Titanium dioxide (TiO 2 ) thin films having different thicknesses of 220, 260, and 300 nm were deposited onto well-cleaned n-type silicon substrates by reactive DC magnetron sputtering and annealed in the range of 200-1000 • C in steps of 200 • C. The effects of thermal annealing and thickness variation on the crystalline quality and surface morphology of the films were investigated by X-ray diffraction and atomic force microscopy measurements. It was found that the film quality and morphology depend on the annealing temperature. TiO 2 films exhibit a grain-like surface morphology. The root-mean-square roughness and grain size on the surface increase as a result of increasing film thickness.
In this study, two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) mobility analysis of AlN/GaN and InAlN/GaN structures with ultrathin barrier layers by metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) has been performed with Hall effect measurements which is carried out under temperature from 15 to 350 K and a single magnetic field of 0.5 T. As a result of the scattering analysis made with Matthiessen's rule, it is shown that while the interface roughness scattering mechanism is dominated on the 2DEG mobility at low temperatures, the 2DEG mobility has been dominated by the polar optical phonon-scattering mechanism at high temperatures. Also, the acoustic phonon-scattering mechanism is effective on the 2DEG mobility at middle temperature. Furthermore, the interface and the quantum well parameters such as deformation potential, quantum well width, and correlation length of the interface are determined for each. As well as experimental measurements, the conduction band energy diagrams of the studied samples have been calculated using one-dimensional (1D) self-consistent Schrödinger-Poisson equations. A 2D quasitriangular quantum well formation has been shown for each studied samples. 2DEG probability density of samples has been investigated.
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.
