III-V Semiconducting Nitrides Energy Gap under Pressure

100%
EN
In this paper we present overview of our recent experimental and theoretical results concerning electronic band structure of III-V nitrides under pressure. It is shown here that the pressure coefficients of the direct gap for studied nitrides are surprisingly small. To describe tendency in changes of the gap with pressure we use a simple empirical relation.

The surface electronic structure of the Cd_{1-x}Fe_{x}Se and Cd_{1-x}Fe_{x}Τe crystals with x = 0 and x = 0.03 has been studied by Surface Photovoltage Spectroscopy (SPS). The change of surface photovoltage was observed due to photo-excitation of the electrons from the deep donor state Fe 3d to conduction band edge. This gave possibility to determine energy position of the Fe 3d state at 0.64 and 0.15 eV over the top of the valence band for CdSe and CdTe, respectively.

The influence of addition of Zn on band parameters of Zn_{x}Cd_{y}Hg_{1-x-y}Te solid solution at different temperatures (4.2-200 K) was investigated. The cyclotron resonance at 4.2 K and magnetophonon reso­nance at 77-200 K were used to determine band structure parameters. The temperature dependence of band structure parameters (energy gap, effec­tive mass of electron) for the composition of series of epilayers (x varied in 0.08-0.20 range and y - 0.07-0.12) was obtained. It is found that band struc­ture parameters for some compositions (for example x = 0.17, y = 0.08) are almost independent from temperature and equal: γ₁^{L}= 19.55, γ₂^{L} = γ₃^{L} = 8.5, K^{L} = 6.48, F = -0.5, E_{g} = 0.35 eV, E_{p} = 17.9 eV. The effective mass of electrons was found to be greater with addition of Zn while the effective mass of heavy holes is left unchanged.

Photovoltaic spectra of Pb_{1-x}Mn_{x}Se homojunctions have been measured in the infrared spectral region within the temperature range 15-300 K. The junctions have been formed by cadmium diffusion into the p-type Pb_{1-x}Mn_{x}Se crystals with manganese content 0 ≤ x ≤ 0.08. From the positions of the photovoltaic maxima the energy band gap of the diode material has been determined. A phenomenological expression describing the energy band gap of Pb_{1-x}Mn_{x}Se as a function of temperature and crystal composition has been proposed. In diodes containing high manganese content x = 0.06 and x = 0.08 a second photovoltaic maximum caused by indirect optical transitions between the main conduction band and the secondary valence band located along the ∑-axis of the Brillouin zone has been observed.

The effect of hydrostatic pressure on direct gap and refractive index of GaN is investigated up to 5.5 GPa. Band structure of GaN is calculated by Linear Muffin-Tin Orbitals (LMTO) method for different values of pressure. Resulting pressure coefficient of the main gap and of the refractive index are in a good agreement with the experimental ones.

Resonant photoemission experiments were carried out in order to reveal the contributions of partly filled Eu 4f^{7} and Gd 4f^{7} shells to the valence bands of Pb_{0.95}Eu_{0.05}S and Pb_{0.95}Gd_{0.05}S crystals. The coupling between these orbitals and the host electronic states is discussed.

Energy band structure of AlAs and GaAs is analyzed in terms of the energy structure of the constituent atoms. Conduction band wave functions are projected on s-, p-, and d-symmetry atomic orbitals. The resulting information is combined with the eigenenergies of Al and Ga atoms, in order to-discuss the character of the band gaps, and the sign of deformation potentials.

EN
Self-consistent linear muffin-tin orbital method is used to calculate the band structure of ZnS/ZnSe (001) strained-layer superlattice and investigate the influence of hydrostatic pressure on the valence band offset (VBO). Three different strain modes corresponding to various values of the relative thicknesses of both materials are considered. A I → II type conversion associated with the conduction-band crossover between the ZnSe well and ZnS barrier layers is found in agreement with recent experimental data.

X-ray bremsstrahlung isochromat of amorphous SiO_{2} deposited on Si crystal was measured in an energy range up to 250 eV above the threshold. Extended X-ray bremsstrahlung isochromat he structure (EXBIFS) was observed up to 150 eV for SiO_{2} studied. The Fourier transform of EXBIFS showed two peaks originated from first and second neighbors around silicon and oxygen ions. Model calculations of EXBIFS of amorphous SiO_{2} were performed in terms of single scattering of spherical waves and compared with experimental results.

The temperature dependence of the band gap for HgCdTe and HgCdMnTe has been experimentally investigated in the temperature range of 7-250 K. The distinct nonlinear dependence has been observed in the low temperature range. It was shown that the lattice dilatation contribution calculated for HgCdTe is a significant part (about 30%) of the total temperature shift of the energy gap.

Photovoltaic spectra of PbTe p-n junction have been measured in the infrared spectral region in the temperature range of 8-260 K. The p-n junctions have been formed by cadmium diffusion into the p-type PbTe crystals. From the positions of the photovoltaic maxima the energy gap of the diode material has been determined. In the presence of a magnetic field up to 7 T, a pronounced oscillatory behavior of the photovoltage was observed in the Faraday and Voigt configurations. Experiments were performed as a function of the magnetic field intensity at a constant wavelength of the incident light. The energy of the interband magnetooptical transitions between the Landau levels in PbTe was determined and compared with the theoretical model of Adler, describing the energy band structure for the IV-VI compounds.

EN
The first magnetooptical studies comprising magnetoreflection, magnetoabsorption and Faraday rotation of CdTe-rich Hg_{1-x-y}Cd_{x}Mn_{y}Te are reported. The drastic disappearing of excitonic structure, for already very small Hg content, has been observed. The exchange parameters close to those for CdMnTe have been found.

The reflectivity and X-ray absorption near-edge structure spectra for CdTe were calculated with the inclusion of the transition matrix elements from band structure obtained within self-consistent, relativistic linear muffin tin orbital method. The results were compared with experimental data for the case of CdTe and with our previous calculations.

Photovoltaic effect of the ZnTe-Cd_{1-x}Mn_{x}Te_{1-y}Se_{y} heterojunctions, prepared by vapor-transport epitaxy of ZnTe on Cd_{1-x}Mn_{x}Te_{1-y}Se_{y} substrate was studied. The photovoltaic measurements were carried out over the temperature range from 12 K to 300 K and in the magnetic field up to 6 T. In the magnetic field, maximum of the sensitivity corresponding to the energy of the forbidden gap of Cd_{1-x}Mn_{x}Te_{1-y}Se_{y} substrate splits into two components for σ^{+} and σ¯ circular polarizations of incident light. This phenomenon was ascribed to the exchange interaction of the magnetic moments of Mn^{++} ions with band electrons. From the value of the splitting energy the exchange integral N_{0}(α-β) was determined to be 1.15 ± 0.2 eV.

The first experimental evidence of the magnetic quantum oscillation in the photovoltaic effect of Pb_{1-x}Mn_{x}Se p-n junctions is reported. The p-n junctions were obtained in Pb_{1-x}MnxSe crystals with manganese content, 0 ≤ x ≤ 0.08 by introducing Cd donors by diffusion. Measurements were per formed between 5-85 K and in the presence of the magnetic field 0-7 T in the Faraday and Voigt configurations of the incident infrared radiation of various photon energies in the vicinity of the energy gap of a Pb_{1-x}Mn_{x}Se. Strong oscillatory behavior of the photovoltage was observed as a function of the magnetic field intensity at a constant wavelength of the incident light. Using the model of Adler of the energy band structure modified by the exchange terms, and after identification of the initial and final states of the transitions, we derive the band parameters of the Pb_{1-x}Mn_{x}Se crystals.

Occupied and unoccupied electron states of amorphous silicon dioxide film supported on Si crystal are studied by using X-ray photoemission and, for the first time, X-ray inverse photoemission (X-ray bremsstrahlung isochromat method). A special care was undertaken to minimize decomposition of silicon oxide during X-ray bremsstrahlung measurements. The experimental spectra are compared with theoretical band structure calculations for amorphous SiO_{2} from the literature and good overall agreement is found.

At temperatures lower than 200 K the photomemory effect has been observed in ZnTe-Cd_{1-x}Mn_{x}Te_{1-y}Se_{y} heterojunctions. The persistent photoconductivity can be achieved either by illumination from an external light source or by a self-absorption of the electroluminescence radiation when a voltage of about 10 V for a few seconds is applied to the diode. Current-voltage characteristics are of the form I~ V^{m}. The capacitance and electroluminescence measurements show that the photomemory effect in ZnTe-Cd_{1-x}Mn_{x} Te_{1-y}Se_{y} heterojunctions can be caused by the bistable nature of the In dopant in the Cd_{1-x}Mn_{x}Te_{1-y}Se_{y} substrate. In the high resistivity interface layer and the substrate material indium forms centers similar to DX-like centers in Zn_{x}Cd_{1-x}Te and Cd_{1-x}Mn_{x}Te.
