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.

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.

Physical properties of InP epitaxial layers prepared with dysprosium admixture
Grym, Jan ; Procházková, Olga
Physical properties of commonly prepared InP layers grown by LPE technique and those grown from Dy treated melt are compared. The layers were examined by SEM, low temperature PL spectroscopy, C-V measurements and temperature dependent Hall effect. Structural, electrical and optical properties of InP layers exhibit a significant dependence on the presence of Dy and its concentration in the melt. When increasing the concentration of Dy the reversal of electrical conductivity occurs.

Příprava a charakterizace struktur ZnO malých rozměrů
Grym, Jan ; Fernández, P. ; Piqueras, J.
ZnO low dimensional structures were prepared in order to study their unique electronic and optical properties. ZnO nanocrystals were obtained by ball milling of commercially available powders. This process was found to produce particles with sizes of tens to hundreds nanometers being composed of nanocrystals down to a few nanometers. ZnO micro and nanorods mainly of hexagonal shape as well as nanotubes and nanocombs were grown by vapor-solid method in a muffle furnace under the flow of high purity argon.
