(TiO <sub/>2</sub> ) <sub/>1?x</sub> (TaON) <sub/>x</sub> Solid Solution for Band Engineering of Anatase TiO <sub/>2</sub>
摘要： Band engineering of anatase TiO2 was achieved by means of an anatase (TiO2)1?x(TaON)x (TTON) solid solution. Epitaxial thin films of TTON (0.1 ≤ x ≤ 0.9) were synthesized by nitrogen plasma-assisted pulsed laser deposition on (LaAlO3)0.3(SrAl0.5Ta0.5O3)0.7 substrates. Epitaxial growth of anatase TTON was confirmed by X-ray diffraction. The lattice constants of the TTON thin films increased with TaON content in accordance with Vegard’s law, indicating formation of a complete solid solution. The bandgaps, band alignment, and refractive indices of the TTON thin films were investigated by combination of spectroscopic ellipsometry and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The bandgap of the anatase TTON systematically decreased with increasing x, mainly because of an upward shift in the valence band maximum caused by broadening of the valence band as a result of hybridization of the shallow N 2p orbital. The position of the conduction band minimum was rather insensitive to chemical composition, which makes the band alignment of anatase TTON suitable for photocatalytic water splitting with visible light. The refractive index of anatase TTON monotonically increased with an increase in x.

The Study of Features of Formation and Properties of A3B5 Semiconductors Highly Doped with Iron
摘要： Layers of InAs, InSb, and GaSb semiconductors highly doped with iron during their growth by the method of pulsed laser deposition are studied experimentally. The best temperatures for layer formation on GaAs (100) substrates are: 250°C (InSb : Fe), 300°C (InAs : Fe), and 350°C (GaSb : Fe). At high Fe concentration (over 10 at %) the layers display ferromagnetic properties expressed in emergence of a hysteresis curve within the magnetic field dependences of the Hall resistance, negative magnetoresistance, and in some cases, ferromagnetic-type magnetization at measurements at room temperature. The atoms of iron do not change the type of layer conductivity; InAs : Fe and InSb : Fe layers possess n-type conductivity, and GaSb : Fe layers display p-type conductivity due to their intrinsic point defects.

Nanoelectronics and Materials Development || Epitaxial Cu3Ge Thin Film: Fabrication, Structure, and Property
摘要： In this paper, the fabrication and electrical property characterization of epitaxial Cu3Ge thin film are performed. By adjusting deposition parameters, the crystallinity of the as‐grown Cu3Ge thin films is improved, with the formation of twins within it. The average work function of epitaxial Cu3Ge thin film is measured to be ～4.47 + 0.02 eV, render‐ ing it a desirable mid‐gap gate metal for applications in complementary metal‐oxide semiconductor (CMOS) devices. The present study therefore shows an epitaxial Cu3Ge thin film that is promising for applications.

Nitric Oxide Detector Based on WO <sub/>3</sub> -1wt%In <sub/>2</sub> O <sub/>3</sub> -1wt%Nb <sub/>2</sub> O <sub/>5</sub> with State-of-the-Art Selectivity and ppb-Level Sensitivity
摘要： Fast, sensitive, and precise detection of nitric oxide (NO) is critical to many applications in environmental monitoring and early disease diagnosis via respiratory testing. An effective detection system requires a sensor to detect NO gas at the parts per billion (ppb) level, and this system should possess a high degree of anti-interference selectivity. To achieve these targets, a series of gas sensor thin films based on intrinsic WO3, one-additive-doped WO3 (prepared by doping In2O3 or Nb2O5), and two-additive-doped WO3 (synthesized by doping with In2O3 and Nb2O5) oxides were successfully grown. By analyzing the properties of sensitivity, selectivity, responsiveness, and recovery time of the gas sensors, we found that WO3-1wt%In2O3-1wt%Nb2O5 has overwhelming advantages over intrinsic WO3, WO3-In2O3, and WO3-Nb2O5. A sensing response value of 2.4 was observed for NO concentrations as low as 20 ppb from the WO3-1wt%In2O3-1wt%Nb2O5 sensor. With 100 ppb NO gas, the WO3-1wt%In2O3-1wt%Nb2O5 sensor achieved a high response of 56.1 at 70 °C, which is a state-of-the-art performance for NO detection at low working temperature settings. WO3-1wt%In2O3-1wt%Nb2O5 also yields significantly improved selectivity and stability over intrinsic WO3, WO3-In2O3, and WO3-Nb2O5. Studies on the sensing mechanism show that the grain size, rather than the n?n heterostructure effect, plays a dominant role in the observed results. By decreasing the grain size so that it is close to the thickness of the space-charge layer, the sensing response is enhanced. Although room remains to further improve the sensing properties, the performance of WO3-1wt%In2O3-1wt%Nb2O5 is sufficient for implementation in low-content NO detection devices.
