GROWTH OF InP CRYSTALS WITH RARE-EARTH ELEMENTS
Yatskiv, Roman ; Grym, Jan ; Žďánský, Karel ; Pekárek, Ladislav ; Zavadil, Jiří
We report on the influence of rare earth (RE) elements (Pr, Er, and Dy) addition during vertical Bridgman low pressure synthesis on the properties of InP crystals. The temperature dependent Hall measurement and low temperature photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy were employed to study the changes in electrical and optical properties of the crystals. The observed changes are attributed to the gettering effect of REs caused by the high affinity of REs towards shallow impurities in InP.

LPE Growth of III-V Semiconductors from rare-earth Treated Melts
Grym, Jan ; Procházková, Olga ; Zavadil, Jiří ; Žďánský, Karel
We focus on the characterization of InP and InGaAsP layers prepared by liquid phase epitaxy with rare-earth admixtures. We applied photoluminescence spectroscopy (PL), capacitance-voltage measurements, and secondary ion mass spectroscopy in order to explain: (i) the gettering effect and conductivity crossover of InP layers for Pr treated samples, (ii) narrowing of the PL and elecroluminescent spectra of the active InGaAsP region of a double-heterostructure LED.

Layers of nanoparticles in micelle enclosures were deposited on InP substrates by electrophoresis from isooctane colloid solutions containing Pd or Ag nanoparticles. The layers were investigated by SIMS, low-temperature photoluminescence spectroscopy and topography, absorption spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy and sensitivity to hydrogen. Photoluminescence of InP was enhanced by the layers of Pd or Ag nanoparticles. Schottky barriers made on the n-type InP with layers containing Pd nanoparticles showed significant sensitivity to hydrogen in contrast to those containing Ag nanoparticles.

Růst InP metodou LPE s přídavkem prvků vzácných zemin do taveniny
Grym, Jan ; Procházková, Olga ; Zavadil, Jiří ; Žďánský, Karel
Addition of REs to the growth melt is known to have purifying effect on AIIIBV LPE layers. Each member of REs family acts in its own way. Small addition of Tb, Dy, Tm, and Pr leads to pronounced gettering of shallow donors, the high purity n-type InP can be grown. Exceeding certain concentration, reversal of conductivity type from n to p occurs. Addition of Tm during growth on InP:Fe substrates always results in the preparation of semi-insulating layers due to Fe out-diffusion mediated by RE admixture.
