    Notes: The depletion mode of opto-electronic modulation spectroscopy (OEMS), spectroscopically senses the electrical response to wavelength modulated monochromatic illumination as trap states in the depletion region of a semiconductor device are cyclically excited. The method is demonstrated using metal–Si3N4–GaAs field-effect transistors in which the charge in the gate depletion region is detected through its effect on the channel current. The optical transition energies of trap levels were revealed and the charge exchange mechanisms identified unambiguously by examining the phase of the detected signal with reference to the phase of the photon energy variation. In-phase responses originate from electron trap states while responses of opposite sign derive from hole traps. Many of the states corresponded closely in energy with ones previously reported in vapor-phase-epitaxy GaAs materials. Charge exchange with energetically discrete and continuously distributed traps is theoretically described when they are excited by photons having periodic energy modulation. The results indicate that the magnitude and phase of the OEMS response spectra are determined by the relative thermal and optical emission rates of trapped charges. Deep level transient spectroscopy (DLTS) measurements made on the same samples could not reveal the responses of bulk levels that the OEMS technique showed were present; this was because the DLTS spectra were dominated by the interface continuum response. This illustrates clearly an important advantage of the technique. The method is equally applicable to other devices in which a space-charge region regulates the channel current. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Thermal emission of charges has been studied in Si3N4-GaAs structures which were prepared using direct plasma-enhanced chemical-vapor deposition. A comparison has been made of the effects of predeposition plasma treatments using hydrogen, argon, and a mixture of the two. Channel current transient spectroscopy was used in the temperature range 77–350 K. All of the samples exhibited electron emission from an interface-state continuum with energies that were consistent with the interface-state-band model proposed by Hasegawa. When argon and hydrogen were used together two extra processes were observed. One of these was due to an electron trap with an activation energy of 0.05 eV; this response was from states at the remote edge of the depletion region several thousand angstroms from the interface. The necessity for argon and hydrogen suggests that argon had created structural damage permitting the entry of hydrogen atoms to form electrically active complexes in the damaged region. The second process which had an activation energy of 0.05 eV resembled hole emission but, because hole injection was an unlikely process, this observation has been attributed to an interfacial polarization process exhibiting thermally activated relaxation. The corresponding dipole moment per unit area was 1.0×1011 C m. Since this mechanism also required the action of argon and hydrogen it was concluded that this was damage related, with electrical activity produced by the hydrogen atoms.

    Notes: Co/Mn multilayers were prepared by rf sputtering onto single-crystal MgO and sapphire substrates resulting in, respectively, (001)- and (111)-oriented layers. The structure was thoroughly analyzed by x-ray scattering in various geometries (Q. Wang et al. to be published). For the magnetic investigations, ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) was applied. Complementary measurements employed the magneto-optical Kerr-effect (MOKE) and Faraday balance magnetometry. Results for the in-plane anisotropy, the surface anisotropy, the magnetization, and the FMR linewidth are presented. The comparison with other Co-based multilayer systems indicates that both the structural and the magnetic properties of the Co/Mn system are more complicated than in the case of systems with a presumably weaker electronic interaction at the interface [see also K. Ounadjela et al., Phys. Rev. B 49, 8561 (1994)]. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: 59Co and 55Mn NMR measurements have been made on a range of CoMn materials: dilute powder alloy, thin-film alloys, and multilayers. Our results suggest that in dilute alloys isolated atoms of Mn couple both ferro and antiferromagnetically to the Co host, with the latter producing a reduction in the magnitude of the Co hyperfine field of 17%. This reduction of hyperfine field appears similar for both the fcc and hcp phases of Co. NMR on Co/Mn sputtered multilayers shows large changes in the hyperfine field distribution between a film with Mn layers of 10 A(ring) and Mn layers of 30 A(ring). © 1996 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The static and dynamic properties of interface states between silicon nitride and n-GaAs have been studied. Comparisons have been made between interfaces that were untreated and ones which were plasma pretreated with Ar, N2, H2, and NH3. With the exception of hydrogen the pretreatments did not significantly alter the quiescent surface Fermi level position or the shape of the interface state distribution in the metal-insulator-semiconductor field effect transistor test structures. In all of the samples it required about 10 μs to complete the transfer of the induced charge from the bulk edge of the depletion region to the interface. Charge which had reached the interface equilibrated there within 100 ns. This charge gave rise to a relatively slow emission transient and had a thermal emission energy consistent with emission from the surface Fermi energy to the lower edge of an interface state band, in accord with the interface state band model. The extent in energy of this band depended on the surface treatment. The insensitivity of the emission time constant to both filling time and insulator electric field suggests that irrespective of the treatment the equilibrated charge remained at the interface and did not tunnel into the insulator. © 1995 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The structural and magnetic properties of Mn in Co/Mn (001) multilayers were investigated by x-ray scattering, by magneto-optical Kerr effect measurements, and with a Faraday balance. The multilayers were deposited by rf-sputtering on MgO(001) substrates. Small angle x-ray reflectivity scans and high angle Bragg scattering confirmed good layer quality and crystal coherence properties. In- and out-of-plane x-ray scattering revealed a coherent growth of face-centered-cubic (fcc) (or fct) Mn on fcc Co(001). The stability limit of the metastable fct Mn structure is about 20 A(ring) or 10 atomic layers. The magnetic exchange coupling appears to be partly antiferromagnetic with a first maximum located between 20 and 30 A(ring). Saturation magnetization measurements indicate no ferromagnetic moment for the fct Mn layers. Furthermore, the saturation moment per unit volume is reduced as compared to the bulk Co value, suggesting the presence of "dead layers'' at the Co/Mn interfaces. © 1995 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Thin epitaxial FexCo1−x alloy films sputtered on MgO(001) substrates were studied by x-ray scattering and by the magneto-optical Kerr effect in order to investigate the structural phase stability induced by the substrate and to relate the magnetic properties to the alloy film structure. Alloy films with a thickness of about 20 nm and concentrations from x=1 to x=0.3 exhibit a bcc (001) growth with the in-plane [100] axis parallel to the MgO[110] axis. For pure Co (x=0) a fcc (001) structure with the Co[100] axis parallel to the MgO[100] axis was obtained. For x=0.15 no out-of-plane or in-plane Bragg peak could be observed, possibly due to the bcc-fcc structural phase transition. Kerr rotation angles in saturation as a function of x reveal a shape similar to the Slater–Pauling curve. Magnetic hysteresis measurements reveal a fourfold anisotropy with easy axes parallel to the FexCo1−x[100] crystal axis for 1≥x≥0.8, and parallel to the FexCo1−x[110] crystal axis for 0.7≥x≥0.3. In pure Co the easy axis lies parallel to the fcc-Co[110] crystal axis. Finally, for x=0.28 a step in the magnetic hysteresis in the FexCo1−x[11¯0] direction indicates an overlap of a fourfold and twofold magnetic anisotropy. © 1995 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: We present an integral-equation solution of the structure of systems built through the sequential quenching of particles. The theory is based on the Replica Ornstein–Zernike equations that describe the structure of equilibrium fluids within random porous matrices. The quenched particles are treated as a polydisperse system, each of them labeled by the total density at the time of its arrival. The diagrammatic expansions of the correlation functions lead to the development of the liquid-theory closures appropriate for the present case. Numerical solutions for the deposition of hard disks show excellent agreement with simulation. We also discuss a binary-mixture treatment, which is shown to provide a very good approximation to the polydisperse approach. © 2000 American Institute of Physics.
