Ion track template technology for fabrication of CdTe and CdO nanocrystals
2020
Abstract CdTe and CdO nanocrystals were synthesized by chemical deposition into a-SiO2/n-Si ion track template formed by 200 MeV Xe ion irradiation with the fluence of 108 ions/cm2. Depending on the temperature of the solution CdTe + CdO and single-phase CdO with a hexagonal crystal structure were obtained, respectively. The study of the current – voltage characteristics of the obtained structure with the single-phase CdO allows us to estimate the number of grain boundaries and the height of the potential barrier, as well as the n-type conductivity.

Collapse in the symmetric Gross–Pitaevskii equation
2004
A generic mechanism of collapse in the Gross–Pitaevskii equation with attractive interparticle interactions is gained by reformulating this equation as Newton's equation of motion for a system of particles with a constraint. 'Quantum pressure' effects give rise to formation of a potential barrier around the emerging singularity, which prevents a fraction of the particles from falling into the singularity. For reasonable initial widths of the condensate, the fraction of collapsing particles for spherically symmetric traps is found to be consistently about 0.7.
1H NMR study of dynamical inequivalence of cations in [C(NH2)3]3Sb2Cl9
2001
Abstract The proton NMR second moment and spin–lattice relaxation time have been studied for polycrystalline tris-guanidinium nonachlorodiantimonate(III) in a wide temperature range. The C 3 reorientation of two types of the cations, hindered by very different potential barriers (20.5 and 54.5 kJ/mol) has been revealed. An unusually large dynamical inequivalence of two cations evidently reflects their different crystalline environments.

Two-dimensional electron gas at the LaAlO$_3$/SrTiO$_3$ inteface with a potential barrier
2015
We present a tight binding description of electronic properties of the interface between LaAlO$_3$ (LAO) and SrTiO$_3$ (STO). The description assumes LAO and STO perovskites as sets of atomic layers in the $x$-$y$ plane, which are weakly coupled by an interlayer hopping term along the $z$ axis. The interface is described by an additional potential, $U_0$, which simulates a planar defect. Physically, the interfacial potential can result from either a mechanical stress at the interface or other structural imperfections. We show that depending on the potential strength, charge carriers (electrons or holes) may form an energy band which is localized at the interface and is within the band gaps …
Schottky barrier height tuning by Hybrid organic-inorganic multilayers
2014
ABSTRACTSemiconducting and insulating polymers and copolymers/Au nanograins based hybrid multilayers (HyMLs) were fabricated on p-Si single-crystal substrate by an iterative method that involves, respectively, Langmuir-Blodgett and spin-coating techniques (for the deposition of organic film) and sputtering technique (for the deposition of metal nanograins) to prepare Au/HyMLs/p-Si Schottky device. The electrical properties of the Au/HyMLs/p-Si Schottky device were investigated by current-voltage (I–V) measurements in the thickness range of 1-5 bilayers (BL).At different number of layers, current-voltage (I–V) measurements were performed. Results showed a rectifying behavior. Junction parame…
The experimental observation of the potential barrier for self-trapped exciton decay into F-H pair in KCl-Na crystals
1995
Abstract The optical absorption induced by the electron pulse irradiation of Na+ doped KCl has been measured. Transient optical absorption band of FA centers was observed at 80 K (LNT). The temperature dependence of FA center formation was studied. It is proposed that the obtained activation energy originates from the potential barrier between the STE perturbed by the cation impurity and the nearest neighbour FA-H pair. The mechanism of the suppression of the defect formation by the monovalent cation impurity in alkali halide crystals is discussed.
Electrical transport in carbon black-epoxy resin composites at different temperatures
2013
Citation: J. Appl. Phys. 114, 033707 (2013); doi: 10.1063/1.4815870 (Received 3 May 2013; accepted 27 June 2013; published online 17 July 2013) Results of broadband electric/dielectric properties of different surface area—carbon black/epoxy resin composites above the percolation threshold are reported in a wide temperature range (25–500 K). At higher temperatures (above 400 K), the electrical conductivity of composites is governed by electrical transport in polymer matrix and current carriers tunneling from carbon black clusters to polymer matrix. The activation energy of such processes decreases when the carrier concentration increases, i.e., with the increase of carbon black concentration…
Location- and observation time-dependent quantum-tunneling
2009
We investigate quantum tunneling in a translation invariant chain of particles. The particles interact harmonically with their nearest neighbors, except for one bond, which is anharmonic. It is described by a symmetric double well potential. In the first step, we show how the anharmonic coordinate can be separated from the normal modes. This yields a Lagrangian which has been used to study quantum dissipation. Elimination of the normal modes leads to a nonlocal action of Caldeira-Leggett type. If the anharmonic bond defect is in the bulk, one arrives at Ohmic damping, i.e. there is a transition of a delocalized bond state to a localized one if the elastic constant exceeds a critical value $…
