BELT ENGINEERING WITH NEW II-VI SEMICONDUCTOR STRUCTURES FOR ADVANCED VIS-IR OPTOELECTRONICS

Operation co-funded by EU cohesion policy (European Regional Development Fund (ERDF)) under the programme Multi-regional Spain - ERDF (2014ES16RFOP002), managing authority: Subdirección General de Gestión del FEDER, de la Dirección General de Fondos Europeos del Ministerio de Hacienda.. The source names no beneficiary for this operation. Location: Valencia Province (NUTS ES523); Spain. Budget: total eligible expenditure EUR 107,327; EU co-financing EUR 53,663.5 (co-financing rate 50%), as stated by the source. Runs 2015-01-01 to 2018-06-30.

Summary from Kohesio (English machine translation by the source): THIS PROJECT FOCUSES ON THE CHALLENGE OFFERED BY ADVANCING KNOWLEDGE OF EPITAXIAL GROWTH AND CHARACTERISATION OF HETEROSTRUCTURES OF ZNMGO/ZNO AND ZNCDO/ZNO IN THE FORM OF THIN FILMS AND NANOSTRUCTURES (QUANTIC POINTS AND WELLS), AS WELL AS THE REALISATION OF HETEROUNIONS WITH CDTE, ALL WITH A DOUBLE PURPOSE. FIRST, DEVELOP AND DEMONSTRATE MEDIUM INFRARED (MID-IR) (3-12 MICRON) TECHNOLOGY VIABILITY FOR WELL AND QUANTUM SPOT PHOTODETECTORS (QWIP AND QDIP), THROUGH INTERSUBBANDA TRANSITIONS IN ZNMGCDO QUANTUM STRUCTURES. Second, Identify new ways to increase the effectiveness of the SOLARES BASED CELULAS, in this case, on the basis of the use of N-CDZNO/P-CDTE heterounions. for INTERSUBBANDA ABSORCION IN INFRARROWING (IR) OXIDs OFFER A UNIQUE PROPERTY SEER make POOTENTIAL CANDIDATES to cover from the future (3-12 MICRAS) HAS THZ’S REGION: A HIGH POWER OF THE OPTICAL FONON (72 MEV) AND A HIGH DISCONTINUITY OF THE DRIVING BAND IN THE HETEROSTRUCTURES OF ZNMGO/ZNO AND ZNCDO/ZNO. IN ADDITION, THE EXISTENCE OF COMMERCIAL MONOCRYSTALLINE SUBSTRATES OF ZNO ALLOW HOMOEPITAXIAL GROWTH OF QUANTIC WELLS (QW) WITH LOW DEFECT DENSITIES, AND A LOW RESIDUAL CONCENTRATION OF CARRIERS. THEREFORE THIS FAMILY OF ALLOYS CAN GENERATE A NEW PATH TO REACH ABSORPTION FROM MEDIUM TO THZ, POTENTIALLY WORKING AT ROOM TEMPERATURE, AND THUS OVERCOMING THE LIMITATIONS OF THE ASGA FAMILY. UNLIKE THE GO, THE POSSIBILITY OF TUNING IN THE VISIBLE (VIS) THE BANDGAP OF THE ZNCDO THROUGH THE CONTENT OF CD, OFFERS A UNIQUE PATH TO IMPROVE THE ABSORPTION OF SOLAR ENERGY IN PHOTOVOLTAIC APPLICATIONS. THUS, THE SOLAR SPECTRUM AM1.5 HAS A PEAK OF IRRADIANCE AROUND 500 NM (2.5 EV), WHICH FITS PERFECTLY WITH THE REGION BANDGAPS OF THE ZNCDO. THROUGH THE EPITAXIAL DEPOSIT OF N-CD(ZN)O/P-CDTE A HETEROUNION CAN BE FORMED WHERE THE ABSORPTION EDGE OF THE LARGER BANDGAP MATERIAL, CD(ZN)O, CAN BE POTENTIALLY ADJUSTED FROM THE CDO TO THE ZNO, THUS CONTROLLING THE REGION OF THE SOLAR SPECTRUM AND THE QUALITY OF THE [shortened; the full text is on the Kohesio page]
