Two series of LiNbO3:Mg:B crystals have been grown and studied. Two doping methods—have been used. The crystals—have been co-doped with Mg and a non-metallic dopant, B. The physicochemical features of the growth—have been considered...

For bulk doping, boron and phosphorus are usually used as p-type and n-type dopants, respectively. The distribution of these dopant concentrations in a silicon crystal along the vertical direction is governed by the segregation phenomena. As the segr...

The distribution of dopants and impurities in silicon grown with the floating zone method determines the electrical resistivity and other important properties of the crystals. A crucial process that defines the transport of these species is the segre...

The determination of optical parameters, such as absorption and extinction coefficients, refractive index and the bandgap energy, is crucial to understand the behavior and final efficiency of thin film solar cells based on hydrogenated amorphous sili...

Superficial modifications on silicon wafers produced by single-shot focused femtosecond laser irradiation having a 1030 nm wavelength and 300 fs pulse duration were experimentally and theoretically analyzed. The laser fluence window when the amorphou...

In fabricating advanced silicon (Si)-based metal–oxide semiconductors, the ability to inspect dopant distribution in Si ultrathin films (tens of nm) is crucial for monitoring the amount of dopant diffusion. Here, we perform an anisotropic refle...

Here, we report on the opportunity to suppress Yb3+ to Yb2+ dopant-ion reduction in LiYbxY1−xF4 mixed crystals during growth processes, using the Bridgmen–Stocbarger technique in graphite crucibles in vacuum. This was carried out by the a...

This article is devoted to the study of the effect of ion sputtering on the alloy surface, using the example of martensitic stainless steel AISI 420 with ultrahigh-dose, high-intensity nitrogen ion implantation on the efficiency of accumulation and t...

The numerical modelling of the melt flow in Si crystal growth plays an important role for improving the resistivity distribution of crystals grown in industrial processes. However, recent series of experiments have shown that the existing numerical m...

Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) have unique thermal and electrical properties. Coating them with a thin metal layer can provide promising materials for many applications. This study presents a bio-inspired, environmentally friendly technique...

To explore the photocatalytic performances and optoelectronic properties of pure and doped bismuth oxyhalides D-doped BiOX (D = Ag, Pd; X = F, Cl, Br, I) compounds, their atomic properties, electronic structures, and optical properties were systemati...
