Stringfellow, Gerald B.; Shurtleff, James Kevin | Adsorption and desorption of the surfactant Sb on GaInP grown by organometallic vapor phase epitaxy | It has been determined that ordering has a profound effect on the bandgap energy of many compound semiconductor alloys. Therefore, ordering must be controlled for devices such as solar cells, light emitting diodes and diode lasers. Since ordering depends on the surface properties during organomet... | Time dependent surface photoabsorption (SPA); Compound semiconductor alloys | 2000 |

Stringfellow, Gerald B.; Shurtleff, James Kevin | Bi surfactant effects on ordering in GaInP grown by organometallic vapor-phase epitaxy | The effect of the isoelectronic surfactant Bi on surface structure and ordering has been studied for GaInP semiconductor alloys grown by organometallic vapor-phase epitaxy. A small amount of Bi trimethylbismuth added during growth is found to result in disordering for layers grown using conditions t... | Surfactant; Semiconductors; Trimethylbismuth | 2000 |

Tiwari, Ashutosh | Experiments along coexistence near tricriticality in 3He-4He mixtures | The tricritical point in the phase diagram of 3He-4He mixtures offers unique opportunities to test our understanding of critical phenomena. Because D = 3 is the marginal spatial dimension for tricriticality, the associated critical exponents are exact integer fractions. In addition, one expects to f... | Tricriticality; Tricritical point; 3He-4He mixtures | 2000 |

Stringfellow, Gerald B.; Shurtleff, James Kevin | Heterostructures in GaInP grown using a change in Te doping | In organometallic vapor phase epitaxy, changes in growth conditions can be used to modulate the extent of CuPt ordering and, hence, the band gap energy of GaInP. One method is to add Te during growth. An increase in the band gap energy of 0.1 eV due to a decrease in ordering has been obtained by ... | Heterostructures; Alloys | 2000 |

Bedrov, Dmitro; Smith, Grant D. | Thermal conductivity of molecular fluids from molecular dynamics simulations: application of a new imposed-flux method | We have applied a new nonequilibrium molecular dynamics (NEMD) method [F. Müller-Plathe, J. Chem. Phys. 106, 6082 (1997)] previously applied to monatomic Lennard-Jones fluids in the determination of the thermal conductivity of molecular fluids. The method was modified in order to be applicable to... | Thermal conductivity; Molecular fluids; Heat flux; Imposed-flux NEMD method | 2000 |
