Abstract: The novel solid NaXe nanoclusters were prepared. Measurements and calculations indicated that solid NaXe nanocluster has easily vibration- dissociated ground state and stable excited state to emit UV radiation. In the meanwhile the solid nanocluster NaXe retains fcc position within the host NaCl matrix. Therefore，the integrated ultraviolet(UV)-micro-excimer-laser-matrix can be prepared by using solid NaXe nanoclusters.

Abstract: An absorber-emitter system was fabricated using a multi-layer structure of amorphous silicon and silicon oxide thin films. The layers were deposited using RF magnetron sputtering system. The thin films were alternated in a periodic structure to form a one-dimensional photonic crystal. Each period in the crystal consisted of one layer of 57 nm thick silicon and a 100 nm thick silicon oxide layer. Several samples were prepared consisted on different periods (N= 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 10). Rutherford Backscattering Spectrometry technique (RBS) was used to verify the number of layers and their alternation, checking the thicknesses and determine the real stoichiometry in each layer of Si and SiOx.

Abstract: Multiple-energy nitrogen ions (energies:1 to 100 keV and a net concentration:2.24 x 1020 cm-3) are implanted into ZnO bulk single crystals grown by the hydrothermal method. Rutherford backscattering-channeling studies show the presence of displaced Zn atoms (Zni) of about 4 % in as-implanted samples. An A-emission band related to the interstitial oxygen (Oi) is observed at 580 nm in 600 oC-annealed samples, and a new emission appears at 515 nm in 800 oC-annealed samples. It is proposed that the new emission band consists of the superposition of the green band (~525 nm) observed in unimplanted ZnO and the residual A-emission band. In 800 oC-annealed samples, a band to acceptor transition at 3.26 eV is also observed in addition to a donor to acceptor pair transition, suggesting that nitrogen acceptor is located at about 180 meV above the valence band. A thermally stimulated current peak, P1 (165 meV), which has been attributed to a native point defect, observed in unimplanted samples almost disappears in nitrogen-implanted samples annealed at 800 oC.

Abstract: Aluminum ions (Al+) were implanted at room temperature or at 500°C into n-type 4HSiC. The implantation damage (displaced Si atoms) and the electrical activation of Al+ ions (concentration of Al acceptors) were determined by Rutherford backscattering in channeling mode and Hall effect, respectively, as a function of the annealing temperature.
