The roles of Se deficiency and Fe atoms, for the superconductivity of FeSe, have been, respectively, investigated in FeSe(1-delta) and (Fe(1-x)Cu(x))Se(1-delta), by our NMR experiments. The data, for nuclear spin-lattice relaxation rate (1/T(1)), show that the spin fluctuations are weakened at a larger delta, and are correlated with the superconductivity in FeSe. The superconducting volume fraction, estimated by our ac susceptibility experiments, is found to vary inversely with delta. Our findings suggest that the Se-deficient FeSe has an inhomogeneous phase, where the superconductivity is associated with the regions having few or no Se vacancies. As for (Fe(1-x)Cu(x))Se(1-delta), T(c) is rapidly suppressed by Cu doping and vanishes around x=0.03. The (77)Se and the (63)Cu NMR linewidths suggest that a local moment is induced at the Fe sites and not at the Cu sites. However, 1/T(1) shows no obvious change with the Cu doping. We suspect that other effects, such as disorder or change in the density of states, have more influence on T(c) suppression since a metal-insulator transition, induced by Cu substitution, occurs in the resistivity measurements.

The roles of Se deficiency and Fe atoms, for the superconductivity of FeSe, have been, respectively, investigated in FeSe1-delta and (Fe1-xCux)Se1-delta, by our NMR experiments. The data, for nuclear spin-lattice relaxation rate (1/T-1), show that the spin fluctuations are weakened at a larger delta, and are correlated with the superconductivity in FeSe. The superconducting volume fraction, estimated by our ac susceptibility experiments, is found to vary inversely with delta. Our findings suggest that the Se-deficient FeSe has an inhomogeneous phase, where the superconductivity is associated with the regions having few or no Se vacancies. As for (Fe1-xCux)Se1-delta, T-c is rapidly suppressed by Cu doping and vanishes around x=0.03. The Se-77 and the Cu-63 NMR linewidths suggest that a local moment is induced at the Fe sites and not at the Cu sites. However, 1/T-1 shows no obvious change with the Cu doping. We suspect that other effects, such as disorder or change in the density of states, have more influence on T-c suppression since a metal-insulator transition, induced by Cu substitution, occurs in the resistivity measurements.

Transparent conducting polycrystalline Al-doped ZnO (AZO) films were deposited on sapphire substrates at substrate temperatures ranging from 200 to 300 degrees C by pulsed laser deposition (PLD). X-ray diffraction measurement shows that the crystalline quality of AZO films was improved with increased substrate temperature. The electrical and optical properties of the AZO films have been systematically studied via various experimental tools. The room-temperature micro-photoluminescence (mu-PL) spectra show a strong ultraviolet (UV) excitonic emission and weak deep-level emission, which indicate low structural defects in the films. A Raman shift of about 11 cm(-1) is observed for the first-order longitudinal-optical (LO) phonon peak for AZO films when compared to the LO phonon peak of bulk ZnO. The Raman spectra obtained with UV resonant excitation at room temperature show multi-phonon LO modes up to third order. Optical response due to free electrons of the AZO films was characterized in the photon energy range from 0.6 to 6.5 eV by spectroscopic ellipsometry (SE). The free electron response was expressed by a simple Drude model combined with the Cauchy model are reported. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
