Flat band potential determination of an electrolyte/semiconductor junction by an electro-optical method
When excitons have a lifetime sufficiently large at room temperature and when the semiconductor presents a uniform dopant distribution in the near surface region, if a convenient doping level is used ...

Free-to-bound transitions in Si-doped epitaxial Ga1−xAlxAs
We have studied silicon-doped Ga1−xAlxAs by low-temperature photoluminescence as a function of aluminum composition up to x ~0.4 and as a function of Si doping at x ~ 0.4. We have identified a d...

This paper evaluates the first-order Raman coefficient for a large number of zinc blende crystals from the measured values of two different sets of coefficients, namely, the elasto-optic and the electro-optic coefficients. First it validates after correction a previously obtained relation of the Raman coefficient with the elasto-optic coefficients. Then it presents a lattice dynamical relation for its evaluation from the linear electro-optic and the second-harmonic-generation coefficients. The two predictions of the first-order Raman coefficient are in agreement and compare favorably with available calculated values. The Raman coefficient is observed to be negative in all II-VI and III-V zinc blende crystals, and positive in the I-VII case.
