  2. Abstract

    We show that the threshold for having a rainbow copy of a power of a Hamilton cycle in a randomly edge colored copy of is within a constant factor of the uncolored threshold. Our proof requires times the minimum number of colors.

  3. A top-illuminated deep-ultraviolet Al0.6Ga0.4N p-i-n avalanche photodiode (APD) structure was designed and grown by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition on an AlN bulk substrate and on two different quality AlN/sapphire templates, and APDs were fabricated and tested. The APD devices with a circular diameter of 20  μm have demonstrated a distinctive reverse-bias breakdown behavior. The reverse breakdown voltage of the APDs is approximately −140 V, which corresponds to a breakdown electric field of 6–6.2 MV/cm for the Al0.6Ga0.4N material as estimated by Silvaco TCAD simulation. The APDs grown on the AlN bulk substrate show the lowest leakage current density of <1 × 10−8 A/cm2(at low reverse bias) compared to that of the devices grown on the AlN templates. From the photocurrent measurement, a maximum gain (current limited) of 1.2 × 104is calculated. The average temperature coefficients of the breakdown voltage are negative for APD devices fabricated from both the AlN bulk substrate and the AlN templates, but these data show that the coefficient is the least negative for the APD devices grown on the low-dislocation-density AlN bulk substrate.

  4. Abstract

    Eu5Sn2As6is a Zintl phase crystalizing in the orthorhombic space groupPbamwith one‐dimensional chains of corner‐shared SnAs4tetrahedra running in thec‐direction. Eu5Sn2As6has an impressive room temperature Seebeck of >100 μV/K and < – 100 μV/K at 600 K crossing fromp‐ ton‐type at 650 K. The maximum thermoelectric figure of merit,zT, for Eu5Sn2As6is small (0.075), comparable to that of the Zintl phase Ca5Al2Sb6whose thermoelectric performance was improved by doping Na onto the Ca sites. In this study, we show that the thermoelectric properties of Eu5Sn2As6can be improved by substituting with K or La. The series Eu5‐xKxSn2As6provides an increase in maximumzTof 0.22 forx=0.15 due to a decrease resistivity while the onset of bipolar conduction systematically increases in temperature. Upon La substitution, Eu5‐xLaxSn2As6results in a newn‐type Zintl phase across the temperature range of 300–800 K.
