18.	EPR STUDY OF Mn 2. AROUND THE FERROELASTIC TRANSITION POINT OF Pb3(PO4)2 M. Razeghi, B. Houlier and M. Yuste M. Razeghi et al. EPR STUDY OF Mn 2. AROUND THE FERROELASTIC TRANSITION POINT OF Pb3(PO4)2, Solid State Communications, Vol. 26, pp. 665-668. -- January 26, 1978 ...[Visit Journal] The spin Hamiltonian parameters of Mn 2÷ have been measured above and below the transition point (180"C) of the lead phosphate. They show that Mn 2+ substitutes a Pbl ion. Between 175 and 180vC the principal axis OX of the fine tensor is parallel to the wave vector of the soft mode which condensates at the transition point. An exaltation of the linewidth is observed. The linewidth remains constant within 50C of Te; in this temperature range, the "static regime" is achieved, and the correlation time of the fluctuations is less than 10 -s sec. [reprint (PDF)]
18.	280 nm UV LEDs Grown on HVPE GaN Substrates A. Yasan, R. McClintock, K. Mayes, S.R. Darvish, P. Kung, M. Razeghi, and R.J. Molnar Opto-Electronics Review, 10 (4)-- January 1, 2002 ...[Visit Journal] We report on the enhancement of optical and electrical properties of 280 nm UV LEDs using low dislocation density HVPE-grown GaN substrate. Compared with the same structure grown on sapphire, these LEDs show ~30% reduction in current-voltage differential resistance, ~15% reduction in turn-on voltage, more than 200% increase in output power slope efficiency and saturation at higher currents. Lower density of defects due to higher material quality and better heat dissipation are believed to be the reason behind these improvements. [reprint (PDF)]
18.	Negative luminescence of InAs/GaSb superlattice photodiodes F. Fuchs, D. Hoffman, A. Gin, A. Hood, Y. Wei, and M. Razeghi Phys. Stat. Sol. C 3 (3)-- February 22, 2006 ...[Visit Journal] The emission behaviour of InAs/GaSb superlattice photodiodes has been studied in the spectral range between 8 µm and 13 μm. With a radiometric calibration of the experimental set-up the internal quantum efficiency has been determined in the temperature range between 80 K and 300 K for both, the negative and positive luminescence. The quantitative analysis of the internal quantum efficiency of the non-equilibrium radiation enables the determination of the Auger coefficient. [reprint (PDF)]
18.	Comparison of the Physical Properties of GaN Thin Films Deposited on (0112) and (0001) Sapphire Substrates C.J. Sun and M. Razeghi Applied Physics Letters 63 (7)-- August 16, 1993 ...[Visit Journal] A direct comparison of the physical properties of GaN thin films is made as a function of the choice of substrate orientations. Gallium nitride single crystals were grown on (0001) and (0112) sapphire substrates by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition. Better crystallinity with fine ridgelike facets is obtained on the (0112) sapphire. Also lower carrier concentration and higher mobilities indicate both lower nitrogen vacancies and less oxygen incorporation on the (0112) sapphire. The results of this study show better physical properties of GaN thin films achieved on (0112) sapphire. [reprint (PDF)]

18.	Photoluminescence characteristics of polar and nonpolar AlGaN/GaN superlattices Z. Vashaei, C. Bayram, P. Lavenus, and M. Razeghi Applied Physics Letters, Vol. 97, No. 12, p. 121918-1-- September 20, 2010 ...[Visit Journal] High quality Al_0.2Ga_0.8N/GaN superlattices (SLs) with various (GaN) well widths (1.6 to 6.4 nm) have been grown on polar c-plane and nonpolar m-plane freestanding GaN substrates by metal-organic chemical vapor deposition. Atomic force microscopy, high resolution x-ray diffraction, and photoluminescence (PL) studies of SLs have been carried out to determine and correlate effects of well width and polarization field on the room-temperature PL characteristics. A theoretical model was applied to explain PL energy-dependency on well width and crystalline orientation taking into account internal electric field for polar substrate. Absence of induced-internal electric field in nonpolar SLs was confirmed by stable PL peak energy and stronger PL intensity as a function of excitation power density than polar ones. [reprint (PDF)]

Razeghi SPIE Proceedings, San Francisco, CA (January 22-28, 2010), Vol. 7608, p. 76080F-1-- January 22, 2010 ...[Visit Journal] We demonstrate very high wall plug efficiency (WPE) of mid-infrared quantum cascade lasers (QCLs) in low temperature pulsed mode operation (53%), room temperature pulsed mode operation (23%), and room temperature continuous wave operation (18%). All of these values are the highest to date for any QCLs.

18.	Persistent photoconductivity in thin undoped GaInP/GaAs quantum wells S. Elhamri, M. Ahoujja, K. Ravindran, D.B. Mast, R.S. Newrock, W.C. Mitchel, G.J. Brown, I. Lo, M. Razeghi and X. He Applied Physics Letters 66 (2)-- January 9, 1995 ...[Visit Journal] Persistent photoconductivity has been observed at low temperatures in thin, unintentionally doped GaInP/GaAs/GaInP quantum wells. The two‐dimensional electron gas was studied by low field Hall and Shubnikov–de Haas effects. After illumination with red light, the electron concentration increased from low 10¹¹ cm⁻² to more than 7×10¹¹ cm⁻² resulting in an enhancement of both the carrier mobility and the quantum lifetime. The persistent photocarriers cannot be produced by DX-like defects since the shallow dopant concentration in the GaInP layers is too low to produce the observed concentration. We suggest that the persistent carriers are produced by photoionization of deep intrinsic donors in the GaInP barrier layer. We also report observation of a parallel conduction path in GaInP induced by extended illumination. [reprint (PDF)]

18.	Planar nBn type-II superlattice mid-wavelength infrared photodetectors using zinc ion-implantation Arash Dehzangi, Donghai Wu, Ryan McClintock, Jiakai Li, and Manijeh Razeghi Appl. Phys. Lett. 116, 221103 https://doi.org/10.1063/5.0010273-- June 2, 2020 ...[Visit Journal] In this Letter, we report the demonstration of zinc ion-implantation to realize planar mid-wavelength infrared photodetectors based on type-II InAs/InAs1−xSbx superlattices.

17.	Infrared detection from GaInAs/InP nanopillar arrays A. Gin, B. Movaghar, M. Razeghi and G.J. Brown Nanotechnology 16-- July 1, 2005 ...[Visit Journal] We report on the photoresponse from large arrays of 40 nm radius nanopillars with sensitivity in the long-wavelength infrared regime. Using photoluminescence techniques, a peak wavelength blue shift of approximately 5 meV was observed at 30 K from GaInAs/InP nanopillar structures, indicating carrier confinement effects. Responsivity measurements at 30 K indicated peak wavelength response at about 8 µm with responsivity of 420 mA/W at −2 V bias. We have also measured the noise and estimated the peak detectivity to be 3×10⁸ cm·Hz^½·W⁻¹ at 1 V reverse bias and 30 K. A maximum internal quantum efficiency of 4.5% was derived from experiment. Both the photo and the dark transport have been successfully modeled as processes that involve direct and indirect field-assisted tunneling as well as thermionic emission. The best agreement with experiment was obtained when allowances were made for the non-uniformity of barrier widths and electric field heating of carriers above the lattice temperature.

Razeghi Applied Physics Letters 67 (12)-- September 18, 1995 ...[Visit Journal] Al_xGa_1–xN were grown on (00.1) sapphire and (111) silicon substrates in the whole composition range (0 <= x <= 1). The high optical quality of the epilayers was assessed by room-temperature optical absorption and photoluminescence measurements. Layers with higher Al composition are more resistive.

17.	Comparison of PLD-Grown p-NiO/n-Ga2O3 Heterojunctions on Bulk Single Crystal β-Ga2O3 and r-plane Sapphire Substrates D. J. Rogers , V. E. Sandana, F. Hosseini Teherani and M. Razeghi Proc. of SPIE Vol. 12895, Quantum Sensing and Nano Electronics and Photonics XX, 128870J (28 January - 1 February 2024 San Francisco)doi: 10.1117/12.3012511 ...[Visit Journal] p-NiO/n-Ga2O3 heterostructures were formed on single crystal (-201) β (monoclinic) Ga2O3 and r-sapphire substrates by Pulsed Laser Deposition. Ring mesa layer stacks were created using a shadow mask during growth. X-Ray diffraction studies were consistent with the formation of (111) oriented fcc NiO on the bulk Ga2O3 and randomly oriented fcc NiO on (102) oriented β-Ga2O3 /r-sapphire. RT optical transmission studies revealed bandgap energy values of ~3.65 eV and ~5.28 eV for the NiO and Ga2O3 on r-sapphire. p-n junction devices were formed by depositing gold contacts on the layer stacks using shadow masks in a thermal evaporator. Both heterojunctions showed rectifying I/V characteristics. On bulk Ga2O, the junction showed a current density over 16mA/cm2 at +20V forward bias and a reverse bias leakage current over 3 orders of magnitude lower at -20V (1 pA). On Ga2O3/r-sapphire the forward bias current density at +15V was about an order of magnitude lower than for the p-NiO/bulk n-Ga2O3 heterojunction while the reverse bias leakage current at -15V (~ 20 pA) was an order of magnitude higher. Hence the NiO/bulk Ga2O3 junction was more rectifying. Upon illumination with a Xenon lamp a distinct increase in current was observed for the IV curves in both devices (four orders of magnitude for -15V reverse bias in the case of the p-NiO/bulk n-Ga2O3 heterojunction). The p-NiO/n-Ga2O3/rsapphire junction gave a spectral responsivity with a FWHM value of 80nm and two distinct response peaks (with maxima at 230 and 270nm) which were attributed to carriers being photogenerated in the Ga2O3 underlayer. For both devices time response studies showed a 10%/90% rise and fall of the photo generated current upon shutter open and closing which was relatively abrupt (millisecond range), and there was no evidence of significant persistent photoconductivity.

Mi Conference Proceedings - International Conference on Indium Phosphide and Related Materials. 588-593:[4266015] (2007)-- May 14, 2007 ...[Visit Journal] Mid-infrared laser sources are highly desired for laser-based trace chemical sensors, military countermeasures, free-space communications, as well as developing medical applications.
