Recently, Chi Xu et al. predicted the phase-filling singularities (PFS) in the optical dielectric function (ODF) of the highly doped $n$-type Ge and confirmed in experiment the PFS associated $E_{1}+Delta_{1}$ transition by advanced textit{in situ} doping technology [Phys. Rev. Lett. 118, 267402 (2017)], but the strong overlap between $E_{1}$ and $E_{1}+Delta_{1}$ optical transitions made the PFS associated $E_{1}$ transition that occurs at the high doping concentration unobservable in their measurement. In this work, we investigate the PFS of the highly doped n-type Ge in the presence of the uniaxial and biaxial tensile strain along [100], [110] and [111] crystal orientation. Compared with the relaxed bulk Ge, the tensile strain along [100] increases the energy separation between the $E_{1}$ and $E_{1}+Delta_{1}$ transition, making it possible to reveal the PFS associated $E_{1}$ transition in optical measurement. Besides, the application of tensile strain along [110] and [111] offers the possibility of lowering the required doping concentration for the PFS to be observed, resulting in new additional features associated with $E_{1}+Delta_{1}$ transition at inequivalent $L$-valleys. These theoretical predications with more distinguishable optical transition features in the presence of the uniaxial and biaxial tensile strain can be more conveniently observed in experiment, providing new insights into the excited states in heavily doped semiconductors.
Ge under high strain is predicted to become a direct bandgap semiconductor. Very large deformations can be introduced using microbridge devices. However, at the microscale, strain values are commonly deduced from Raman spectroscopy using empirical li
CrSb is a layered antiferromagnet (AFM) with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy, a high N{e}el temperature, and large spin-orbit coupling (SOC), which makes it interesting for AFM spintronic applications. To elucidate the various mechanisms of N{e}el

Acceptor-type defects in highly n-type InN are probed using positron annihilation spectroscopy. Results are compared to Hall effect measurements and calculated electron mobilities. Based on this, self-compensation in n-type InN is studied and the mic
We achieved ohmic contacts down to 5 K on standard n-doped Ge samples by creating a strongly doped thin Ge layer between the metallic contacts and the Ge substrate. Thanks to the laser doping technique used, Gas Immersion Laser Doping, we could attai
