In addition to the pursuit of high-quality single crystals and thin films, their application has to be preceded by a thorough understanding of their peculiar electronic structure. It is of fundamental interest to understand why these materials, transparent up to the UV spectral regime, behave also as conductors. Here we investigate In2O3 and Ga2O3, two binary oxides, which show the smallest and largest optical gaps among conventional n-type TCOs. The investigations on the electronic structure were performed on high-quality n-type single crystals showing carrier densities of ∼1019 cm-3 (In2O3) and ∼1017 cm-3(Ga2O3). The subjects addressed for both materials are: the determination of the band structure along high-symmetry directions and fundamental gaps by angular resolved photoemission (ARPES). We also address the orbital character of the valence- and conduction-band regions by exploiting photoemission cross.
- ItemStatic Dielectric Constant of β-Ga2O3 Perpendicular to the Principal Planes (100), (010), and (001)(Pennington, NJ : ECS, 2019) Fiedler, A.; Schewski, R.; Galazka, Z.; Irmscher, K.The relative static dielectric constant ℇr of β-Ga2O3 perpendicular to the planes (100), (010), and (001) is determined in the temperature range from 25 K to 500 K by measuring the AC capacitance of correspondingly oriented plate capacitor structures using test frequencies of up to 1 MHz. This allows a direct quantification of the static dielectric constant and a unique direction assignment of the obtained values. At room temperature, ℇr perpendicular to the planes (100), (010), and (001) amounts to 10.2 ± 0.2, 10.87 ± 0.08, and 12.4 ± 0.4, respectively, which clearly evidence the anisotropy expected for β-Ga2O3 due to its monoclinic crystal structure. An increase of ℇr by about 0.5 with increasing temperature from 25 K to 450 K was found for all orientations. Our ℇr data resolve the inconsistencies in the previously available literature data with regard to absolute values and their directional assignment and therefore provide a reliable basis for the simulation and design of devices. © The Author(s) 2019.
