The Vibrational Distribution Of N2+ In The Terrestrial Ionosphere, Jane L. Fox, Alexander Dalgarno Jan 1985

The Vibrational Distribution Of N2+ In The Terrestrial Ionosphere, Jane L. Fox, Alexander Dalgarno

Physics Faculty Publications

The densities and vibrational distributions of N2+ in the X²Σg+, A²Πu, and B²Σu+ states in the daytime terrestrial ionosphere are computed for both low and high solar activity. Altitude profiles of the relative populations of the vibrational levels of N2+X²Σg+ are presented. The fraction of vibrationally excited N2+ varies from 5% at 100 km to 50% at 450 km. Several models are examined in which loss of N2+(v) is enhanced for v > 0 and in …

An Analysis Of The Effect Of Network Load And Topology On The Performance Of Concurrency Control Algorithm In Distributed Database Systems, Anoop Singhal, Amit P. Sheth, Ming T. Liu Dec 1984

An Analysis Of The Effect Of Network Load And Topology On The Performance Of Concurrency Control Algorithm In Distributed Database Systems, Anoop Singhal, Amit P. Sheth, Ming T. Liu

Kno.e.sis Publications

Earlier studies in the performance analysis of concurrency control algorithms in distributed database systems (DDBS) have assumed that the message transmission time between any two nodes of a network is constant. Hence they disregard the effect of communication subnet related parameters such as network traffic, network topology, the capacity of transmission channels and the size of messages transmitted. In this paper an analytical model is used to estimate the delays in transmission channels for a DDBS in a long haul network. The analysis shows that the constant transmission time assumption cannot be justified in many cases and that response time …

A Simple Model For Impurity Photoabsorption In Silicon, Gust Bambakidis Jun 1984

A Simple Model For Impurity Photoabsorption In Silicon, Gust Bambakidis

Physics Faculty Publications

A simple model for absorption of infrared radiation by impurity atoms in silicon crystals has been developed and applied to electronic excitations ofthe Group V donors Bi, Sb, As, and P, and the Group III acceptors B, AI, Ga, and In. The model is based on the quantum-defect method for approximating bound donor or acceptor wave functions outside the core region of the impurity. For each donor species, the relative oscillator strengths have been calculated for the transitions from the ground state to the first four excited levels. For each acceptor species, the relative oscillator strengths were calculated for transitions …

Perturbation Of Periodic Boundary-Conditions, Larry Turyn Jan 1984

Perturbation Of Periodic Boundary-Conditions, Larry Turyn

Mathematics and Statistics Faculty Publications

We consider perturbations of the problem (*) - x'' + bx = lambda ax, x(0) - x(1) = 0 = x'(0) - x'(1) both by changes of the boundary conditions and by addition of nonlinear terms. We assume that at lambda = lambda 0 there are two linearly independent solutions of the unperturbed problem (*) and that a(dot) is bounded away from zero. When only the boundary conditions are perturbed either the Hill’s discriminant or the method of Lyapunov–Schmidt reduces the problem to 0 = det ((lambda - lambda 0)A - epsilon …

Hole Transport In Pure And Doped Gaas, H. J. Lee, David C. Look Aug 1983

Hole Transport In Pure And Doped Gaas, H. J. Lee, David C. Look

Physics Faculty Publications

We have used a two-band model (heavy and light holes) to calculate the transport properties ofp-type GaAs. The scattering mechanisms included are acoustic-mode deformation potential, acoustic-mode piezoelectric potential, polar- and nonpolar-mode deformation potential, ionized impurity, and space charge. Interband scattering is included explicitly for the optical phonons and phenomenologically for the acoustic phonons. The intraband polar optical-mode scattering, for which a relaxation time cannot be defined, was calculated by using the numerical method of Fletcher and Butcher. The acoustic deformation-potential parameter and the coupling coefficient for interband scattering were calculated by fitting the theory to Hall-mobility data for both pure …

Low Compensation Vapor-Phase Epitaxial Gallium-Arsenide, P. C. Colter, David C. Look, D. C. Reynolds Aug 1983

Low Compensation Vapor-Phase Epitaxial Gallium-Arsenide, P. C. Colter, David C. Look, D. C. Reynolds

Physics Faculty Publications

Vapor phase epitaxial gallium arsenide (GaAs) layers, with lower compensation ratios than any reported heretofore, have been reproducibly grown by the Ga/H2/AsCl3 method. One of these samples has been studied extensively by electrical measurements and shows an acceptor concentration of (2.0 ± 0.7)X1013 cm-3 , and a compensation rate of NA/ND = 0.06 ± 0.02. These numbers are supported by magnetophotothermal spectroscopy and photoluminescence measurements. The preparation involves growth on [211A] substrates, and a pregrowth bakeout of the Ga source, which results in a significantly lower Zn acceptor concentration in the layer. …

A Study Of The 0.1-Ev Conversion Acceptor In Gaas, David C. Look, Gernot S. Pomrenke Jun 1983

A Study Of The 0.1-Ev Conversion Acceptor In Gaas, David C. Look, Gernot S. Pomrenke

Physics Faculty Publications

Two semi-insulating liquid-encapsulated Czochralski GaAs cyrstals, one Cr-doped and the other undoped, were annealed at 750°C for 15 min in flowing H2. Each sample converted to conducting p type in the near-surface region, due to the formation of acceptors at E∪ + 0.1 eV. We have studied this phenomenon by electrical, optical, and analytical profiling techniques, and have determined conclusively that the acceptors in our samples are not related to Mn accumulation, a commonly accepted explanation. It is argued that the O.I-e V center may arise from several possible sources, each exhibiting a VGa -like state at …

Defect Nature Of The 0.4-Ev Center In O-Doped Gaas, David C. Look, S. Chaudhuri, J. R. Sizelove May 1983

Defect Nature Of The 0.4-Ev Center In O-Doped Gaas, David C. Look, S. Chaudhuri, J. R. Sizelove

Physics Faculty Publications

We have studied the Ec - 0.4 e V center in O-doped GaAs by a combination of temperature-dependent Hall-effect measurements, spark-source mass spectroscopy, and secondary-ion mass spectroscopy. The conclusion is that neither 0 nor any other impurity can account for the O.4-eV center; therefore, it is a pure defect.

Nitrogen Escape From Mars, Jane L. Fox, Alexander Dalgarno Jan 1983

Nitrogen Escape From Mars, Jane L. Fox, Alexander Dalgarno

Physics Faculty Publications

The escape rate of nitrogen from Mars is calculated to be 2.3×105 s−1 for low solar flux conditions and 8.9×105 s−1 for high solar flux conditions. The major source of energetic atoms is dissociative recombination of ground state and vibrationally excited N2+ ions. The measured 15N/14N isotope ratio can be reproduced by postulating an early dense atmosphere during which little differentiation occurred.

Positive Identification Of The Cr(4+)-->Cr(3+) Thermal Transition In Gaas, David C. Look, S. Chaudhuri, L. Eaves Dec 1982

Positive Identification Of The Cr(4+)-->Cr(3+) Thermal Transition In Gaas, David C. Look, S. Chaudhuri, L. Eaves

Physics Faculty Publications

Temperature-dependent Hall-effect measurements on two Cr-doped GaAs samples
show a dominant center at E1 =0.324—1.4 x 10-4T eV, with respect to the valence-band edge. By comparison with secondary-ion mass spectroscopy measurements of the Cr concentration, and recent EPR measurements of the Cr2+, Cr3+, and Cr4+ concentration in several samples, it is shown unambiguously that this energy describes the Cr4+→Cr3+ transition. This is the first conclusive evidence for a charge-state transition involving Cr4+ in GaAs.

Evidence Of Intrinsic Double Acceptor In Gaas, Phil Won Yu, W. C. Mithel, M. G. Mier, S. S. Li, Weizhen Wang Jan 1982

Evidence Of Intrinsic Double Acceptor In Gaas, Phil Won Yu, W. C. Mithel, M. G. Mier, S. S. Li, Weizhen Wang

Mathematics and Statistics Faculty Publications

Acceptors present in undoped p‐type conducting GaAs have been studied with photoluminescence, temperature‐dependent Hall measurements, deep level transient spectroscopy, and spark source mass spectrometry. It is shown that p‐type conduction is due to presence of the shallow acceptor CAs and the cation antisite double acceptor GaAs. The first and second ionization energies determined for GaAs are 77 and 230 meV from the valence‐band edge.

A Stratospheric Chemical Instability, Jane L. Fox, Steven C. Wofsy, Michael B. Mcelroy, Michael J. Prather Jan 1982

A Stratospheric Chemical Instability, Jane L. Fox, Steven C. Wofsy, Michael B. Mcelroy, Michael J. Prather

Physics Faculty Publications

The equations which determine partitioning of Clx in steady state have multiple (three) solutions under conditions which might arise in the high-latitude winter stratosphere. Two of these solutions are stable, one is unstable, to infinitesimal perturbations. The relative stability of solutions is examined by subjecting the system to finite perturbations. The more stable solution is found to eliminate the less stable when semi-infinite volumes of the two solutions are placed in contact. The high-ClO, low-NO2 solution is more stable under most conditions. Transitions from less to more stable states are slow in winter but may occur more rapidly …

Atomic Carbon In The Atmosphere Of Venus, Jane L. Fox Jan 1982

Atomic Carbon In The Atmosphere Of Venus, Jane L. Fox

Physics Faculty Publications

The densities of atomic carbon in the Venusian thermosphere are computed for a model which includes both chemistry and transport. The maximum density of C is 2.8×107 cm−3 near 150 km for an assumed O2 mixing ratio of 1×10−4. Photoionization of atomic carbon is found to be the major source of C+ above 200 km, and resonance scattering of sunlight by atomic carbon may be the major source of the C I emissions at 1561 Å, 1657 Å, and 1931 Å. The computed C+ densities are found to be in substantial agreement with …

Statistics Of Multicharge Centers In Semiconductors - Applications, David C. Look Nov 1981

Statistics Of Multicharge Centers In Semiconductors - Applications, David C. Look

Physics Faculty Publications

A general formula is derived for the electron occupation numbers appropriate for multicharge centers in semiconductors, including excited states. The results are used to rederive and generalize several formulas of interest in the literature, in order to show exactly how the degeneracies of individual states enter in. Particular attention is paid to certain subjects which are sometimes confusing, such as how the statistics of band states differ from those those of localized states. Another subject of much recent interest, negative-U centers, is dealt with in some detail. We show how the dependence of the average occupation number on Fermi …

O++ In The Venusian Ionosphere, Jane L. Fox, G. A. Victor Jan 1981

O++ In The Venusian Ionosphere, Jane L. Fox, G. A. Victor

Physics Faculty Publications

It is shown that the revised photochemical theory for O++ in the earth's ionopshere, where double photoionization of O is the dominant source, is consistent with recent O++ measurements on Venus. A rate coefficient of 1.5 × 10−10 cm³ s−1 for O++ + O is obtained, and the possible importance of O++ chemistry on minor atomic ions and airglow emissions is explored.

Automation Of A Popular Monochromator, David C. Look, J. W. Farmer, R. N. Ely Jul 1980

Automation Of A Popular Monochromator, David C. Look, J. W. Farmer, R. N. Ely

Physics Faculty Publications

A wavelength‐scan and intensity‐control system for a widely‐used, high‐intensity monochromator is described. The wavelength scan is bidirectional and variable speed, and may be controlled manually or by TTL logic from a computer. The intensity control is effected by use of a programmable dc power supply and D–A converter. Various filters are described which allow an intensity of up to 2×1014 photons/cm2 s to be achieved in a 1 cm×3 cm area over a wavelength range 0.76–2.50 μm, at 0.07 μm bandwidth, with a single grating. (A lesser intensity is available to 3.4 μm.) This wide range is made …

Electron Irradiation Defects In N-Type Gaas, J. W. Farmer, David C. Look Apr 1980

Electron Irradiation Defects In N-Type Gaas, J. W. Farmer, David C. Look

Physics Faculty Publications

We have studied the production and annealing of defects produced by 1-MeV electron irradiation of n-type GaAs. Two of these defects lie at 0.15 and 0.31 eV from the conduction band, respectively; in addition, there is at least one acceptor much closer to the valence band. The carrier-removal rate depends upon sample purity but is independent of the irradiation flux. The removal rate is also highly dependent upon the position of the the Fermi level, an effect which is considered in some detail. At about 200°C, the defects recover in two stages, with the respective recovery rates given by λ …

Type Conversion In Electron‐Irradiated Gaas, J. W. Farmer, David C. Look Apr 1979

Type Conversion In Electron‐Irradiated Gaas, J. W. Farmer, David C. Look

Physics Faculty Publications

The unambiguous type conversion of GaAs by electron irradiation is reported here for the first time. Several high‐quality n‐type vapor‐phase epitaxial layers (ρ?3 Ω cm and μ?7000 cm2/V sec at 300 K) were converted by 1‐MeV electrons to high‐quality p‐type layers (ρ?30 Ω cm and μ?400 cm2/V sec). Temperature‐dependent Hall‐effect data show energy levels at 0.5, 0.3, and about 0.1 eV above the valence band. Evidence is presented to indicate that the failure of some of our samples (and, perhaps, other samples reported in the literature) to convert to low‐r …
