Zinc oxide (ZnO) is a wide bandgap semiconductor that holds significant potential for various applications. However, most of the native point defects in ZnO like Zn interstitials typically cause an n-type conductivity. Consequently, achieving p-type doping in ZnO is challenging but crucial for comprehensive applications in the field of optoelectronics.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFTransient spectroscopies are sensitive to charge carriers released from trapping centres in semiconducting devices. Even though these spectroscopies are mostly applied to reveal defects causing states that are localised in the energy gap, these methods also sense-charge from quantum wells in heterostructures. However, proper evaluation of material response to external stimuli requires knowledge of material properties such as electron effective mass in complex structures.
