Rotational And Hyperfine Analysis Of Aus, Ian A. Wyse
Macalester Journal of Physics and Astronomy
Gas phase diatomic gold sulfide, AuS, was analyzed using optical spectroscopy. High-resolution spectra were collected and characterized and a global fit of the A2∑+-X2∏3/2 (0,0), B2∑–-X2∏3/2 (0,0), and C2Δ3/2-X2∏1/2 (0,0) transitions at 15570 cm-1, 16290 cm-1, and 17670 cm-1 was compiled and resulted in rotational constant determinations for the A2∑+((2σ)1(4π)4), B2∑–((2σ)2(4π)2(2σ*)1), and C2Δ3/2 …

Ge1-xSnx alloys are among a small class of benign semiconductors with composition tunable bandgaps in the near-infrared spectrum. As the amount of Sn is increased the band energy decreases and a transition from indirect to direct band structure occurs. Hence, they are prime candidates for fabrication of Si-compatible electronic and photonic devices, field effect transistors, and novel charge storage device applications. Success has been achieved with the growth of Ge1-xSnx thin film alloys with Sn compositions up to 34%. However, the synthesis of nanocrystalline alloys has proven difficult due to larger discrepancies (~14%) in …
