1 Scarpulla, MichaelBandgap and band offsets determination of semiconductor heterostructures using three-terminal ballistic carrier spectroscopyAmong the most important properties of semiconductors are their bandgaps and how the total bandgap difference distributes between the conduction band offset ΔEC and the valence band offset ΔEV at the heterojunction (HJ) interface between two semiconductors. Understanding such properties is crucial...Bandgaps; Band offsets; Gallium arsenide2009
2 Scarpulla, MichaelMn L3,2 x-ray absorption spectroscopy and magnetic circular dichroism in ferromagnetic Ga1-xMnxPWe have measured the X-ray absorption (XAS) and X-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) at the Mn i32 edges in ferromagnetic Ga1-xMrixP films for 0.018<x<0.042. Large XMCD asymmetries at the L3 edge indicate significant spin-polarization of the density of states at the Fermi energy. The spectral s...X-ray absorption; Ferromagnetic semiconductors; X-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD); Gallium Manganese Phosphide; Gallium arsenide2007
3 Scarpulla, MichaelElectrical transport and ferromagnetism in Ga1−xMnxAs synthesized by ion implantation and pulsed-laser meltingWe present a detailed investigation of the magnetic and magnetotransport properties of thin films of ferromagnetic Ga1−xMnxAs synthesized using ion implantation and pulsed-laser melting (II-PLM).

4 Stringfellow, Gerald B.; Shurtleff, James KevinSurfactant effects on doping of GaAs grown by organometallic vapor phase epitaxyRecently, the addition of the isoelectronic surfactant Sb during organometallic vapor phase epitaxy (OMVPE) of GaInP was shown to eliminate ordering, resulting in a significant change in the band gap energy. These results suggest that surfactants added during growth could have profound affects on ot...Gallium arsenide; Surfactants; Semiconductors2001
5 Scarpulla, MichaelMutual passivation of group IV donors and nitrogen in diluted GaNxAs1 x alloysWe demonstrate the mutual passivation phenomenon of Ge donors and isovalent N in highly mismatched alloy GaNxAs1-x doped with Ge. Layers of this alloy were formed by the sequential implantation of Ge and N ions followed by pulsed laser melting and rapid thermal annealing. The mutual passivation effe...Highly mismatched alloys; Passivation; Gallium arsenide2003
6 Scarpulla, MichaelCompositional tuning of ferromagnetism in Ga1-xMnxPWe report the magnetic and transport properties of Ga1-xMnxP synthesized via ion implantation followed by pulsed laser melting over a range of x, namely 0.018 to 0.042. Like Ga1-xMnxAs, Ga1-xMnxP displays a monotonic increase of the ferromagnetic Curie temperature with x associated with the hole-me...Gallium arsenide; Ferromagnetic semiconductors2006-12
7 Scarpulla, MichaelMagnetocrystalline anisotropy and magnetization reversal in Ga1-xMnxP synthesized by ion implantation and pulsed-laser meltingWe report the observation of ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) and the determination of the magnetocrystalline anisotropy in (100)-oriented single-crystalline thin film samples of Ga1−xMnxP with x=0.042. The contributions to the magnetic anisotropy were determined by measuring the angular and the te...Magnetocrystalline anisotropy; GaMnAs; Gallium arsenide2007-06
8 Scarpulla, MichaelEnhanced nitrogen incorporation by pulsed laser annealing of GaNxAs1-x formed by N ion implantationWe demonstrate that pulsed laser annealing followed by rapid thermal annealing greatly enhances incorporation of substitutional N in N1-implanted GaAs. Films implanted to 1.8% N exhibit a fundamental band gap of 1.26 eV (a band gap reduction of 160 meV), corresponding to an N activation efficiency ...Highly mismatched alloys; Gallium arsenide2002
9 Scarpulla, MichaelEffect of film thickness on the incorporation of Mn interstitials in Ga1-xMnxAsWe have investigated the effect of film thickness on the distribution of Mn atoms at various lattice sites in Ga1−xMnxAs thin films. We find that the growth surface acts as a sink facilitating the outdiffusion of Mn interstitials sMnId, and thus reducing its concentration in the film. The outdiffu...Interstitials; Gallium arsenide2005
