Calculated electronic, transport, and related properties of zinc blende boron arsenide (zb-BAs)

Journal Article Nwigboji, Ifeanyi H. ; Malozovsky, Yuriy ; Franklin, Lashounda ; ... - Journal of Applied Physics

Here, we present the results from ab-initio, self-consistent density functional theory (DFT) calculations of electronic, transport, and bulk properties of zinc blende boron arsenide. We utilized the local density approximation potential of Ceperley and Alder, as parameterized by Vosko and his group, the linear combination of Gaussian orbitals formalism, and the Bagayoko, Zhao, and Williams (BZW) method, as enhanced by Ekuma and Franklin (BZW-EF), in carrying out our completely self-consistent calculations. With this method, the results of our calculations have the full, physical content of density functional theory (DFT). Our results include electronic energy bands, densities of states, effective masses,more »« less

First Principle Investigation of Electronic, Transport, and Bulk Properties of Zinc-Blende Magnesium Sulfide

Journal Article Bhandari, Uttam ; Ayirizia, Blaise Awola ; Malozovsky, Yuriy ; ... - Electronics

We have studied electronic, structural, and transport properties of zinc-blende magnesium sulfide (zb-MgS). We employed a local density approximation (LDA) potential and the linear combination of atomic orbitals (LCAO) method. Our computational method is able to reach the ground state of a material, as dictated by the second theorem of density functional theory (DFT). Consequently, our findings have the physical content of DFT and agree with available, corresponding experimental ones. The calculated band gap of zb-MgS, a direct gap equal to 4.43 eV, obtained at the experimental lattice constant of 5.620 Å, completely agrees with the experimental band gap ofmore »« less

Monte Carlo calculation of electron initiated impact ionization in bulk zinc-blende and wurtzite GaN

Journal Article Kolnik, J ; Oguzman, I H ; Brennan, K F ; ... - Journal of Applied Physics

Calculations of the high-field electronic transport properties of bulk zinc-blende and wurtzite phase gallium nitride are presented focusing particularly on the electron initiated impact ionization rate. The calculations are performed using ensemble Monte Carlo simulations, which include the full details of the band structure derived from an empirical pseudopotential method. The model also includes the numerically generated electron impact ionization transition rate, calculated based on the pseudopotential band structures for both crystallographic phases. The electron initiated impact ionization coefficients are calculated as a function of the applied electric field. The electron distribution is found to be cooler and the ionizationmore »« less

The steady-state and transient electron transport within bulk zinc-blende indium nitride: The impact of crystal temperature and doping concentration variations

Journal Article Siddiqua, Poppy ; O'Leary, Stephen K., E-mail: stephen.oleary@ubc.ca - Journal of Applied Physics

Within the framework of a semi-classical three-valley Monte Carlo electron transport simulation approach, we analyze the steady-state and transient aspects of the electron transport within bulk zinc-blende indium nitride, with a focus on the response to variations in the crystal temperature and the doping concentration. We find that while the electron transport associated with zinc-blende InN is highly sensitive to the crystal temperature, it is not very sensitive to the doping concentration selection. The device consequences of these results are then explored.

The sensitivity of the electron transport within bulk zinc-blende gallium nitride to variations in the crystal temperature, the doping concentration, and the non-parabolicity coefficient associated with the lowest energy conduction band valley

Journal Article Siddiqua, Poppy ; O'Leary, Stephen K., E-mail: stephen.oleary@ubc.ca - Journal of Applied Physics

Within the framework of a semi-classical three-valley Monte Carlo simulation approach, we analyze the steady-state and transient electron transport that occurs within bulk zinc-blende gallium nitride. In particular, we examine how the steady-state and transient electron transport that occurs within this material changes in response to variations in the crystal temperature, the doping concentration, and the non-parabolicity coefficient associated with the lowest energy conduction band valley. These results are then contrasted with those corresponding to a number of other compound semiconductors of interest.
