چکیده

We have applied positron annihilation spectroscopy to study in-grown vacancy defects in bulk aluminium nitride (AlN) crystals grown by physical vapor transport. We interpret the lowest lifetime value of about 155ps, measured at low temperatures, to represent the annihilations from the free state of the positron in the crystal lattice. The increased lifetime at high temperatures is an indication of positrons annihilating as trapped at vacancy defects, and a second lifetime component could be separated from the lifetime spectra at temperatures above 400K. The same lifetime component t2 1⁄4 210710ps was found in all AlN samples. This component can be attributed to positrons annihilating at Al vacancies, possibly complexed with impurities such as oxygen, present at concentrations in the 10 cm 3 range in the samples. In addition to Al vacancies, negatively charged non-open volume defects acting as shallow hydrogenic traps for positrons were detected, with concentrations of about 10 cm 3 or higher. These defects are the dominant negative acceptor defects

Publication Ethics: A Case Series with Recommendations According to Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE)

Ethical misconduct is not a new issue in the history of science and literature. However, ethical misconducts in science have grown considerably in the modern era which is due to emphasis on the scientific proliferation in research institutes and gauging scientists according to their publications. In the current case series, several misconducts occurring over the previous years in Mashhad Univer...

Publication Ethics: Many Facets, Collaboration Required

Sir, the recent publication on “Publication Ethics” is very interesting (1). The article by Fazly Bazzaz and Sadeghi demonstrated many interesting cases                   of misconducts. Indeed, the misconducts can be seen  in many ways. As mentioned in the present publication, both author and editor can perform publication misconducts. Nevertheless, the problem has many more facets. Sometimes,...
