Observation of Burstein-Moss shift in heavily copper-doped CaS:Cu phosphor

Enhanced photocatalytic properties of graphene oxide/ZnO nanohybrid by Mg dopants

“…The replacement of the Zn site of ZnO lattice by Mg results in the blue-shift of the ultraviolet emission peak, extending the band gap of ZnO towards the deep UV region [35,36]. Moreover, the blue-shift of ultraviolet emission peak possibly originates from the Moss-Burstein effect, representing the upward movement of Fermi level by doping Mg [37]. Because of the much larger sizes of graphene oxide/Zn 1 −x Mg x O than the exciton Bohr radius of 1.8 nm, it is believed that the blue-shift of green emission peak resulted from Mg replacing the zinc site of ZnO lattice instead of originating from quantum confinement effects.…”

LnxPb1−xTe(Ln:Nd3+,Yb3+) nanomaterials: Synthesis, characterization, physical properties, and optical properties

“…The energy scale was calibrated with the C 1s peak of the carbon contamination at 286.22 eV. The peak near 540 eV is due to the specific species such as carbonate, adsorbed O 2 , and H 2 O [25]. Fig.…”

Burstein Moss effect in nanocrystalline CaS : Ce

“…From figure 4 it is clear that as the impurity concentration increases there is shift in the absorption edge towards higher energy. The possible reason for the blue shift may be Burstein Moss effect (Kim et al 1992). With increase in the amount of impurity added, excess carriers are supplied by the impurity leading to blue shift in the absorption spectrum (Alexei et al 2005;Shen et al 2005;Zaera et al 2008).…”
