We report the dielectric Properties of HfO 2 -based films in the optical–high frequency range. The demonstrated tunability of the optical dielectric constant of HfO 2 -based compounds is of great relevance for optoelectronic applications, e.g., high-refractive index dielectrics for nanoantenna and optical coatings for electronic displays. Since the optical dielectric constant of HfO 2 is determined by the electronic structure and its crystal environment, we tune the physical properties of HfO 2 films on MgO by adding different dopants. In this work, we aim to determine the influence of doping together with the resulting crystal structure on the optical dielectric constant. Hence, we studied 20 mol. % Y-doped HfO 2 (HYO), Hf 0.5 Zr 0.5 O 2 (HZO), and Hf 0.5 Ce 0.5 O 2 (HCO). Among the dopants, Y 2 O 3 has the lowest, ZrO 2 an intermediate, and CeO 2 the highest real part of the optical dielectric constant. The optical dielectric constant is found to be lowest in the cubic HYO films. An intermediate dielectric constant is found in HZO films that is predominantly in the monoclinic phase, but additionally hosts the cubic phase. The highest dielectric constant is observed in HCO films that are predominantly in the cubic phase with inclusions of the monoclinic phase. The observed trend is in good agreement with the dominant role of the dopant type in setting the optical dielectric constant.more » « less

X-ray photoemission spectroscopy (XPS) has been used to examine the interaction between Au and HfS 3 at the Au/HfS 3 interface. XPS measurements reveal dissociative chemisorption of O 2 , leading to the formation of an oxide of Hf at the surface of HfS 3 . This surface hafnium oxide, along with the weakly chemisorbed molecular species, such as O 2 and H 2 O, are likely responsible for the observed p-type characteristics of HfS 3 reported elsewhere. HfS 3 devices exhibit n-type behaviour if measured in vacuum but turn p-type in air. Au thickness-dependent XPS measurements provide clear evidence of band bending as the S 2p and Hf 4f core-level peak binding energies for Au/HfS 3 are found to be shifted to higher binding energies. This band bending implies formation of a Schottky-barrier at the Au/HfS 3 interface, which explains the low measured charge carrier mobilities of HfS 3 -based devices. The transistor measurements presented herein also indicate the existence of a Schottky barrier, consistent with the XPS core-level binding energy shifts, and show that the bulk of HfS 3 is n-type.more » « less

Marine microalgae have been identified as a considerable sink of atmospheric CO 2 . Since macroscopic ecosystems cannot be studied experimentally with the required microscopic spatial resolution, a novel modeling method is being presented to quantify this sequestration process. The presented modeling studies indicate that the fixation of carbon by microalgae is species-specific and depends on competition effects among multiple species.more » « less
