Abnormal drop in electrical resistivity with impurity doping of single-crystal Ag.

ABSTRACT: Resistivity is an intrinsic feature that specifies the electrical properties of a material and depends on electron-phonon scattering near room temperature. Reducing the resistivity of a metal to its potentially lowest value requires eliminating grain boundaries and impurities, but to date few studies have focused on reducing the intrinsic resistivity of a pure metal itself. We could reduce the intrinsic resistivity of single-crystal Ag, which has an almost perfect structure, by impurity doping it with Cu. This paper presents our results: resistivity was reduced to 1.35 ?? · cm at room temperature after 3 mol% Cu-doping of single-crystal Ag. Various mechanisms were examined in an attempt to explain the abnormal behavior.

Crystallographic anisotropy of the resistivity size effect in single crystal tungsten nanowires.

Project description:This work demonstrates an anisotropic increase in resistivity with decreasing width in single crystal tungsten (W) nanowires having a height of 21 nm. Nanowire-widths were in the range of 15-451 nm, with the anisotropy observed for widths below 50 nm. The longitudinal directions of the nanowires coincided with the <100>, <110> and <111> orientations of the body centered cubic phase of W. The resistivity increase was observed to be minimized for the <111>-oriented single crystal nanowires, exhibiting a factor of two lower increase in resistivity at a width of ~15 nm, relative to the thin film resistivity (i.e., an infinitely wide wire). The observed anisotropy is attributed to crystallographic anisotropy of the Fermi velocity and the resultant anisotropy of the electron mean free path in W, and underscores the critical role of crystallographic orientation in nanoscale metallic conduction.

Scenario Evaluator for Electrical Resistivity Survey Pre-modeling Tool.

Project description:Geophysical tools have much to offer users in environmental, water resource, and geotechnical fields; however, techniques such as electrical resistivity imaging (ERI) are often oversold and/or overinterpreted due to a lack of understanding of the limitations of the techniques, such as the appropriate depth intervals or resolution of the methods. The relationship between ERI data and resistivity is nonlinear; therefore, these limitations depend on site conditions and survey design and are best assessed through forward and inverse modeling exercises prior to field investigations. In this approach, proposed field surveys are first numerically simulated given the expected electrical properties of the site, and the resulting hypothetical data are then analyzed using inverse models. Performing ERI forward/inverse modeling, however, requires substantial expertise and can take many hours to implement. We present a new spreadsheet-based tool, the Scenario Evaluator for Electrical Resistivity (SEER), which features a graphical user interface that allows users to manipulate a resistivity model and instantly view how that model would likely be interpreted by an ERI survey. The SEER tool is intended for use by those who wish to determine the value of including ERI to achieve project goals, and is designed to have broad utility in industry, teaching, and research.

Electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) data for clay mineral mapping.

Project description:In order to identify potential zones for clay mineral (kaolinite) in Ranong province, Thailand, ten 2D ERT survey lines were deployed across potential site. The data were collected using the IRIS Syscal Pro Plus multi-electrode imaging system with internal switchbox and an array of 48 steel electrodes. The Dipole-Dipole configuration was utilized with electrode separations of 10 m. The Res2DInv software was used to process the data. Images for the resistivity survey are presented as 2D cross section of resistivity profile. The data were interpreted by comparing with geology of the area and based on the available lithological borehole information.

Substitutional and interstitial impurity p-type doping of thermoelectric Mg2Si: a theoretical study.

Project description:The narrow-gap magnesium silicide semiconductor Mg2Si is a promising mid-temperature (600-900 K) thermoelectric material. It intrinsically possesses n-type conductivity, and n-type dopants are generally used for improving its thermoelectric performance; however, the synthesis of p-type Mg2Si is relatively difficult. In this work, the hole doping of Mg2Si with various impurity atoms is investigated by performing first principles calculations. It is found that the Ag-doped systems exhibit comparable formation energies ΔE calculated for different impurity sites (Mg, Si, and interstitial 4b ones), which may explain the experimental instability of their p-type conductivity. A similar phenomenon is observed for the systems incorporating alkali metals (Li, Na, and K) since their ΔE values determined for Mg (p-type) and 4b (n-type) sites are very close. Among boron group elements (Ga and B), Ga is found to be favorable for hole doping because it exhibits relatively small ΔE values for Si (p-type) sites. Furthermore, the interstitial insertion of Cl and F atoms into the crystal lattice leads to hole doping because of their high electronegativity.

Electrical Resistivity of Cu and Au at High Pressure above 5 GPa: Implications for the Constant Electrical Resistivity Theory along the Melting Curve of the Simple Metals.

Project description:The electrical resistivity of solid and liquid Cu and Au were measured at high pressures from 6 up to 12 GPa and temperatures ∼150 K above melting. The resistivity of the metals was also measured as a function of pressure at room temperature. Their resistivity decreased and increased with increasing pressure and temperature, respectively. With increasing pressure at room temperature, we observed a sharp reduction in the magnitude of resistivity at ∼4 GPa in both metals. In comparison with 1 atm data and relatively lower pressure data from previous studies, our measured temperature-dependent resistivity in the solid and liquid states show a similar trend. The observed melting temperatures at various fixed pressure are in reasonable agreement with previous experimental and theoretical studies. Along the melting curve, the present study found the resistivity to be constant within the range of our investigated pressure (6-12 GPa) in agreement with the theoretical prediction. Our results indicate that the invariant resistivity theory could apply to the simple metals but at higher pressure above 5 GPa. These results were discussed in terms of the saturation of the dominant nuclear screening effect caused by the increasing difference in energy level between the Fermi level and the d-band with increasing pressure.

Synthesis of High-Density Indium Oxide Nanowires with Low Electrical Resistivity.

Project description:In this study, indium oxide nanowires of high-density were synthesized by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) through a vapor-liquid-solid (VLS) mechanism without carrier gas. The indium oxide nanowires possess great morphology with an aspect ratio of over 400 and an average diameter of 50 nm; the length of the nanowires could be over 30 ?m, confirmed by field-emission scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Characterization was conducted with X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), photoluminescence spectrum (PL). High-resolution TEM studies confirm that the grown nanowires were single crystalline c-In2O3 nanowires of body-centered cubic structures. The room temperature PL spectrum shows a strong peak around 2.22 eV, originating from the defects in the crystal structure. The electrical resistivity of a single indium oxide nanowire was measured to be 1.0 × 10-4 ??cm, relatively low as compared with previous works, which may result from the abundant oxygen vacancies in the nanowires, acting as unintentional doping.

High-entropy alloys with high saturation magnetization, electrical resistivity, and malleability.

Project description:Soft magnetic materials (SMMs) find important applications in a number of areas. The diverse requirements for these applications are often demanding and challenging for the design and fabrication of SMMs. Here we report a new class of FeCoNi(AlSi)x (0 ? x ? 0.8 in molar ratio) SMMs based on high-entropy alloys (HEAs). It is found that with the compositional and structural changes, the optimal balance of magnetic, electrical, and mechanical properties is achieved at x = 0.2, for which the combination of saturation magnetization (1.15 T), coercivity (1,400 A/m), electrical resistivity (69.5 ??·cm), yield strength (342 MPa), and strain without fracture (50%) makes the alloy an excellent SMM. Ab initio calculations are used to explain the high magnetic saturation of the present HEAs and the effects of compositional structures on magnetic characteristics. The HEA-based SMMs point to new directions in both the application of HEAs and the search for novel SMMs.

Electrical resistivity tomography data across the Hockai Fault Zone (Ardenne, Belgium).

Project description:In this work, we present the result of a large-scale geophysical survey that had the objective of identifying the subsurface characteristics and the NE-SW extension of the Hockai Fault Zone: a major NNW-SSE oriented crustal-rooted fault zone crossing the Stavelot-Venn Massif (Eastern Belgium). 31 two-dimensional electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) profiles are presented, resulting in 10,679 m of 2D sections. All profiles were acquired between 2008 and 2010 using a single channel ABEM Terrameter SAS1000 instrument connected to a 64 electrodes setup of maximum 315 m extent which was often extended using the roll-along technique. Major findings based on the data presented here are reported in the manuscript "A geophysical cross-section of the Hockai Fault Zone (Eastern Belgium)" (Lecocq and Camelbeeck, Submitted for publication) [1].

Electrical Detection of Singlet Fission in Single Crystal Tetracene Transistors.

Project description:We present the electrical detection of singlet fission in tetracene by using a field-effect transistor (FET). Singlet fission is a photoinduced spin-dependent process, yielding two triplet excitons from the absorption of a single photon. In this study, we engineered a more deterministic platform composed of an organic single crystal FET rather than amorphous or polycrystalline FETs to elucidate spin-dependent processes under magnetic fields. Despite the unipolar operation and relatively high mobility of single crystal tetracene FETs, we were able to manipulate spin dependent processes to detect magnetoconductance (MC) at room temperature by illuminating the FETs and tuning the bias voltage to adjust majority charge carrier density and trap occupancy. In considering the crystalline direction and magnetic field interactions in tetracene, we show the MC response observed in tetracene FETs to be the result of the singlet fission process.

Impurity Resonant States p-type Doping in Wide-Band-Gap Nitrides.

Project description:In this work, a new strategy for achieving efficient p-type doping in high bandgap nitride semiconductors to overcome the fundamental issue of high activation energy has been proposed and investigated theoretically, and demonstrated experimentally. Specifically, in an AlxGa(1-x)N/GaN superlattice structure, by modulation doping of Mg in the AlxGa(1-x)N barriers, high concentration of holes are generated throughout the material. A hole concentration as high as 1.1 × 10(18) cm(-3) has been achieved, which is about one order of magnitude higher than that typically achievable by direct doping GaN. Results from first-principle calculations indicate that the coupling and hybridization between Mg 2p impurity and the host N 2p orbitals are main reasons for the generation of resonant states in the GaN wells, which further results in the high hole concentration. We expect this approach to be equally applicable for other high bandgap materials where efficient p-type doing is difficult. Furthermore, a two-carrier-species Hall-effect model is proposed to delineate and discriminate the characteristics of the bulk and 2D hole, which usually coexist in superlattice-like doping systems. The model reported here can also be used to explain the abnormal freeze-in effect observed in many previous reports.
