Several pn junctions were constructed from mechanically exfoliated ultrawide bandgap (UWBG) beta-phase gallium oxide (b{eta}-Ga2O3) and p-type gallium nitride (GaN). The mechanical exfoliation process, which is described in detail, is similar to that of graphene and other 2D materials. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) scans of the exfoliated b{eta}-Ga2O3 flakes show very smooth surfaces with average roughness of 0.647 nm and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) scans reveal flat, clean interfaces between the b{eta}-Ga2O3 flakes and p-GaN. The device showed a rectification ratio around 541.3 (V+5/V-5). Diode performance improved over the temperature range of 25{deg}C and 200{deg}C, leading to an unintentional donor activation energy of 135 meV. As the thickness of exfoliated b{eta}-Ga2O3 increases, ideality factors decrease as do the diode turn on voltages, tending toward an ideal threshold voltage of 3.2 V as determined by simulation. This investigation can help increase study of novel devices between mechanically exfoliated b{eta}-Ga2O3 and other materials.

We report on the growth and characterization of metalorganic vapor-phase epitaxy-grown b{eta}-(AlxGa1-x)2O3/b{eta}-Ga2O3 modulation-doped heterostructures. Electron channel is realized in the heterostructure by utilizing a delta-doped b{eta}-(AlxGa1- x)2O3 barrier. Electron channel characteristics are studied using transfer length method, capacitance-voltage and Hall measurements. Hall sheet charge density of 1.06 x 1013 cm-2 and mobility of 111 cm2/Vs is measured at room temperature. Fabricated transistor showed peak current of 22 mA/mm and on-off ratio of 8 x 106. Sheet resistance of 5.3 k{Omega}/Square is measured at room temperature, which includes contribution from a parallel channel in b{eta}-(AlxGa1-x)2O3.
High-temperature operation of metal-semiconductor-metal (MSM) UV photodetectors fabricated on pulsed laser deposited b{eta}-Ga2O3 thin films has been investigated. These photodetectors were operated up to 250 {deg}C temperature under 255 nm illuminat ion. The photo current to dark current (PDCR) ratio of about 7100 was observed at room temperature (RT) while it had a value 2.3 at 250 {deg}C at 10 V applied bias. A decline in photocurrent was observed from RT to 150 {deg}C and then it increased with temperature up to 250 {deg}C. The suppression of the blue band was also observed from 150 {deg}C temperature which indicated that self-trapped holes in Ga2O3 became unstable. Temperature-dependent rise and decay times of carriers were analyzed to understand the photocurrent mechanism and persistence photocurrent at high temperatures. Coupled electron-phonon interaction with holes was found to influence the photoresponse in the devices. The obtained results are encouraging and significant for high-temperature applications of b{eta}-Ga2O3 MSM deep UV photodetectors.
We report on low-temperature MOVPE growth of silicon delta-doped b{eta}-Ga2O3 films with low FWHM. The as-grown films are characterized using Secondary-ion mass spectroscopy, Capacitance-Voltage and Hall techniques. SIMS measurements show that surfac e segregation is the chief cause of large FWHM in MOVPE-grown films. The surface segregation coefficient (R) is observed to reduce with reduction in the growth temperature. Films grown at 600 {deg}C show an electron concentration of 9.7 x 1012 cm-2 and a FWHM of 3.2 nm. High resolution scanning/transmission electron microscopy of the epitaxial film did not reveal any significant observable degradation in crystal quality of the delta sheet and surrounding regions. Hall measurements of delta-doped film on Fe-doped substrate showed a sheet charge density of 6.1 x 1012 cm-2 and carrier mobility of 83 cm2/V. s. Realization of sharp delta doping profiles in MOVPE-grown b{eta}-Ga2O3 is promising for high performance device applications.
Vertical $pn$ heterojunction diodes were prepared by plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy of unintentionally-doped $p$-type SnO layers with hole concentrations ranging from $p=10^{18}$ to $10^{19}$cm$^{-3}$ on unintentionally-doped $n$-type $beta$- Ga$_{2}$O$_{3}$(-201) substrates with an electron concentration of $n=2.0times10^{17}$cm$^{-3}$. The SnO layers consist of (001)-oriented grains without in-plane expitaxial relation to the substrate. After subsequent contact processing and mesa etching (which drastically reduced the reverse current spreading in the SnO layer and associated high leakage) electrical characterization by current-voltage and capacitance-voltage measurement was performed. The results reveal a type-I band alignment and junction transport by thermionic emission in forward bias. A rectification of $2times10^{8}$ at $pm1$V, an ideality factor of 1.16, differential specific on-resistance of 3.9m$Omegathinspace$cm$^{2}$, and built-in voltage of 0.96V were determined. The $pn$-junction isolation prevented parallel conduction in the highly-conductive Ga$_{2}$O$_{3}$ substrate (sheet resistance $R_{S}approx3thinspaceOmega$) during van-der-Pauw Hall measurements of the SnO layer on top ($R_{S}approx150$k$Omega$, $papprox2.5times10^{18}$cm$^{-3}$, Hall mobility $approx1$cm$^{2}$/Vs). The measured maximum reverse breakdown voltage of the diodes was 66V, corresponding to a peak breakdown field 2.2MV/cm in the Ga$_{2}$O$_{3}$-depletion region. Higher breakdown voltages that are required in high-voltage devices could be achieved by reducing the donor concentration in the $beta$-Ga$_{2}$O$_{3}$ to increase the depletion width as well as improving the contact geometry to reduce field crowding.

Density-functional-theory-based electronic structure calculations are made to consider the novel electronic states of Ru-pnictides RuP and RuAs where the intriguing phase transitions and superconductivity under doping of Rh have been reported. We fin d that there appear nearly degenerate flat bands just at the Fermi level in the high-temperature metallic phase of RuP and RuAs; the flat-band states come mainly from the $4d_{xy}$ orbitals of Ru ions and the Rh doping shifts the Fermi level just above the flat bands. The splitting of the flat bands caused by their electronic instability may then be responsible for the observed phase transition to the nonmagnetic insulating phase at low temperatures. We also find that the band structure calculated for RuSb resembles that of the doped RuP and RuAs, which is consistent with experiment where superconductivity occurs in RuSb without Rh doping.
