Heteroepitaxial single crystalline films of GaP, GaAs, and InAs are grown on Si (100) and (111) substrates by laser vacuum epitaxy (LVE). Photoelectric properties as well as I–U and C–U characteristics and Hall mobilities in the LVE grown AIIIBv–Si heterojunctions are measured. High electron mobility (3000 cm2 V−1 s−1) and high efficiency (21%) are obtained for the InAs–Si heterojunction with a lattice mismatch of the components of about 11%. The band diagrams according to the experimental data are constructed. Carrier transport mechanisms and the specific features of the LVE process are discussed.
A study has been made of photoconductivity in Cdln ,S, induced by 1.17 eV photons from a O-switched neodymium laser. Both three-photon absorption, and two-photon absorption involving the emission of a phonon, have been investigated. The experimental data are in satisfactory agreement with the theory of multi-quantum transitions which takes into account the peculiarities of crystal zone structure.The investigation of competing multi-quantum transitions is a new method which permits one to obtain information on the fundamental optical constants of solids.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
