Accurate characterization of charged impurity centers is of importance for electronic devices and materials. The role of valley-spin degeneracy on the screening of an attractive ion by the mobile carriers is assessed within a range of systems from spin-polarized single valley to six valley. The screening is treated using the self-consistent local-field correction of Singwi, Tosi, Land, and Sjolander, known as STLS. The bound electron wave function is formulated in the form of an integral equation. Friedel oscillations are seen to be influential especially in two dimensions that cannot be adequately accounted for by the hydrogenic Variational approaches. Our results show appreciable differences at certain densities with respect tb simplified techniques, resulting mainly in the enhancement of the impurity binding energies. The calculated Mott constants are provided where available. The main conclusion of the paper is the substantial dependence of the charged-impurity binding energy on the valley-spin degeneracy in the presence of screening.

Study of trapping and recombination centres in Tl2InGaTe4 chain crystals by dark electrical conductivity and photoconductivity measurements QASRAWI, ATEF FAYEZ HASAN; Hasanlı, Nızamı (Informa UK Limited, 2007-01-01) Dark electrical conductivity and photoconductivity of Tl2InGaTe4 single crystals have been measured and analyzed in the temperature region 100-300 K. The dark electrical conductivity measurements revealed an intrinsic- or extrinsic-type of conductivity above or below 210 K, respectively. From intrinsic conductivity data analysis, the energy band gap of Tl2InGaTe4 crystals was determined as 0.85 eV. In the extrinsic region, the dark conductivity arises from a donor energy level located at 0.30 eV below the c...
Influence of mutual drag of the carrier-phonon system on the thermopower and transverse Nernst-Ettingshausen effect Babaev, MM; Gassym, TM; Tas, M; Tomak, Mehmet (American Physical Society (APS), 2003-03-15) The thermopower and Nernst-Ettingshausen (NE) effect in degenerate semiconductors and semimetals placed in high electric and magnetic fields are calculated by taking into account the heating of both electrons and phonons as well as their thermal and mutual drags. The magnetic and electric field dependences of the thermoelectric power and the transverse NE voltage are found in analytical forms. It is shown that in weak and high transverse magnetic fields, the electronic and phonon parts of the NE coefficient...
Transport studies of carbon-rich a-SiCx : H film through admittance and deep-level transient spectroscopy measurements Atilgan, I; Ozdemir, O; Akaoglu, B; Sel, K; Katircioglu, B (Informa UK Limited, 2006-07-01) An intrinsic, carbon- rich a- SiCx: H thin film, prepared by the plasma- enhanced chemical vapour deposition ( PECVD) technique, has been studied mainly by AC admittance and small- pulse deep- level transient spectroscopy ( DLTS) measurements on an Al/ a- SiCx: H/ p- Si metal - insulator - semiconductor ( MIS) structure. The effects of measurement temperature, voltage and small- signal AC modulation frequency on the MIS capacitor are qualitatively and quantitatively described. The kinetics of charge injecti...
Study of physically transient insulating materials as a potential platform for transient electronics and bioelectronics ACAR, Handan; Çınar, Simge; Thunga, Mahendra; KESSLER, Michael R.; HASHEMI, Nastaran; MONTAZAMI, Reza (Wiley, 2014-07-09) Controlled degradation and transiency of materials is of significant importance in the design and fabrication of degradable and transient biomedical and electronic devices and platforms. Here, the synthesis of programmable biodegradable and transient insulating polymer films is reported, which have sufficient physical and chemical properties to be used as substrates for the construction of transient electronics. The composite structure can be used as a means to control the dissolution and transiency rate of...
Transition from periodic to chaotic oscillations in a planar gas discharge-semiconductor system Yuan, Chengxun; Yeşil, Cihan; Yao, Jingfeng; Zhou, Zhongxiang; Rafatov, İsmail (IOP Publishing, 2020-06-01) The work studies the transition from periodic to chaotic oscillations in a dc-driven planar gas discharge with a high-ohmic electrode. The applied voltage and resistance of the semiconductor layer act as control parameters. The oscillations occur in the subnormal discharge regime. The bifurcation diagram and Lorenz map characterizing transition of this system to chaos through period-doubling bifurcations are obtained. Numerical models employed are based on the drift-diffusion theory of gas discharges. The e...
