Electron paramagnetic resonance of Er3+ ions in aluminum nitride

Abstract: An electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectrum from Er3+ ions has been observed in a bulk single crystal of aluminum nitride (AlN). These Er3+ ions were introduced into the crystal during growth and had a concentration of approximately 2×1016 cm−3. The Er3+ EPR signal, monitored at 4.5 K, exhibits axial symmetry (the unique axis is parallel to the c axis in this wurtzite lattice) and shows well-resolved hyperfine splittings due to E167r nuclei. An absence of site splittings in the EPR angular dependence ind… Show more

“…6.1 eV allows for novel UV and deep-UV semiconductor optoelectronics. However, even in nominally pure AlN substrates significant optical absorption at photon energies below the band-gap of AlN is generally observed [1][2][3][4]. The resulting low transparency especially in the deep-UV wavelength range (210-300 nm, i.e., photon energies of 4.1-5.9 eV) has been identified as a potential obstacle regarding the development and application of AlN substrates in deep-UV optoelectronics and sensors in which the light is coupled out (or in, respectively) through the substrate.…”

“…Наиболее вероятным представляется нахождение иона Er 3+ в позиции Al 3+ . В пользу этого свидетельству-ют и результаты исследования ЭПР в монокристаллах, выращенных сублимацией [5]. В этой работе установ-лена аксиальная симметрия примесных центров, что строго указывает на то, что ионы Er 3+ занимают толь-ко одну кристаллографическую позицию, отражающую симметрию решетки.…”

“…Одним из таких перспективных материалов являет-ся AlN : Er 3+ (ширина запрещенной зоны E g ≈ 6.1 eV). В литературе представлены результаты исследований фотолюминесценции образцов AlN : Er 3+ в виде тон-ких пленок [1], поликристаллических керамик [2], в аморфном состоянии [3], катодолюминесценции моно-кристаллов 2H-AlN : Er 3+ [4], а также спектры ЭПР объемных монокристаллов AlN : Er 3+ [5]. Спектры оп-тического поглощения кристаллов AlN с примесью Er 3+ не были исследованы, по всей вероятности, из-за сложностей с внедрением в материал примеси в достаточно высокой концентрации.…”

“…Since the luminescence temperature quenching of Er 3þ -doped semiconductors strongly depends on the band gap of the host material and the III-nitride semiconductors (e.g. GaN, AlN) have wide band gap [3], the Er 3þ -doped III-nitride semiconductors have attracted considerable attention, and various spectroscopic studies have been made of these materials [6][7][8][9][10]. Recently, the electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectra of Er 3þ -doped AlN crystal was measured and its spin-Hamiltonian (SH) parameters (g factor g // , g ?…”
