Effect of polarization switching cycles on the dielectric response and Rayleigh constant in Pb0.4Sr0.6TiO3 thin films

Kui Li, Xianlin Dong, Denis R Émiens, Tao Li, Ying Chen, Genshui Wang

Pb0.4Sr0.6TiO3 thin films with good fatigue endurance were crystallized at low temperature compatible with the current semiconductor technology. The effect of polarization switching cycles on the ferroelectric properties, dielectric response, and Rayleigh constant in thin films were systematically…

Angle-dependent ray tracing simulations of reflections on pyramidal textures for silicon solar cells

Vincent Magnin, Joseph Harari, Mathieu Halbwax, S Bastide, D Cherfi, Jean-Pierre Vilcot

Pyramidal textures are commonly used to reduce reflections from silicon solar cells and improve light absorption by light trapping. They are generally modelled or characterized under normal incidence. In this work, a monolayer 3D ray tracing program taking into account the polarisation of light…

On the effect of δ-doping in self-switching diodes

Andreas Westlund, Ignacio Iñiguez-De-La-Torre, Per-Åke Nilsson, Tomas González, Javier Mateos, Paul Sangaré, Guillaume Ducournau, Christophe Gaquière, L. Desplanque, Xavier Wallart, Jan Grahn

Lowering the carrier concentration is presented as a way to considerably improve the performance of self-switching diode (SSD) detectors. A physics-based theoretical model was used to derive an expression for the responsivity of SSDs as a function of carrier concentration, mobility, and design…

Optimized V-shape design of GaN nanodiodes for the generation of Gunn oscillations

J.F. Millithaler, I. Iniguez-De-La-Torre, A. Iniguez-De-La-Torre, T. Gonz Alez, P. Sangaré, Guillaume Ducournau, Christophe Gaquière, J. Mateos

In this work, recent advances in the design of GaN planar Gunn diodes with asymmetric shape, socalled self-switching diodes, are presented. A particular geometry for the nanodiode is proposed, referred as V-shape, where the width of the channel is intentionally increased as approaching the anode.…

Current-voltage characteristics of (Mo/Au)/AlGaN/GaN/Si Schottky diodes

H. Mosbahi, M. Charfeddine, M. Gassoumi, Christophe Gaquière, M.A. Zaidi, H. Maaref

The AlGaN/GaN high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs) is a promising candidate for microwave applications due to its high power and high temperature. owing to their large and direct band gap, as well as favorable transport properties. Moreover, III-V nitrides could be suitable for the emitters…

Dirac cones, topological edge states, and nontrivial flat bands in two-dimensional semiconductors with a honeycomb nanogeometry

Efterpi Kalesaki, Christophe Delerue, Cristiane Morais Smith, Wouter Beugeling, Guy Allan, Daniel Vanmaekelbergh

We study theoretically two-dimensional single-crystalline sheets of semiconductors that form a honeycomb lattice with a period below 10 nm. These systems could combine the usual semiconductor properties with Dirac bands. Using atomistic tight-binding calculations, we show that both the atomic…

Dispersion properties and low infrared optical losses in epitaxial AlN on sapphire substrate in the visible and infrared range

Ali Soltani, Arnaud Stolz, Joël Charrier, Maghnia Mattalah, Jean-Claude Gerbedoen, Hassan Ali Barkad, Vincent Mortet, Michel Rousseau, Nour Eddine Bourzgui, Ali Benmoussa, Jean-Claude de Jaeger

Optical waveguiding properties of a thick wurtzite aluminum nitride highly [002]-textured hetero-epitaxial film on (001) basal plane of sapphire substrate are studied. The physical properties of the film are determined by X-ray diffraction, atomic force microscopy, microRaman, and photocurrent…
