Low doses effect in GaP light-emitting diodes
Journal Title: Semiconductor Physics, Quantum Electronics and Optoelectronics - Year 2016, Vol 19, Issue 2
Abstract
The paper is devoted to the electrophysical characteristics study of serial red and green GaP light-emitting diodes (LEDs) irradiated with low α-particles doses (Φ ≤ 1012 cm–2). It was stated that radiation features of p-n-junction and its capacitance change in dependence on temperature. The capacitance grows at 300 K, and drops at 77 K. At the same time, a direct branch of current-voltage characteristics shifts into the lower voltage direction, and appropriative barrier potential reduction value from 6.5 down to 3.5 eV is observed. The effects are caused by radiation defects, charge state of which depends on the Fermi level in GaP. The assumption has been made about high ionization level role in the sulfur impurity transition process into electrically active donor position.

Van der Waals interaction between surface and particle with giant polarizability
We show that a nanoparticle with a “giant” polarizability (i.e., with the polarizability volume significantly exceeding the particle volume) placed in the vicinity of a surface experiences a strongly increased van der Wa...
