Two additional vibration modes at 250 and 529 cm−1 were observed in hydrogenated Zn0.98Mn0.05O nanopowders. The number of oxygen vacancies was increased by hydrogenation, which induced the mode at 250 cm−1. The additional vibration mode at 529 cm−1 was due to the increase of the number of subsititutional Mn atoms occu…

Understanding the physical behavior of an interface between two different oxides is made difficult because of the many competing physical mechanisms such as epitaxial strain, broken symmetry, elemental interdiffusion, and polarity discontinuity, which may be at play simultaneously. We propose an approach, based on het…

Employing electron energy-loss spectroscopy we show that small values of doping in the system ${\text{Ca}}_{2\ensuremath{-}x}{\text{Na}}_{x}{\text{CuO}}_{2}{\text{Cl}}_{2}$ strongly influence the formation of charge-transfer excitons in the Cu-O plane. We find a remarkable redistribution of spectral weight between the…

We have investigated photoluminescence (PL) properties of GaAs (15 nm)/AlAs (15 nm) and GaAs (20 nm)/AlAs (20 nm) multiple quantum wells at 10 K under high density excitation conditions at excitation energies in the region of the fundamental excitons. It has been found that the PL due to exciton-exciton scattering, th…
