Abstract
A stoichiometric mixture of evaporating materials for $ZnIn_2Se_4$ single crystal thin films was prepared from horizontal electric furnace. To obtain the single crystal thin films, $ZnIn_2Se_4$ mixed crystal was deposited on thoroughly etched semi-insulating GaAs(100) substrate by the Hot Wall Epitaxy (HWE) system. The source and substrate temperatures were $630^{\circ}C$ and $400^{\circ}C$, respectively. The crystalline structure of the single crystal thin films was investigated by the photoluminescence and double crystal X-ray diffraction (DCXD). The carrier density and mobility of $ZnIn_2Se_4$ single crystal thin films measured from Hall effect by van der Pauw method are $9.41\times10^{16}cm^{-3}$ and $292cm^2/v{\cdot}s$ at 293 K, respectively. The temperature dependence of the energy band gap of the $ZnIn_2Se_4$ obtained from the absorption spectra was well described by the Varshni's relation, $E_g(T)=1.8622eV-(5.23\times10^{-4}eV/K)T^2/(T+775.5K)$. The crystal field and the spin-orbit splitting energies for the valence band of the $ZnIn_2Se_4$ have been estimated to be 182.7 meV and 42.6 meV, respectively, by means of the photocurrent spectra and the Hopfield quasicubic model. These results indicate that the splitting of the ${\Delta}so$ definitely exists in the ${\Gamma}_5$ states of the valence band of the $ZnIn_2Se_4/GaAs$ epilayer. The three photo current peaks observed at 10 K are ascribed to the $A_{1}-$, $B_{1}-exciton$ for n = 1 and $C_{27}-exciton$ peaks for n = 27.
수평 전기로에서 $ZnIn_2Se_4$ 단결정을 합성하여 HWE(Hot Wall Epitaxy)방법으로 $ZnIn_2Se_4$ 단결정 박막을 반절연성 GaAs(100) 기판에 성장시켰다. $ZnIn_2Se_4$ 단결정 박막의 성장 조건을 증발원의 온도 $630^{\circ}C$, 기판의 온도 $400^{\circ}C$였고 성장 속도는 0.5 $\mu m/hr$였다. $ZnIn_2Se_4$ 단결정 박막의 결정성의 조사에서 10K에서 광발광(photoluminescence) 스펙트럼이 682.7nm ($1.816{\underline{1}}eV$)에서 exciton emission 스펙트럼이 가장 강하게 나타났으며, 또한 이중결정 X-선 요통곡선(DCRC)의 반폭치(FWHM)도 128 arcsec로 가장 작아 최적 성장 조건임을 알 수 있었다. Hall 효과는 van der Pauw 방법에 의해 측정되었으며, 온도에 의존하는 운반자 농노와 이동도는 293 K에서 각각 $9.41\times10^{16}/cm^{-3}$, $292cm^2/V{\cdot}s$였다. $ZnIn_2Se_4$/SI(Semi-Insulated) GaAs(100) 단결정 박막의 광흡수와 광전류 spectra를 293 K에서 10K까지 측정하였다. 광흡수 스펙트럼으로부터 band gap $E_g(T)$는 varshni공식에 따라 계산한 결과 $E_g(T)=1.8622\;eV-(5.23\times10^{-4}eV/K)T^2/(T+775.5K)$ 이었으며 광전류 스펙트럼으로부터 Hamilton matrix(Hopfield quasicubic mode)법으로 계산한 결과 crystal field splitting energy ${\Delta}cr$값이 182.7meV이며 spin-orbit energy ${\Delta} so$값은 42.6meV임을 확인하였다. 10 K일 때 광전류 봉우리들은 n= 1, 27일때 $A_{1}-$, $B_{1}-$와 $C_{27}-exciton$ 봉우리임을 알았다.
