Abstract:
(BixGa1-x)(2)O-3 films were prepared at 820 degrees C by sol-gel method, an ethylene glycol solution of hydrated gallium nitrate and bismuth nitrate stabilized by monoethanolamine, of which crystallization, surface morphology and electronic structure as well as optical properties were studied in detail by X-ray diffraction, Scanning electron microscope-energy dispersive spectrometer, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and Ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy. XRD showed Ga2O3 film prepared from solutions consisted of two crystal structures, beta and gamma, increasing Bi atoms into Ga2O3 that enable the inhibition of gamma phase formation and (BixGa1-x)(2)O-3 and Ga2O3 capable of holding the same monoclinic crystal structure. EDS displayed (BixGa1-x)(2)O-3 films of varied compositions were obtained with content of different Bi atoms into the solution, which kept same monoclinic crystal as beta-Ga2O3 when Bi ranged from 0 < x < 0.056. FTIR revealed that the absorption band below 480 cm(-1) corresponded to the octahedral position of Ga2O3 and the Bi atoms in the (BixGa1-x)(2)O-3 films substituted the Ga in the [GaO6] octahedron. XPS exhibited increasing Bi content raised Ga-3(+)/Ga ratio. UV-VIS provided evidence that optical band gap of (BixGa1-x)(2)O-3 down to 3.2 eV indicating Bi-doping achieved Ga2O3 band gap tunable, concurrently, the bowing parameter c = 1.83 eV was obtained on the basis of the fitting curve of band gap.
