    Notes: The local structure of an optically active center in erbium-doped zinc oxide (ZnO:Er) thin film produced by a laser ablation technique and its optical activation process are investigated by Er LIII-edge x-ray absorption fine structure analysis using a synchrotron radiation as an x-ray source. In as-ablated ZnO:Er thin film, Er has an approximately five-fold coordination of O surrounded by eight other O atoms as second-nearest neighbors. The high-order coordination of O decreases the Er-related photoluminescence (PL) intensity due to an undesirable crystal field for 4f radiation transition. After annealing in O2 ambient, the local structure of Er changes to a pseudo-octahedral structure with C4v symmetry, similar to the optically activated Er-doped Si (Si:Er), resulting in strong PL. The bond lengths of Er–O are evaluated, and differences in the optical activation processes between ZnO:Er and Si:Er thin films are discussed. © 2001 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: For local structure analyses of carrier trap centers in semiconductors, site-selective x-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) measurement, the "capacitance XAFS" method, is proposed. The concept of capacitance XAFS measurement is based on the fact that the amount of x-ray absorption of trap centers, not the bulk, may be evaluated from the capacitance change due to x-ray induced photoemission of a localized electron. In order to verify this model, characteristics of x-ray induced photoemission from defects are investigated by capacitance–voltage measurement. The temperature dependence of the photocarrier concentration in a semiconductor corresponds to that of the capacitance XAFS signal amplitude. On the other hand, no influence of the thermal excitation of defects on the capacitance XAFS signal amplitude is observed. These results indicate that the capacitance XAFS signal originates from localized electron emission via the inner-shell excitation of defect atoms, resulting in site selectivity to the trap centers. © 2000 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The local structure of erbium-doped silicon produced by the laser ablation technique is investigated by Er LIII-edge x-ray absorption fine structure analysis. The combined analysis of extended x-ray absorption fine structure analysis and an x-ray absorption near-edge structure simulation based on multiple-scattering theory reveals the most probable atomic coordination of the optically active center; Er bonded with six oxygen atoms has a C4v symmetry. The optical activation process of this system is also discussed. The Si target with 10 wt% Er2O3 has two kinds of local structures, C-rare-earth Er2O3 grain and another Er phase incorporated in Si. The laser ablation homogenizes these phases, and deposits a new single-phase structure of the octahedron (Oh point group) on the substrates. In this phase, the optical transition probability is low due to the forbidden 4f transition of Er in the crystal field originating from the higher-order symmetry of O. After annealing, degradation of the symmetry from Oh to C4v results in a crystal field suitable for inducing sufficient radiation transition. © 1999 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: As a possible atomic coordination of erbium dopants surrounded by oxygen, a molecular orbital calculation of an ErO6 cluster can predict a C4v pseudo-octahedral structure with Er distortion of ∼0.1 Å from the octahedral center. It was found that bond alternation by a "rack and pinion effect" can minimize the electron transfer from O2− to Er3+ at this distortion range, resulting in stable ionic bonding; the rotation of an O 2p orbital due to Er 5d translation, similar to rack and pinion motion, forms a new O 2p–Er 5d bond, while a dipole moment induced by symmetrical degradation makes an O 2p–Er 6s bond unstable. © 2001 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: In order to discuss the local structure of an optically active center in Er-doped Si thin film, site-selective x-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) analysis using x-ray-excited optical luminescence was performed. The XAFS spectrum at the Er LIII edge was obtained from the x-ray photon energy dependence of the peak intensity of infrared luminescence due to Er intra-4f transition. Although conventional XAFS measurement analyzes the average structure of all of the Er, this method intrinsically provides structural information for only optically active Er. A broad 2p–5d resonant peak in the site-selective XAFS spectrum is reproduced by a density-of-state calculation of a distorted ErO6 cluster, assuming an Er transformation from an octahedral center of 0.25 Å. © 2001 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The surface of the epitaxial layer of AlP grown by atomic layer epitaxy (ALE) was observed by atomic force microscopy. It was discovered that the atomic scale surface flatness was not always retained during ALE growth even though the self-limiting growth of 1 monolayer per 1 alternative source gas supply was maintained. A reaction process model that focused on the methyl adsorbate lifetime on the Al surface was proposed to explain the experimental results. Based on this model, AlP surface morphology was improved by gas feeding control, and a flat surface with atomic steps was obtained even after 250 cycles of the ALE sequence. © 1997 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: In order to discuss the local structure of deep level carrier traps, the site-selective x-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) by measuring the x-ray photon-energy dependence of the capacitance of a Schottky barrier diode is proposed. Dropping of the localized electron into a core hole arising from x-ray absorption of the atom in the carrier trap, not in bulk, increases the capacitance. The site-selective XAFS is adopted for the local structure analysis of DX center in Al0.33Ga0.67As:Se. The Ga K-edge site-selective XAFS is different from the conventional XAFS, suggesting that Ga in the DX center with a large lattice relaxation is selectively observed. © 1999 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The design and performance of the high-brilliance XAFS facility at BL10XU of SPring-8, aimed at rapid and sensitive measurement of X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS), is reported. Both undulator gap and double-crystal monochromator have been successfully controlled covering a wide energy range (5–30 keV). A versatile goniometer system, consisting of two independent high-precision goniometers, is capable of polarized XAFS in fluorescence mode and surface-sensitive experiments using a grazing-incidence geometry. By sharing major components, i.e. a monolithic Ge 100-pixel array detector and a closed-cycle He cryostat, both polarized XAFS and X-ray standing wave (XSW) experiments can be performed at low temperature (15–300 K). The performance of the spectrometer has been evaluated by recording XAFS spectra in transmission mode.

    Notes: For local structure analyses of low-dimensional structures in semiconductors, such as defects, interfaces and surfaces, a new site-selective X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) measurement, `capacitance XAFS method', is presented. This method measures the X-ray photon energy dependence of the capacitance involved in diode structures. Since the capacitance is changed by an X-ray induced photoemission of localized electrons in the low dimensional structures, a site-selective analysis can be made. Although macroscopic X-ray absorption can be measured by conventional XAFS analyses, low-dimensional X-ray absorption coefficients are observed by the capacitance XAFS measurements.
