Abstract
The stochiometric mixture of evaporating materials for the $AgInSe_2$single crystal thin films were prepared from horizontal furnace. Using extrapolation method of X-ray diffraction patterns for the $AgInSe_2$polycrystal, it was found tetragonal structure whose lattice constant $a_0$ and $C_0$ were 6.092 $\AA$ and 11.688 $\AA$, respectively. To obtain the single crystal thin films of AgInSe$_2$, the mixed crystal was deposited on thoroughly etched semi-insulator GaAs(100) substrate by HWE system. The source and substrate temperature were fixed to $610^{\circ}C$ and $450^{\circ}C$ respectively, and the thickness of the single thin films was obtained to 3.8 $\mu\textrm{m}$. The crystallization of single crystal thin films was investigated by the photoluminescence (PL) and double crystal X-ray dirrfaction (DCXD). The Hall effect was measured by the method of van der Pauw and carrier density and mobility dependence on temperature were studied. The carrier density and mobility of $AgInSe_2$single crystal thin films deduced from Hall data are $9.58{\times}10^{22} electron/m^3,\; 3.42{\times}10^{-2}m^2/V{\cdot}s$ at 293 K, respectively. From the photocurrent spectrum by illumination of perpendicular light on the c-axis of the $AgInSe_2$single crystal thin film, the spin orbit coupling $\Delta$So and the crystal field splitting $\Delta$Cr were obtained to 0.29 eV and 0.12 eV at 20 K respectively. From PL peaks measured at 20 K, 881.1 nm (1.4071 eV) and 882.4 nm (1.4051 eV) mean $E_x^U$ the upper polariton and $E_x^L$ the lower polariton of the free exciton $(E_x)$, also 884.1 nm (1.402 eV) express $I_2 peak of donor-bound exciton emission and 885.9 nm (1.3995 Ev) emerges $I_1$ peak of acceptor-bound exciton emission. In addition, the peak observed at 887.5 nm (1.3970 eV) was analyzed to be PL peak due to DAP.
수평 전기로에서 $AgInSe_2$다결정을 합성하여 HWE(Hot Wall Epitaxy) 방법으로 $AgInSe_2$ 단결정 박막을 반절연성 GaAs(100) 위에 성장하였다. $AgInSe_2$단결정 박막은 증발원과 기판의 온도를 각각 $610^{\circ}C$, $450^{\circ}C$로 성장하였다. 이때 성장된 단결정 박막의 두께는 3.8$\mu\textrm{m}$였다. 단결정 박막의 결정성의 조사에서 20 K에서 측정한 광발광 스펙트럼은 884.1nm(1.4024eV) 근처에서 excition emission 스펙트럼이 가장 강하게 나타났으며, 또한 이중결정 X-선 회절곡선(DCXD)의 반폭치(FWHM)도 125arcsec로 매우 작은 값으로 측정되어 최적 성장 조건임을 알 수 있었다. Hall 효과는 van der Pauw 방법에 의해 측정되었으며, 온도에 의존하는 운반자 농도와 이동도는 293K에서 각각 $9.58{\times}10^{22} electron/m^3,\; 3.42{\times}10^{-2}m^2/V{\cdot}s$였다. $AgInSe_2$단결정 박막의 광전류 단파장대 봉우리들로부터 20K에서 측정된 $\Delta$Cr(Crystal field splitting)은 0.12eV, $\Delta$So(spin orbit coupling)는 0.29 eV였다. 20K에서 얻어진 광발광 봉우리들 중에서 881.1nm(1.4071 eV)와 882.4nm(1.4051 eV)는 free exciton$E_x$의 upper polariton과 lower polariton인$E_x^U$와 $E_x^L$를 의미하며, 884.1nm(1.4024 eV)는 donor-bound exciton emission에 의한 $I_2$봉우리를, 885.9nm(1.3995 eV)는 acceptor-bound exciton emission에 의한 $I_1$ 봉우리를 각각 나타내었다. 또한 887.5nm(1.3970 eV)에서 관측된 봉우리는 DAP(donor-acceptor pair)에 기인하는 광발광 봉우리로 해석되었다.
