The quasi-static anisotropic permittivity parameters of electrically insulating gallium oxide (beta-Ga2O3) were determined by terahertz spectroscopy. Polarization-resolved frequency domain spectroscopy in the spectral range from 200 GHz to 1 THz was carried out on bulk crystals along different orientations. Principal directions for permittivity were determined along crystallographic axes c, and b, and reciprocal lattice direction a*. No significant frequency dispersion in the real part of dielectric permittivity was observed in the measured spectral range. Our results are in excellent agreement with recent radio-frequency capacitance measurements as well as with extrapolations from recent infrared measurements of phonon mode and high frequency contributions, and close the knowledge gap for these parameters in the terahertz spectral range. Our results are important for applications of beta-Ga2O3 in high-frequency electronic devices

The effects of hydrogen incorporation into beta-Ga2O3 thin films have been investigated by chemical, electrical and optical characterization techniques. Hydrogen incorporation was achieved by remote plasma doping without any structural alterations of the film; however, X-ray photoemission reveals major changes in the oxygen chemical environment. Depth-resolved cathodoluminescence (CL) reveals that the near-surface region of the H-doped Ga2O3 film exhibits a distinct red luminescence (RL) band at 1.9 eV. The emergence of the H-related RL band is accompanied by an enhancement in the electrical conductivity of the film by an order of magnitude. Temperature-resolved CL points to the formation of abundant H-related donors with a binding energy of 28 +/- 4 meV. The RL emission is attributed to shallow donor-deep acceptor pair recombination, where the acceptor is a VGa-H complex and the shallow donor is interstitial H. The binding energy of the VGa-H complex, based on our experimental considerations, is consistent with the computational results by Varley et al [J. Phys.: Condens. Matter, 23, 334212, 2011].
Vertical (-201) and (010) beta-Ga2O3 Schottky barrier diodes (SBDs) were fabricated on single-crystal substrates grown by edge-defined film-fed growth (EFG) method. High resolution X-ray diffraction (HRXRD) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) confirmed good crystal quality and surface morphology of the substrates. The electrical properties of both devices, including current-voltage (I-V) and capacitance-voltage (C-V) characteristics, were comprehensively measured and compared. The (-201) and (010) SBDs exhibited on-resistances (Ron) of 0.56 and 0.77 m{Omega}cm2, turn-on voltages (Von) of 1.0 and 1.3 V, Schottky barrier heights (SBH) of 1.05 and 1.20 eV, electron mobilities of 125 and 65 cm2/(Vs), respectively, with a high on-current of ~1.3 kA/cm2 and on/off ratio of ~109. The (010) SBD had a larger Von and SBH than (-201) SBD due to anisotropic surface properties (i.e., surface Fermi level pinning and band bending), as supported by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) measurements. Temperature-dependent I-V also revealed the inhomogeneous nature of the SBH in both devices, where (-201) SBD showed a more uniform SBH distribution. The homogeneous SBH was also extracted: 1.33 eV for (-201) SBD and 1.53 eV for (010) SBD. The reverse leakage current of the devices was well described by the two-step trap-assisted tunneling model and the one-dimensional variable range hopping conduction (1D-VRH) model. The (-201) SBD showed larger leakage current due to its lower SBH and smaller activation energy. These results indicate the crystalline anisotropy of beta-Ga2O3 can affect the electrical properties of vertical SBDs and should be taken into consideration when designing beta-Ga2O3 electronics.
We present the results of a thorough study of the specific heat and magnetocaloric properties of a ludwigite crystal Cu2MnBO5 over a temperature range of 60 - 350 K and in magnetic fields up to 18 kOe. It is found that at temperatures below the Curie temperature (92 K), capacity possesses a linear temperature-dependent behavior, which is associated with the predominance of two-dimensional antiferromagnetic interactions of magnons. The temperature independence of capacity is observed in the temperature range of 95 - 160 K, which can be attributed to the excitation of the Wigner glass phase. The magnetocaloric effect (i.e. the adiabatic temperature change) was assessed through a direct measurement or an indirect method using the capacity data. Owing to its strong magnetocrystalline anisotropy, an anisotropic MCE or the rotating MCE is observed in Cu2MnBO5. A deep minimum in the rotating MCE near the TC is observed and may be associated with the anisotropy of the paramagnetic susceptibility.
We investigate analytically the anisotropic dielectric properties of single crystal {alpha}-SnS near the fundamental absorption edge by considering atomic orbitals. Most striking is the excitonic feature in the armchair- (b-) axis direction, which is particularly prominent at low temperatures. To determine the origin of this anisotropy, we perform first-principles calculations using the GW0 Bethe-Salpeter equation (BSE) including the electron-hole interaction. The results show that the anisotropic dielectric characteristics are a direct result of the natural anisotropy of p orbitals. In particular, this dominant excitonic feature originates from the py orbital at the saddle point in the {Gamma}-Y region.
Cathodoluminescence spectra were measured to determine the characteristics of luminescence bands and carrier dynamics in beta-Ga2O3 bulk single crystals. The CL emission was found to be dominated by a broad UV emission peaked at 3.40 eV, which exhibi ts strong quenching with increasing temperature; however, its spectral shape and energy position remain virtually unchanged. We observed a super-linear increase of CL intensity with excitation density; this kinetics of carrier recombination can be explained in terms of carrier trapping and charge transfer at Fe impurity centres. The temperature-dependent properties of this UV band are consistent with weakly bound electrons in self-trapped excitons with an activation energy of 48 +/- 10 meV. In addition to the self-trapped exciton emission, a blue luminescence (BL) band is shown to be related to a donor-like defect, which increases significantly in concentration after hydrogen plasma annealing. The point defect responsible for the BL, likely an oxygen vacancy, is strongly coupled to the lattice exhibiting a Huang-Rhys factor of ~ 7.3.
