Ultrafast Charge Transfer Processes Accompanying KLL Auger Decay in Aqueous KCl Solution

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- X-ray photoelectron and KLL Auger spectra were measured for the K+ and Cl- ions in aqueous KCl solution. While the XPS spectra of these ions have similar structures, both exhibiting only weak satellites near the main line, the Auger spectra differ dramatically. Contrary to the chloride case, a very strong extra peak was found in the Auger spectrum of K+ at the low kinetic energy side of the D1 state. Using the equivalent core model and ab initio calculations this spectral feature was assigned to electron transfer processes from solvent water molecules to the solvated cation. The observed charge transfer processes are suggested to play an important role in charge redistribution following single and multiple core-hole creation in atoms and molecules placed into environment.

Identification of Ga-interstitial defects in GaNyP1−y and AlxGa1−xNyP1−y

- Two Ga -interstitial (Gai) defects are identified by optically detected magnetic resonance as common grown-in defects in molecular beam epitaxial GaNyP1−y and AlxGa1−xNyP1−y. Characteristic hyperfine structure arising from spin interaction between an unpaired electron and a Ga nucleus is clearly resolved. The observed strong and nearly isotropic hyperfine interaction reveals an electron wave function of A1 symmetry that is highly localized at the Gai and thus a deep-level defect. Our analysis based on first-principles calculations suggests that these defects are complexes containing one Gai2+ .

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- A detailed account of the experimental results from optically detected magnetic resonance (ODMR) studies of grown-in defects in (Al)GaNP alloys, prepared by molecular beam epitaxy, is presented. The experimental procedure and an in-depth analysis by a spin Hamiltonian lead to the identification of two Gai defects (Gai-A and Gai-B). New information on the electronic properties of these defects and the recombination processes leading to the observation of the ODMR signals will be provided. These defects are deep-level defects. In conditions when the defect is directly involved in radiative recombination of the near-infrared photoluminescence band, the energy level of the Gai-B defect was estimated to be deeper than ~1.2 eV from either the conduction or valence band edge. In most cases, however, these defects act as nonradiative recombination centers, reducing the efficiency of light emission from the alloys. They can thus undermine the performance of potential photonic devices. High thermal stability is observed for these defects. ©2005 The American Physical Society.

Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- A detailed study of the impact of different growth conditions (i.e. ion bombardment, nitrogen flow and In content) on the defect formation in Ga(In)NP epilayers grown on GaP substrates by solid-source molecular beam epitaxy is performed. Reduced nitrogen ion bombardment during the growth is shown to significantly reduce formation of defects acting as competing recombination centers, such as a Ga interstitial defect and other unidentified defects revealed by optically detected magnetic resonance. Further, high nitrogen flow is found to be even more effective than the ion bombardment in introducing the defects. The incorporation of In by 5.1% is, on the other hand, found not to affect the introduction of defects. The results provide a useful insight into the formation mechanism of the defects that will hopefully shed light on a control of the defect introduction in the alloys by optimizing growth conditions.

Effect of nitrogen ion bombardment on defect formation and luminescence efficiency of GaNP epilayers grown by molecular-beam epitaxy

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Radiative efficiency of GaNP epilayers grown on GaP substrates by solid-source molecular beam epitaxy is significantly improved by reduced nitrogen ion bombardment during the growth. Based on the results of temperature-dependent photoluminescence (PL) and optically detected magnetic resonance studies (ODMR), the observed improvements are attributed to reduced formation of defects, such as a Ga interstitial related defect and an unidentified defect revealed by ODMR. We demonstrate that these defects act as competing recombination centers, which promote thermal quenching of the PL intensity and result in a substantial (34×) decrease in room-temperature PL intensity. © 2006 American Institute of Physics.
