- The critical impurity concentration N-c of the metal-nonmetal (MNM) transition for the cubic GaN, InN and AIN systems. is calculated using the following two different criteria: vanishing of the donor binding energy and the crossing point between the energies in the metallic and insulating phases. A dielectric function model with a Lorentz-Lorenz correction is used for the insulating phase. The InN presents an order of magnitude increase in N-c as compared to the other two systems. The electrical resistivity of the Si-donor system GaN is investigated theoretically and experimentally from room temperature down to 10K. It presents a metallic character above a certain high impurity concentration identified as N-c. The samples were grown by plasma assisted molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) on GaAs (0 0 1) substrate. The model calculation is carried out from a recently proposed generalized Drude approach (GDA) presenting a very good estimation for the metallic region. The band-gap shift (BGS) of Si-doped GaN has also been investigated above the MNM transition where this shift is observed. Theoretical and experimental results have a rough agreement in a range of impurity concentration of interest.

Optical properties of 4H-SiC

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The optical band gap energy and the dielectric functions of n-type 4H-SiC have been investigated experimentally by transmission spectroscopy and spectroscopic ellipsometry and theoretically by an ab initio full-potential linear muffin-tin-orbital method. We present the real and imaginary parts of the dielectric functions, resolved into the transverse and longitudinal photon moment a, and we show that the anisotropy is small in 4H-SiC. The measurements and the calculations fall closely together in a wide range of energies.

Electrical resistivity, MNM transition and band-gap narrowing of cubic GaN : Si
- 2002

In: Microelectronics Journal. - 0026-2692. ; 33:4, s. 365-369
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The electrical resistivity of the Si-donor cubic GaN is investigated theoretically at low temperature. The critical impurity concentration, N-c, for the metal-nonmetal transition is estimated in three different ways: from using the generalized Drude approach (GDA) for the resistivity; from the vanishing of the chemical potential calculated using the dielectric function model with a Lorentz-Lorenz correction; from finding the crossing point between the energy in the insulating and metallic states. The bandgap narrowing (BGN) has been determined theoretically and experimentally above the MNM transition, The experimental data have been obtained with photoluminescence measurements. Theoretical and experimental results are in rough agreement in the range of impurity concentration of interest.

Electronic and optical properties of lead iodide
- 2002
-
In: Journal of Applied Physics. - : AIP Publishing. - 0021-8979 .- 1089-7550. ; 92:12, s. 7219-7224

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The electronic properties and the optical absorption of lead iodide (PbI2) have been investigated experimentally by means of optical absorption and spectroscopic ellipsometry, and theoretically by a full-potential linear muffin-tin-orbital method. PbI2 has been recognized as a very promising detector material with a large technological applicability. Its band-gap energy as a function of temperature has also been measured by optical absorption. The temperature dependence has been fitted by two different relations, and a discussion of these fittings is given.

Electrical resistivity of acceptor carbon in GaAs
- 2004
-
In: Journal of Applied Physics. - : AIP Publishing. - 0021-8979 .- 1089-7550. ; 95:5, s. 2532-2535
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The electrical resistivity was investigated from room temperature down to 1.7 K for the shallow acceptor carbon in GaAs prepared by ion implantation with impurity concentrations between 10(17) and 10(19) cm(-3). Good agreement was obtained between the measured resistivities and resistivities calculated by a generalized Drude approach at similar temperatures and doping concentrations. The critical impurity concentration for the metal-nonmetal transition was found to be about 10(18) cm(-3).

-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The optical properties of the oxide compounds PbO and SnO2 have been investigated experimentally by transmission spectroscopy measurements and theoretically by a full-potential linearized augmented plane wave (FPLAPW) method. The dielectric functions of the rutile TiO2 has also been calculated. The calculated band-gap energies as well as the optical absorption were found to be in a very good qualitatively agreement with the experimental results.
