Electronic structures and magnetic properties of EuX ( X = O, S, Se and Te) are investigated by the plane-wave pseudopotential method with explicit account for Coulomb repulsion within the 4f shell, and compared with other theoretical and experimental results. All the EuX compounds are magnetic semiconductors with noticeable indirect Gamma-X gap. Ferromagnetic ordering is observed for EuO and EuS while antiferromagnetic ordering along [111] is the ground state for EuSe and EuTe. These results are consistent with the experiments, although previous calculations indicated that the ground state of EuS is antiferromagnetic. The exchange parameters are calculated, and are in fair agreement with experimental results. Copyright (C) EPLA, 2008

Li+ Solvation Mediated Interfacial Kinetic of Alloying Matrix for Stable Li Anodes

Xingyi Wang, Kailin Luo, Lixin Xiong, Tengpeng Xiong, Zhendong Li, Jie Sun, Haiyong He, Chuying Ouyang, Zhe Peng

Summary: This study investigates the synergistic effect of functional alloying structure and Li+ solvation mediated interfacial kinetic on lithium metal protection. By constructing a Li alloy matrix with a bi-functional silver-Li3N blended interface, fast Li+ conductivity and high Li affinity can be achieved, leading to decreased nucleation and mass transfer-controlled overpotentials. Additionally, the inward diffusion depth of Li adatoms inside Ag sites can be limited by the Li+ solvation structure, thus elongating the Li protection ability of the Ag-Li3N interface.

One ε-Ga2O3-based solar-blind Schottky photodetector emphasizing high photocurrent gain and photocurrent-intensity linearity

Yue-Hua An, Zhen-Sen Gao, Yu Guo, Shao-Hui Zhang, Zeng Liu, Wei-Hua Tang

Summary: The epsilon-Ga2O3 thin film was grown on a sapphire substrate using MOCVD method, and then utilized for the fabrication of a DUV photodetector. The thin film exhibited good crystal quality and surface morphology. The photodetector showed excellent optoelectronic performance and high wavelength selectivity when exposed to 254-nm DUV light, with a photoresponsivity of 175.69 A/W, detectivity of 2.46 x 10(15) Jones, EQE of 8.6 x 10(4)%, and good photocurrent-intensity linearity. At 5 V and under illumination with 800 mu W/cm(2) light intensity, a photocurrent gain as high as 859 was achieved due to the recycling gain mechanism and delayed carrier recombination; however, the photocurrent gain decreased with increasing incident light intensity due to the recombination of photogenerated carriers by the large photon flux.

Enhanced gain and detectivity of unipolar barrier solar blind avalanche photodetector via lattice and band engineering

Qingyi Zhang, Ning Li, Tao Zhang, Dianmeng Dong, Yongtao Yang, Yuehui Wang, Zhengang Dong, Jiaying Shen, Tianhong Zhou, Yuanlin Liang, Weihua Tang, Zhenping Wu, Yang Zhang, Jianhua Hao

Summary: By lattice and band engineering, Zhang et al. constructed a unipolar barrier avalanche photodiode with suppressed dark current and reinforced reverse breakdown. Ga2O3-based solar blind avalanche photodetectors exhibit low voltage operation, optical filter-free and monolithic integration of photodetector arrays, and therefore they are promising to be an alternative to the bulky and fragile photomultiplier tubes for weak signal detection in deep-ultraviolet region. These findings provide insights into precise manipulation of band alignment in avalanche photodetectors, and also offer exciting opportunities for further developing high-performance Ga2O3-based electronics and optoelectronics.
