Formation of Ag and Au Plasmonic Nanoparticles by Ion Implantation in GaO thin films
Inês Freitas, Ana Sofia Sousa, Duarte Magalhães Esteves +6
Gallium oxide (GaO) is a wide-bandgap semiconductor with exceptional electrical and optical properties, making it a promising material for optoelectronic and sensing applic…
Au and Ag nanoparticles produced by ion implantation in single-crystalline -GaO
Duarte Magalhães Esteves, Ana Sofia Sousa, Inês Freitas +5
This work reports the successful formation of Ag and Au nanoparticles in -GaO single-crystals by ion implantation and annealing at 550 °C. X-ray diffraction measuremen…
Anisotropic implantation damage build-up and crystal recovery in -GaO
Duarte Magalhães Esteves, Sérgio Magalhães, Ãngelo Rafael Granadeiro da Costa +2
The present work aims at investigating the defect accumulation and recovery dynamics in the inherently anisotropic -GaO lattice. A systematic Rutherford Backscattering…
Understanding the anisotropic response of -GaO to ion implantation
Duarte Magalhães Esteves, Ru He, Sérgio Magalhães +8
While -GaO is considered a promising wide bandgap semiconductor, the impact of ion-induced defect formation and anisotropic elasticity remains poorly understood. Here,…
