Abstract:Donor related states in Si-doped AlGaAs with Al compositions ranging from 0.30 to 0.59 were investigated by capacitance measurements. In addition to the stable Si-DX state, two metastable states of the silicon donor were observed. Of the two metastable states, the shallower one is attributed to the X-conduction band related effective mass state arising from substitutional silicon on the group III site. The deeper one is proposed to be related to a donor configuration different from both the substitutional conf… Show more
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.
