Debye-Waller Effects in Bethe-Salpeter Calculations

March 3, 2024
Author(s)
Eric Shirley, Joseph Woicik
We present a method to incorporate Debye-Waller effects on core-excitation spectra in methods other than real-space multiple scattering formulations. The method draws ideas from multiple-scattering theory to realize effects of variations in interatomic

Lattice vibrations and the energy landscape of the isoelectronic semiconductor series CuBr, ZnSe, GaAs, and Ge: The special case of CuBr and its d-level chemistry

November 9, 2023
Author(s)
Joseph Woicik, Eric J. Cockayne, Eric L. Shirley, Igor Levin, Conan Weiland, Bruce D. Ravel, A. M. Milinda Abeykoon
We have examined the lattice vibrations and the energy landscape of the isoelectronic diamond and zincblende semiconductor series CuBr, ZnSe, GaAs, and Ge. Vibrations are found to be an increasing function of ionicity, with the cation sublattice always

Interface formation and Schottky barrier height for Y, Nb, Au, and Pt on Ge as determined by hard x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy

January 6, 2023
Author(s)
Abdul Rumaiz, Ian Harding, Conan Weiland, Neha Nooman, Thomas Krings, Ethan Hull, Gabriele Giacomini, Wei Chen, Eric J. Cockayne, D. Peter Simmons, Joseph Woicik
Development of a robust, thin, hole-blocking (n+) contact on high purity germanium (HPGe) has been the main challenge in the development of Ge-based radiation sensors. Yttrium has been reported to be a viable hole-blocking contact on HPGe, and detectors

Noble-metal dark-edge fermiology: core-hole memory and the "Zeeman Auger" effect

January 12, 2022
Author(s)
Eric L. Shirley, Joseph Woicik, Conan Weiland, Ahmed Rumaiz, Charles Cardot, Joshua Kas, John Rehr
Gold and platinum have the face-centered-cubic crystal structure, are considered noble metals, and differ by one in atomic number. Near-edge M4,5 x-ray absorption and resonant M4,5N6,7N6,7 Auger spectroscopy reveal "dark" edges and a photon-energy

c-Axis Oriented Epitaxial BaTiO 3 Films on (001) Si

October 12, 2021
Author(s)
V Vaithyanathan, J Lettieri, W Tian, A Kochhar, H Ma, A Sharan, A Vasudevarao, J. A. Aust, Y Li, Long-Qing Chen, P Zschack, Joseph Woicik
c-axis oriented epitaxial films of the ferroelectric BaTiO3 have been grown on (001) Si by reactive molecular-beam epitaxy (MBE). The orientation relationship between the film and substrate is (001) BaTiO3 // (001) Si and [100] BaTiO3 // [110] Si. The

Chemical Analysis of HfO 2 / Si (100) Film Systems Exposed to NH 3 Thermal Processing

October 12, 2021
Author(s)
Patrick S. Lysaght, Joseph Woicik, Daniel A. Fischer, Gennadi Bersuker, Joel Barnett, Brendan Foran, Hsing-Huang Tseng, Raj Jammy
Nitrogen incorporation in HfO2/SiO2 films utilized as high-k gate dielectric layers in advanced metal-oxide field-effect transistors (MOSFETs) has been investigated. Thin HfO2 blanket films deposited by atomic layer deposition on either SiO2 or NH3 treated

Displacive Phase Transition in SrTiO 3 Thin Films Grown on Si(001)

October 12, 2021
Author(s)
F S. Aguirre-Tostado, A Herrera-Gomez, Joseph Woicik, R Droopad, Z Yu, D G. Schlom, E Karapetrova, P Zschack
Polarization dependent x-ray absorption fine structure measurements performed at the Ti K edge together with x-ray diffraction have been used to study the local structure in SrTiO3 thin films grown epitaxially on Si(001). SrTiO3 layers on Si(001) are found

Dopant Location Identification in Nd 3+ -Doped TiO 2 Nanoparticles

October 12, 2021
Author(s)
W Li, A I. Frenkel, Joseph Woicik, C Ni, S I. Shah
Doping large bandgap semiconductors is typically done in order to enhance photocatalytic, photovoltaic and other chemical and optoelectronic properties. The identification of dopant position and its local environment is essential to exploring the doping

Effects of Solution pH and Surface Chemistry on the Post-Deposition Growth of Chemical Bath Deposited PbSe Nanocrystalline Films

October 12, 2021
Author(s)
Shaibai K. Sarkar, Shifi Kababya, Shimon Vega, Hagal Cohen, Joseph Woicik, A I. Frenkel, Gary Hodes
Chemical bath deposited PbSe films were subjected to post-deposition treatment with aqueous (typically 0.25 - 0.5 M) KOH. For films deposited using a citrate complex, this treatment resulted in dissolution of surface lead oxides (seen from XPS and EXAFS
