Optical, electrical and structural characterization of CuInSe2 thin films

PHYSICA STATUS SOLIDI (B) BASIC SOLID STATE PHYSICS, Issue 9 2005
C. Calderón
The present issue of physica status solidi (b) comprises papers presented at the XVII Latin American Symposium on Solid State Physics (SLAFES 2004) in Havana, Cuba, 6,9 December 2004. Further papers from this conference are published in phys. stat. sol. (c) 2, No. 10 (2005). The cover picture refers to the article [1] on polycrystalline CuInSe2 films by Clara Calderón et al. and shows the crystal structure of CuInSe2 (right) and that of the In-rich phase CuIn3Se5 (left) which were used for the simulation and analysis of the X-ray diffraction spectra. Clara Lilia Calderón Triana is teacher at the Solar Cells Laboratory of Universidad Nacional de Colombia in Bogotá where she has been working on solar cells and semiconductor materials since 1995. In particular, she is fabricating thin film solar cells based on CuInSe2 and Cu(In,Ga)Se2. At SLAFES 2004, Clara Calderón received the physica status solidi Young Researcher Award for her second presentation entitled "Study of electrical transport properties of ZnO thin films used as front contact of solar cells" [2] which is published as Editor's Choice of this issue.

Quasi-localized low-frequency vibrational modes of disordered solids: Study by single-molecule spectroscopy

PHYSICA STATUS SOLIDI (B) BASIC SOLID STATE PHYSICS, Issue 15 2004
A. V. Naumov
Editor's Choice of this issue of physica status solidi (b) is the article [1] by Andrei V. Naumov et al. This paper is Part II (Part I see [2]) of a study on elementary excitations in glasses, presented at the 11th International Conference on Phonon Scattering in Condensed Matter, St. Petersburg, 25,30 July 2004. For his outstanding talk, Naumov received the new physica status solidi Young Researcher Award which was bestowed for the first time at this conference. The cover picture is a sketch of a glass with a single impurity molecule and one hypothetical quasi-localized vibrational mode. The broadening and shift of the chromophore spectral line are caused by the interaction with this mode. Andrei V. Naumov is senior scientific researcher and deputy head of the Molecular Spectroscopy Department of the Institute of Spectroscopy, Troitsk. His main research interests are experimental and theoretical studies of low-temperature dynamics of amorphous solids (glasses, polymers etc.) via high resolution laser selective spectroscopy techniques. The second Editor's Choice is an article by E. A. Eliseev and M. D. Glinchuk [3]. Eugene A. Eliseev is scientific researcher at the Frantsevich Institute for Problems of Materials Science of the Ukrainian National Academy of Sciences, Kiev. His research areas are the theory of size and correlation effects in ferroelectric materials as well as modelling of disordered ferroelectrics properties. (© 2004 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

Optimization of AlGaN/GaN HEMTs for high frequency operation

PHYSICA STATUS SOLIDI (A) APPLICATIONS AND MATERIALS SCIENCE, Issue 7 2006
T. Palacios
In the article [1] featured at Editor's Choice, the structure and processing of AlGaN/GaN high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs) have been optimized for maximum small signal gain at high frequencies. The cover picture combines the sample structure , shown schematically and in a scanning electron microscopy image , with the band diagram of the sample with an InGaN back-barrier used to increase the electron confinement in comparison to a standard HEMT. The first author, Tomás Palacios, is currently a Project Scientist at UCSB. His research interest focuses on the search of novel GaN-based transistors for mm-wave applications and biological sensors. He is one of the winners of the physica status solidi Young Researcher Awards for his outstanding presentation at the 6th International Conference on Nitride Semiconductors held in Bremen, Germany, in 2005. Further articles from ICNS-6 will also be published in phys. stat. sol. (b) 243, No. 7 (2006) and phys. stat. sol. (c) 3, No. 6 (2006). The present issue of phys. stat. sol. (a) as well as phys. stat. sol. (c) 3, No. 5 (2006) also contain papers presented at the International Conference on Nanoscale Magnetism (ICNM-2005) in Gebze, Turkey. [source]
