtained the best fitting between the calculated and experimental results for our high quality sample, and it was found that the measured mobility is dominated by ion impurity and dislocation scatterings at the low temperatures, but dominated by optical phonon and nitrogen vacancy scatterings at the high temperatures.

The room temperature Raman spectra of the Ga(0.5)Al(0.5)AS and the In0.52Al0.48As epilayer grown on [n11]-oriented substrates were measured in various back scatterng geometries, The relative intensity of TO modes and LO modes in those samples shows a regular Variation with differently oriented substrates in the experiments. By comparing experimental data with Raman scattering selection rules for the zincblende structure epilayer grown on [n11]-oriented substrates, it was found that the present calculations are in good agreement with the experimental results.

Mossbauer spectra for Fe atoms in the series of R3Fe29-xVx (R = Y, Ce, Nd, Sm, Gd, Tb, and Dy) compounds were collected at 4.2 K. The ratio of 14.5 T/mu(B) between the average hyperfine field B-hf and the average Fe magnetic moment mu(Fe)(MS), obtained from our data, in Y3Fe29-xVx is in agreement with that deduced from the RxTy alloys by Gubbens et al. The average Fe magnetic moments mu(Fe)(MS) in these compounds at 4.2 K, deduced from our Mossbauer spectroscopic studies, are in accord with the results of magnetization measurement. The average hyperfine field of the Fe sites for R3Fe29-xVx at 4.2 K increases with increasing values of the rare earth effective spin (g(J) - 1) J, which indicates that there exists a transferred spin polarization induced by the neighboring rare earth atom.

The room temperature Raman spectra of the hexagonal GaN epilayer grown on [111]- oriented MgAl2O4 substrate were measured in various backscattering and right angle scattering geometries. All of the symmetry-allowed optical phonon modes were observed except the E-2 (low frequency) mode. The quasitransverse and quasilongitudinal modes were also observed in the x(zx)z and x(yy)z configurations, which are the mixed modes of pure transverse and longitudinal modes with A(1) and E-1 symmetry, respectively.

Fe-57 Mossbauer spectra for the Fe atoms in the R3Fe29-xTx (R=Y, Ce, Nd, Sm, Gd, Tb, Dy; T=V, Cr) compounds were collected at 4.2 K. The analysis of Mossbauer spectra was based on the results of magnetization and neutron powder diffraction measurements. The average Fe magnetic moments at 4.2 K, deduced from our data, are in accord with magnetization measurements. The average hyperfine field of Tb3Fe29-xCrx (x=1.0, 1.5, 2.0, and 3.0) decreases with increasing Cr concentration, which is also in accordance with the variation of the average Fe magnetic moment in the Tb3Fe29-xCrx compounds.

The room-temperature Raman scattering studies of longitudinal optic phonons in AlAs/AlxGa1-xAs and GaAs/AlxGa1-xAs short-period superlattices with different layer thicknesses were reported. The AlAs LO modes confined in AlAs layers and GaAs-like LO modes confined in AlxGa1-xAs layers were observed in AlAs/AlxGa1-xAs superlattices under off-resonance conditions. And the GaAs LO modes confined in GaAs layers and AlAs-like LO modes confined in AlxGa1-xAs layers were observed in GaAs/AlxGa1-xAs superlattices. In addition, the AlAs interface mode in AlAs/AlxGa1-xAs was also observed under near-resonance conditions. Based on the linear chain mode, the frequencies of confined LO modes measured by Raman scattering were unfolded according to q=m/(n+1)(2 pi/a(0)) by which the dispersion curves of AlAs-like and GaAs-like LO phonons in AlxGa1-xAs mixed crystal were obtained.

We performed Raman scattering investigations on low-temperature-grown (LTG) films of GaAs that had been lifted off the GaAs substrate. The Raman measurements unambiguously show the effects of excess arsenic on phonon scattering from LTG films of GaAs. The larger downwards shift of the LO phonon frequency for unannealed free-standing films is explained by invoking the elimination of mismatch strain. The Raman signal due to precipitates of elemental arsenic in the annealed GaAs : As films is determined. It is confirmed that the arsenic clusters formed by rapid thermal annealing are mainly amorphous, giving rise a broad Raman peak in the range 180-260 cm(-1).

The microstructure, hydrogen bonding configurations and hydrogen content of high quality and stable hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) films prepared by a simple ''uninterrupted growth/annealing" plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition technique have been investigated by Raman scattering and infrared absorption spectroscopy. The high stability a-Si:H films contain small amounts of a microcrystalline phase and not less hydrogen (10-16 at. %), particularly, the clustered phase hydrogen, Besides, the hydrogen distribution is very inhomogeneous. Some of these results are substantially distinct from those of conventional device-quality n-Si:H film or stable cr-Si:H films prepared by the other techniques examined to date. The stability of n-Si:H films appears to have no direct correlation with the hydrogen content or the clustered phase hydrogen concentration. The ideal n-Si:H network with high stability and low defect density is perhaps not homogeneous. (C) 1998 American Institute of Physics.

We analyze low-temperature Raman and photoluminescence spectra of MBE-grown GaN layers on sapphire. Strong and sharp Raman peaks are observed in the low frequency region. These peaks, which are enhanced by excitation in resonance with yellow luminescence transitions, are attributed to electronic transitions related to shallow donor levels in hexagonal GaN. It is proposed that a low frequency Raman peak at 11.7 meV is caused by a pseudo-local vibration mode related to defects involved in yellow luminescence transitions. The dependence of the photoluminescence spectra on temperature gives additional information about the residual impurities in these GaN layers.

Raman scattering studies were reported of In1-x-yGaxAlyAs/InP lattice matched quaternary alloys. The quaternary alloys a.ere grown on (100) oriented InP substrates by MBE method. The composition and intensity dependence of optical phonon mode frequencies show that the quaternary alloys exhibit three-mode behavior, i.e. InAs-like, GaAs-like and AlAs-like modes. Polarization analysis of the Raman spectra shows that the LO phonon modes are Raman active in the depolarized configuration and Raman inactive in the polarized configuration. TO phonon modes were also observed due to disorder effects, resulting in the asymmetrical shapes of the Raman peaks of the optical phonons.

We have investigated the Raman scattering and the photoluminescence (PL) of ZnSxTe1-x mixed crystals grown by MBE, covering the entire composition range (0 less than or equal to x < 1). The results of Raman studies show that the ZnSxTe1-x mixed crystals display two-mode behaviour. In addition, photoluminescence spectra obtained in backscattering and edge-emission geometries, reflectivity spectra and the: temperature dependence of the photoluminescence of ZnSxTe1-x have been employed to find out the origin of PL emissions in ZnSxTe1-x with different x values. The results indicate that emission bands, for the samples with small x values, can be related to the band gap transitions or a shallow-level emission centre, while as x approaches 1, they are designated to strong radiative recombination of Te isoelectronic centres (IECs).

Raman scattering measurements have been performed in diluted magnetic semiconductor Ga1-xMnxAs prepared by Mn-ion implantation, deposition, and post-annealing technique. It is found that the Raman spectrum measured from the implanted surface of the sample shows some new weak modes in addition to the GaAs-like modes which are observed from the unimplanted surface. The new vibrational modes observed are assigned to MnAs-like modes. The coupled LO-phonon plasmon mode, and Mn and As related vibrational modes caused by Mn-ion implantation, deposition, and post-annealing are also observed. Furthermore, the GaAs-like modes are found to be shifted by approximately 4 cm(-1) in the lower frequency side, compared with those observed from the unimplanted surface.

Raman scattering measurements have been carried out on ferromagnetic semiconductor Ga1-xMnxN prepared by Mn-ion implantation and post annealing. The Raman results obtained from the annealed and un-annealed Ga1-xMnxN demonstrate that crystalline quality has been improved in Ga1-xMnxN after annealing. Some new vibrational modes in addition to GaN-like modes are found in the Raman spectra measured from the Ga1-xMnxN where the GaN-like modes are found to be shifted in the higher frequency side than those measured from the bulk GaN. A new vibrational mode observed is assigned to MnN-like mode. Other new phonon modes observed are assigned to disorder-activated modes and Mn-related vibrational modes caused by Mn-ion implantation and post-annealing. (c) 2006 Elsevier Ltd.

Boron-doped (B-doped) silicon nanowires (SiNWS) have been prepared and characterized by Raman scattering and photoluminescence (PL). B-doped SiNWS were grown by plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD), using diborane (B2H6) as the dopant gas. Raman spectra show a band at 480cm(-1),which is attributed to amorphous silicon. Photoluminescence at room temperature exhibits three distinct emission peaks at 1.34ev, 1.42ev, 1.47ev. Possible reason for these is suggested.
