Toward Tunable Magnetic Dirac Semimetals: Mn Doping of CdAs
Anthony D. Rice, Ian Leahy, Herve Ness +8
Magnetic impurities provide a route toward increasing functionality in electronic materials, often enabling new device concepts and architectures. In the case of topological semime…
Silicon Implantation and Annealing in -GaO: Role of Ambient, Temperature, and Time
K. R. Gann, N. Pieczulewski1, C. A. Gorsak +9
Optimizing thermal anneals of Si-implanted -GaO is critical for low resistance contacts and selective area doping. We report the impact of annealing ambient, temperature…
Bulk and film synthesis pathways to ternary magnesium tungsten nitrides
Christopher L. Rom, Rebecca W. Smaha, Callan A. Knebel +4
Bulk solid state synthesis of nitride materials usually leads to thermodynamically stable, cation-ordered crystal structures, whereas thin film synthesis tends to favor disordered,…
Thin film TaAs: developing a platform for Weyl semimetal devices
Jocienne N. Nelson, Anthony D. Rice, Rafal Kurleto +12
MX monopnictide compounds (M=Nb,Ta, X = As,P) are prototypical three-dimensional Weyl semimetals (WSMs) that have been shown in bulk single crystal form to have potential for a wid…
Thin film synthesis of semiconductors in the Mg-Sb-N materials system
Karen N. Heinselman, Stephan Lany, John D. Perkins +2
Nitrides feature many interesting properties, such as a wide range of bandgaps suitable for optoelectronic devices including light-emitting diodes (LEDs), and piezoelectric respons…
COMBIgor: data analysis package for combinatorial materials science
Kevin R. Talley, Sage R. Bauers, Celeste L. Melamed +9
Combinatorial experiments involve synthesis of sample libraries with lateral composition gradients requiring spatially-resolved characterization of structure and properties. Due to…
