A new source and drain architecture based on metallic contacts over silicon was proposed to replace conventional highly doped extensions. To real- ize such a device, the so-called Schottky barrier (SB) MOSFET, requires working with materials presenting low Schottky barrier heights (SBH) to silicon. For n-type MOSFETs, rare-earth silicides, alloys between silicon and a rare-earth metal, are the best candidates. For Schottky barrier MOSFETs to compete with conventional ones in terms of on- and off- currents, the SBH of rare-earth silicides is intrinsically still too high and must accordingly be further reduced. Such a barrier decrease can be achieved with the dopant segregation technique, where a thin dopant layer is interposed between the silicide and silicon.

HYDROTHERMAL CRYSTAL GROWTH OF METAL BORATES FOR OPTICAL APPLICATIONS A Dissertation Presented to the Graduate School of Clemson University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy Chemistry by Carla Charisse Heyward August 2013 Accepted by: Dr. Joseph Kolis, Committee Chair Dr. Shiou-Jyh Hwu Dr. Andrew Tennyson Dr. Gautam Bhattacharyya ABSTRACT Crystals are the heart of the development of advance technology. Their existence is the essential foundation in the electronic field and without it there would be little to no progress in a variety of industries including the military, medical, and technology fields. The discovery of a variety of new materials with unique properties has contributed significantly to the rapidly advancing solid state laser field. Progress in the crystal growth methods has allowed the growth of crystals once plagued by difficulties as well as the growth of materials that generate coherent light in spectral regions where efficient laser sources are unavailable. The collaborative progress warrants the growth of new materials for new applications in the deep UV region.

University Ave, The University of Texas at El Paso, El Paso, TX 79968, USA; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +1-970-491-5370 Received: 23 March 2019; Accepted: 2 April 2019; Published: 7 April 2019 Abstract: We report on the crystal growth of rare-earth pyrosilicates, R2Si2O7 for R = Yb and Er using the optical floating zone method. The grown crystals comprise members from the family of pyrosilicates where the rare-earth atoms form a distorted honeycomb lattice. C-Yb2Si2O7 is a quantum dimer magnet with field-induced long range magnetic order, while D-Er2Si2O7 is an Ising-type antiferromagnet. Both growths resulted in multi-crystal boules, with cracks forming between the different crystal orientations. The Yb2Si2O7 crystals form the C-type rare-earth pyrosilicate structure with space group C2/m and are colorless and transparent or milky white, whereas the Er-variant 3+ is D-type, P21/b, and has a pink hue originating from Er . The crystal structures of the grown single crystals were confirmed through a Rietveld analysis of the powder X-ray diffraction patterns from pulverized crystals.

    NBS MONOGRAPH 25— SECTION 2 Standard X-ray Diffraction Powder Patterns U.S. DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE NATIONAL BUREAU OF STANDARDS THE NATIONAL BUREAU OF STANDARDS Functions and Activities The functions of the National Bureau of Standards are set forth in the Act of Congress, March 3, 1901, as amended by Congress in Public Law 619, 1950. These include the development and maintenance of the national standards of measurement and the provision of means and methods for making measurements consistent with these standards; the determination of physical constants and properties of materials; the development of methods and instruments for testing materials, devices, and structures; advisory services to government agencies on scientific and technical problems; invention and development of devices to serve special needs of the Government; and the development of standard practices, codes» and specifications. The work includes basic and applied research, development, engineering, instrumentation, testing, evaluation, calibration services, and various consultation and information services. Research projects are also performed for other government agencies when the work relates to and supplements the basic program of the Bureau or when the Bureau's unique competence is required. The scope of activities is suggested by the listing of divisions and sections on the inside of the back cover. Publications The results of the Bureau's research are published either in the Bureau's own series of publications or in the journals of professional and scientific societies. The Bureau itself publishes three periodicals available from the Government Printing Office: The Journal of Research, published in four separate sections, presents complete scientific and technical papers ; the Technical News Bulletin presents summary and preliminary reports on work in progress ; and Central Radio Propagation Laboratory Ionospheric Predictions provides data for determining the best frequencies to use for radiocom- munications throughout the world.

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations. 9707. https://lib.dr.iastate.edu/rtd/9707 This Dissertation is brought to you for free and open access by the Iowa State University Capstones, Theses and Dissertations at Iowa State University Digital Repository. It has been accepted for inclusion in Retrospective Theses and Dissertations by an authorized administrator of Iowa State University Digital Repository. For more information, please contact [email protected]. INFORMATION TO USERS The most advanced technology has been used to photo­ graph and reproduce this manuscript from the microfilm master. UMI films the original text directly from the copy submitted. Thus, some dissertation copies are in typewriter face, while others may be from a computer printer. In the unlikely event that the author did not send UMI a complete manuscript and there are missing pages, these will be noted. Also, if unauthorized copyrighted material had to be removed, a note will indicate the deletion. Oversize materials (e.g., maps, drawings, charts) are re­ produced by sectioning the original, beginning at the upper left-hand comer and continuing from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. Each oversize page is available as one exposure on a standard 35 mm slide or as a 17" x 23" black and white photographic print for an additional charge.

  • Crystal Growth and Optical Properties of Ce-Doped (La,Y)2Si2o7 Single Crystal
    Crystal growth and optical properties of Ce-doped (La,Y)2Si2O7 single crystal Takahiko Horiai1,*, Juraj Paterek1, Jan Pejchal1, Marketa Jarosova1, Jan Rohlicek1, Shunsuke Kurosawa2,3, Takashi Hanada2, Masao Yoshino2, Akihiro Yamaji2,3, Satoshi Toyoda2,3, Hiroki Sato2,3, Yuji Ohashi2,3, Kei Kamada3,4, Yuui Yokota2, Akira Yoshikawa2,3,4, and Martin Nikl1 1 Institute of Physics, Czech Academy of Sciences, Cukrovarnicka 10, Prague, Czech Republic 2 Institute for Materials Research, Tohoku University, 2-1-1 Katahira, Sendai, Japan 3 New Industry Creation Hatchery Center, Tohoku University, 6-6-10 Aoba, Sendai, Japan 4 C&A corporation, 1-16-23 Ichibancho, Sendai, Japan *E-mail: [email protected] Abstract We have grown Ce-doped (La,Y)2Si2O7 single crystal by micro-pulling-down method and investigated its optical and scintillation properties. We have successfully prepared the single crystal with (Ce0.015La0.600Y0.385)2Si2O7 composition. The observed thermal quenching process could be characterized by the quenching temperature (T50%) of 526 K and its activation energy was determined to be 0.62 eV. Further considering the thermal quenching factors, it was found that the thermal quenching was caused by at least the thermal ionization and maybe also by classical thermal quenching. The light output and scintillation decay time were evaluated to be ~12,000 photons/MeV and ~42 ns, respectively. These results indicate that (Ce0.015La0.600Y0.385)2Si2O7 has a great potential for application in scintillation materials. Keywords A2. Growth from melt; Seed crystals; Single crystal growth; B1. Oxides; B2. Scintillator materials Introduction Scintillation crystals convert energy of ionizing radiation to ultra-violet or visible light, and are widely used in radiation detector applications such as oil well logging, medical imaging and high energy physics [1-5].
