Structural vacancies and their local atomic environment in the Zn-Mg-Sc alloy system studied by positron annihilation spectroscopy

Journal Article Sato, K ; Kobayashi, Y ; Takagiwa, Y ; ... - Physical Review. B, Condensed Matter and Materials Physics

Recently discovered P-type icosahedral quasicrystal Zn{sub 80}Mg{sub 5}Sc{sub 15} of high structural perfection and its crystalline 1/1-approximant Zn{sub 85}Sc{sub 15} are investigated by positron annihilation spectroscopy. Positrons are trapped by high concentration of the vacancy-type sites surrounded by Zn atoms in both the quasicrystal and approximant. Based on the atomic structure of the approximant, the vacancy-type sites are identified to be inside the dodecahedral 20 Zn first shell, suggesting that the quasicrystal is composed of the same cluster units as the approximant. In contrast to the proposed structure model of Zn{sub 85}Sc{sub 15} where inside of the dodecahedral first shellmore »« less

Probing defects in chemically synthesized ZnO nanostrucures by positron annihilation and photoluminescence spectroscopy

Journal Article Chaudhuri, S K ; Das, D ; Ghosh, Manoranjan ; ... - Journal of Applied Physics

The present article describes the size induced changes in the structural arrangement of intrinsic defects present in chemically synthesized ZnO nanoparticles of various sizes. Routine x-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy have been performed to determine the shapes and sizes of the nanocrystalline ZnO samples. Detailed studies using positron annihilation spectroscopy reveals the presence of zinc vacancy. Whereas analysis of photoluminescence results predict the signature of charged oxygen vacancies. The size induced changes in positron parameters as well as the photoluminescence properties, has shown contrasting or nonmonotonous trends as size varies from 4 to 85 nm.

Positron annihilation study of vacancy-type defects in Al single crystal foils with the tweed structures across the surface

Journal Article Kuznetsov, Pavel ; Institute of Strength Physics and Materials Science SB RAS, Tomsk, 634055 ; Cizek, Jacub ; ... - AIP Conference Proceedings

The vacancy-type defects in the aluminum single crystal foils after a series of the cyclic tensions were studied using positron annihilation. Two components were identified in the positron lifetime spectra associated with the annihilation of free positrons and positrons trapped by dislocations. With increasing number of cycles the dislocation density firstly increases and reaches a maximum value at N = 10 000 cycles but then it gradually decreases and at N = 70 000 cycles falls down to the level typical for the virgin samples. The direct evidence on the formation of a two-phase system “defective near-surface layer/base Al crystal” in aluminummore »« less

Formation of high concentrations of isolated Zn vacancies and evidence for their acceptor levels in ZnO

Journal Article Parmar, Narendra S. ; Choil, Ji-Won ; Boatner, Lynn A. ; ... - Journal of Alloys and Compounds

Here, research is described here that is directed toward obtaining p-type ZnO crystals either by doping or by creating native defects. Theoretically, zinc vacancies are shallow acceptors that should allow for p-type conduction. Bulk ZnO crystals can be grown by chemical vapor transport (CVT), melt solidification, and hydrothermal methods. Here we have explored annealing processes with the goal of creating zinc vacancies in bulk ZnO crystals. Positron annihilation spectra reveal the reproducible formation of high concentrations (>10²⁰ cm^–3) of isolated zinc vacancies (V_Zn) in oxygen-annealed, CVT-grown ZnO crystals in the ~100–150 nm near-surface. Melt- and hydrothermally grown samples, in contrast,more »« less

Single crystal growth of Ga[subscript 2](Se[subscript x]Te[subscript 1;#8722;x])[subscript 3] semiconductors and defect studies via positron annihilation spectroscopy

Journal Article Abdul-Jabbar, N M ; Bourret-Courchesne, E D ; Wirth, B D ; ... - J. Cryst. Growth

Small single crystals of Ga{sub 2}(Se{sub x}Te{sub 1-x}){sub 3} semiconductors, for x = 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, were obtained via modified Bridgman growth techniques. High resolution powder x-ray diffractometry confirms a zincblende cubic structure, with additional satellite peaks observed near the (111) Bragg line. This suggests the presence of ordered vacancy planes along the [111] direction that have been previously observed in Ga{sub 2}Te{sub 3}. Defect studies via positron annihilation spectroscopy show an average positron lifetime of {approx} 400 ps in bulk as-grown specimens. Such a large lifetime suggests that the positron annihilation sites in these materials are dominated by defects.more »« less
