We explore the effects of B doping on the electronic properties of 3C-SiC, focusing on a 12.5% impurity concentration. Our comprehensive analysis encompasses structural properties, electronic band structures, and charge density distributions. The optimized lattice constant and band gap energy of 3C-SiC were found to be 4.373 Å and 1.36 eV respectively, which is in agreement with previous research (Bui, 2012;Muchiri et al., 2018). Our results show that B doping narrows the band gap, enhances electrical conductivity, and influences charge transfer interactions. The charge density analysis reveals substantial interactions between B dopants and surrounding carbon atoms. This work not only enhances our understanding of the material’s electronic properties, but also highlights the importance of charge density analysis for characterizing charge transfer mechanisms and their implications in the 3C-SiC semiconductors.展开更多

The absorption and tellurite glasses were preemission spectra of Nd^3 +- doped tellurite glasses at room temperature were measured. The Judd-Ofelt parameters (Ω2, Ω4, Ω6) of the glasses were calculated from measured absorption spectra. The calculation results of luminescence properties (A, β, τrad, σ) of Nd^3+ ions in the tellurite were glasses were given. Spectroscopic properties, concentration quenching in these kinds of the glasses were investigated. The results indicate that the tellurite glasses with composition of 70% TeO2, 20% ZnO, ( 10 - x ) % La2O3, x % Nd2O3 ( mol% ) show high emission cross section and low phonon energy. The fluorescent intensity and the emission cross section have a maxi- mum value at x = 0.5, namely, the optimum Nd^3 + ion concentration in the tellurite glass is 0.5% (1.93 × 10^20 ions·cm^-3). The fluorescence properties of Nd^3+ measured are basically in accord with the calculated results.展开更多

The absorption and luminescence properties of high silica glass doped with different Nd^3 + concentrations were studied. The intensity parameters Ωt (t = 2, 4, 6), spontaneous emission probability, fluorescence lifetime, radiative quantum efficiency, fluorescence branching ratio, and stimulated emission cross section were calculated using the Judd-Ofelt theory. The optimal Nd^3+ concentration in high silica glass was 0.27% (mole fraction) because of its high quantum efficiency and emission intensity. By comparing the spectroscopic parameters with other Nd^3 +- doped oxide glasses and commercial silicate glasses, the Nd^3 + -doped high silica glasses are likely to be a promising material used for high power and high repetition rate lasers.展开更多
