Abstract Tackling the interfacial loss in emerged perovskite‐based solar cells (PSCs) to address synchronously carrier dynamics and environmental stability, has been of fundamental viable importance, while technological hurdles remain not only creating such mediator, but subsequent embedding active layer. This article reports a strategy hydrophobic fluorinated‐gold‐clusters (FGCs) for highly efficient stable PSCs. The p‐type semiconducting feature enables FGC mediator improve by reducing...
N-Schottky and p+–n GaN junctions are currently used for different technologies. A comparison of the deep levels found throughout entire band gap n-GaN grown by metal-organic chemical vapor deposition under both configurations is presented.

Schottky photodiodes based on Au-ZnMgO/sapphire are demonstrated covering the spectral region from 3.35 to 3.48 eV, with UV/VIS rejection ratios up ∼105 and responsivities as high 185 A/W. Both ratio responsivity shown be largely enhanced by presence of an internal gain mechanism, which compensated films become highly conductive a result illumination. This causes large increase in tunnel current through barrier, yielding gains that function incident photon flux.

The effect of growth regime on the deep level spectrum n-GaN using molecular-beam epitaxy (MBE) was investigated. As Ga/N flux ratio decreased towards Ga-lean conditions, concentration two acceptor-like levels, at Ec−3.04 and 3.28 eV, increased from 1015 to 1016 cm−3 causing carrier compensation in these films. Thus, traps behaved as dominant compensating centers MBE n-GaN. Furthermore, increase trap also strongly correlated with degradation both surface morphology bulk electron mobility...
The origin of the modified optical properties InAs/GaAs quantum dots (QD) capped with a thin GaAs1−xSbx layer is analyzed in terms band structure. To do so, size, shape, and composition QDs capping are determined through cross-sectional scanning tunnelling microscopy used as input parameters an 8 × k·p model. As Sb content increased, there two competing effects determining carrier confinement oscillator strength: increased QD height reduced strain on one side QD-capping valence offset other....

Abstract Surface-enhanced infrared absorption (SEIRA) spectroscopy holds significant promise for chemical detection as it enables direct identification of distinct vibrational fingerprints molecules. Traditionally, SEIRA has been exploited through the use tailored metallic nanoantennas, which are burdened by high losses in mid and costly nanofabrication techniques. In this work, we introduce an alternative, simpler approach using self-assembled Cd(Zn)O nanoparticles a platform. We...
The carrier capture kinetics of the Ec—0.59 eV and Ec—0.91 electron traps found in molecular beam epitaxy (MBE)-grown n-GaN have been determined by means deep level transient spectroscopy (DLTS). 0.59 trap does not show behaviour either ideal point defects or line defects. In contrast, 0.91 displays linearly arranged interacting defects, which generate a time-dependent local Coulombic potential with characteristic time constant ≈ 8.6 μs.
A systematic analysis of the deep level spectrum in lower half bandgap Au–Zn1−xMgxO (0.056<x<0.18) Schottky diodes is presented. Two levels are observed at Ev+580 and Ev+280 meV regardless energy with trap concentrations linearly increasing Mg content.

X-Ray diffraction pole figure analysis also confirms absence phase separation. Optical...
The photoluminescence efficiency of GaAsSb-capped InAs/GaAs type II quantum dots (QDs) can be greatly enhanced by rapid thermal annealing while preserving long radiative lifetimes which are ∼20 times larger than in standard GaAs-capped QDs. Despite the reduced electron-hole wavefunction overlap, type-II samples more efficient type-I counterparts terms luminescence, showing a great potential for device applications. Strain-driven In-Ga intermixing during is found to modify QD shape and...

Theoretical efficiency limits make use of optimum designs right lattice constant-bandgap energy combination, which requires a 1.0-1.15 eV material lattice-matched to GaAs/Ge. Nevertheless, lack suitable is hindering achievement predicted efficiencies, since only candidates were up now complex...
