In this paper, the reported experimental data in [Sci. Rep., 2012, 2, 533] related to electrical transport properties in bulk ZnO, ZnMgO/ZnO, and ZnMgO/ZnO/ZnMgO single and double heterostructures were analyzed quantitatively and the most important scattering parameters for controlling electron concentration and electron mobility were obtained. Treatment of intrinsic mechanisms included polar-optical phonon scattering, piezoelectric scattering and acoustic deformation potential scattering. For extrinsic mechanisms, ionized impurity, dislocation scattering, and strain-induced fields were included. For bulk ZnO, the reported experimental data were corrected for removing the effects of a degenerate layer at the ZnO/sapphire interface via a two layer Hall effect model. Also, donor density, acceptor density and donor activation energy were determined via the charge balance equation. This sample exhibited hopping conduction below 50K and dislocation scattering closely controlled electron mobility closely. The obtained results indicated that the enhancement of electron mobility in double sample, compared with the single one, can be attributed to the reduction of dislocation density, two dimensional impurity density in the potential well due to background impurities, and/or interface charge and strain-induced fields, which can be related to better electron confinement in the channel and enhancement in the sheet carrier concentration of 2DEG in this sample.

Current-voltage dependence is measured in (Ga,Sb)-doped ZnO up to 150 kV/cm electric fields. A channel temperature is controlled by applying relatively short (few ns) voltage pulses to two-terminal samples. The dependence of electron drift velocity o n electron density ranging from 1.42$times$10$^{17}$ cm$^{-3}$ to 1.3$times$10$^{20}$ cm$^{-3}$ at a given electric field is deduced after estimation of the sample contact resistance and the Hall electron mobility. Manifestation of the highest electron drift velocity up to $sim$1.5$times$10$^{7}$ cm/s is estimated for electron density of 1.42$times$10$^{17}$ cm$^{-3}$ and is in agreement with Monte Carlo simulation when hot-phonon lifetime is below 1 ps. A local drift velocity maximum is observed at $sim$1.1$times$10$^{19}$ cm$^{-3}$ and is in agreement with ultra-fast hot phonon decay.
The structure-property relation of nanostructured Al-doped ZnO thin films has been investigated in detail through a systematic variation of structure and morphology, with particular emphasis on how they affect optical and electrical properties. A var iety of structures, ranging from compact polycristalline films to mesoporous, hierarchically organized cluster assemblies, are grown by Pulsed Laser Deposition at room temperature at different oxygen pressures. We investigate the dependence of functional properties on structure and morphology and show how the correlation between electrical and optical properties can be studied to evaluate energy gap, conduction band effective mass and transport mechanisms. Understanding these properties opens the way for specific applications in photovoltaic devices, where optimized combinations of conductivity, transparency and light scattering are required.
Electric field enhanced electron spin coherence is characterized using time-resolved Faraday rotation spectroscopy in n-type ZnO epilayers grown by molecular beam epitaxy. An in-plane dc electric field E almost doubles the transverse spin lifetime at 20 K, without affecting the effective g-factor. This effect persists till high temperatures, but decreases with increasing carrier concentration. Comparisons of the variations in the spin lifetime, the carrier recombination lifetime and photoluminescence lifetimes indicate that the applied E enhances the radiative recombination rate. All observed effects are independent of crystal directionality and are performed at low magnetic fields (B < 0.2 T).
We report on the growth of epitaxial ZnO thin films and ZnO based heterostructures on sapphire substrates by laser molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). We first discuss some recent developments in laser-MBE such as flexible ultra-violet laser beam optics, i nfrared laser heating systems or the use of atomic oxygen and nitrogen sources, and describe the technical realization of our advanced laser-MBE system. Then we describe the optimization of the deposition parameters for ZnO films such as laser fluence and substrate temperature and the use of buffer layers. The detailed structural characterization by x-ray analysis and transmission electron microscopy shows that epitaxial ZnO thin films with high structural quality can be achieved, as demonstrated by a small out-of-plane and in-plane mosaic spread as well as the absence of rotational domains. We also demonstrate the heteroepitaxial growth of ZnO based multilayers as a prerequisite for spin transport experiments and the realization of spintronic devices. As an example, we show that TiN/Co/ZnO/Ni/Au multilayer stacks can be grown on (0001)-oriented sapphire with good structural quality of all layers and well defined in-plane epitaxial relations.
In this paper we show that spinel ferrite nanocrystals (NiFe2O4, and CoFe2O4) can be texturally embedded inside a ZnO matrix by ion implantation and post-annealing. The two kinds of ferrites show different magnetic properties, e.g. coercivity and mag netization. Anomalous Hall effect and positive magnetoresistance have been observed. Our study suggests a ferrimagnet/semiconductor hybrid system for potential applications in magneto-electronics. This hybrid system can be tuned by selecting different transition metal ions (from Mn to Zn) to obtain various magnetic and electronic properties.
