Optical transitions in the isoelectronically doped semiconductor GaP: N: An evolution from isolated centers, pairs, and clusters to an impurity band

Y Zhang, B Fluegel, A Mascarenhas, HP Xin, CW Tu - Physical Review B, 2000 - APS
In heavily nitrogen doped GaP, we show how isoelectronic doping results in an impurity
band, and how this is manifested as a large band-gap reduction and an enhanced band …

Applications of Huang–Rhys theory in semiconductor optical spectroscopy

Y Zhang - Journal of Semiconductors, 2019 - iopscience.iop.org
A brief review of Huang–Rhys theory and Albrechtos theory is provided, and their

Exciton binding energies and the valence-band offset in mixed type-I–type-II strained-layer superlattices

P Peyla, YM d'Aubigné, A Wasiela, R Romestain… - Physical Review B, 1992 - APS
Abstract Strained CdTe-Cd 1− x Zn x Te superlattices are of mixed type: electrons and heavy

Electronic structures of impurities and point defects in semiconductors

Y Zhang - Chinese Physics B, 2018 - iopscience.iop.org
A brief history of the impurity theories in semiconductors is provided. A bound exciton model
is proposed for both donor-and acceptor-like impurities and point defects, which offers a …

Behavior of nitrogen impurities in III–V semiconductors

Y Zhang, W Ge - Journal of luminescence, 2000 - Elsevier
A detailed review on a few important issues related to the isoelectronic impurity nitrogen in III-
V semiconductors GaP and GaAs are given in this article. These issues include (1) the …

Impurity perturbation to the host band structure and recoil of the impurity state

Y Zhang, B Fluegel, MC Hanna, A Mascarenhas… - Physical Review B, 2003 - APS
At sufficiently high doping levels, the impurities in a semiconductor are expected to perturb
the host band structure, and the perturbed host is then expected to alter the impurity state …

Bound exciton model for an acceptor in a semiconductor

Y Zhang, J Wang - Physical Review B, 2014 - APS
We attempt to clarify an ambiguity in the understanding of the electronic structure of an
acceptor in a semiconductor. Instead of using only a single quantity acceptor binding energy …

Free carrier and/or exciton trapping by nitrogen pairs in dilute

M Felici, A Polimeni, A Miriametro, M Capizzi… - Physical Review B …, 2005 - APS
The electronic properties of nitrogen pairs have been investigated in dilute Ga P 1− x N x
samples (x⩽ 0.24%) by excitation photoluminescence (PLE) spectroscopy and by …

Isoelectronic impurity states in GaAs: N

Y Zhang, A Mascarenhas - Physical Review B, 2000 - APS
Using the one-band one-site Koster-Slater model, we explain the different behavior of
isoelectronic impurities in GaAs: N and GaP: N in terms of their band-structure difference …

Phonon sidebands of excitons bound to isoelectronic impurities in semiconductors

Y Zhang, W Ge, MD Sturge, J Zheng, B Wu - Physical Review B, 1993 - APS
The configuration coordinate (CC) and momentum conservation (MC) models have been
widely used to explain the phonon sidebands of impurity spectra in semiconductors. In this …
