However, there are still some disagreements regarding the origin of the D-center, as well as a lack of sufficient understanding of the related optical transitions and carrier capture processes. In this work, based on first-principles calculations, the optoelectronic properties of boron-related point defects in 4H-SiC is systematically investigated, and the passivation of hydrogen on B<sub>C</sub> defects is also evaluated. The calculated 0/−1 transition levels of substitutional defect B<sub>C</sub> are very close to the activation energies of the D-center observed in experiments. Furthermore, the photoluminescence (PL) peak positions and non-radiative hole capture cross-section of B<sub>C</sub> defects calculated are all in good agreement with the experimental values of the D-center. This confirms that the substitutional defects B<sub>C</sub> are responsible for the D-center in 4H-SiC. These calculation results reveal that the hydrogen atom in 4H-SiC prefers to combine with the B<sub>C</sub> defects and to passivate the deep acceptor level within the bandgap in 4H-SiC by forming the B<sub>C</sub>-H complex. This work effectively identifies and passivates the D-center in 4H-SiC, providing valuable insights for improving the performance of various semiconductor materials affected by deep defects.</p>","PeriodicalId":7896,"journal":{"name":"Annalen der Physik","volume":"537 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2024-12-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143595626","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The theoretical and simulation results of the optical sideband suppression ratio (OSSR) and radio frequency spurious suppression ratio (RFSSR) are 58.36dB, 57.30dB, and 52.39dB, 52.06dB, respectively. The simulation values are almost consistent with the theoretical analysis results, which proves that the proposed scheme is feasible.

Single frequency (SF) and ultrafast lasers represent two types of highly coherent light sources, each with distinct time-frequency characteristics. The advent of novel technologies based on electro-optics and nonlinear optics has bridged the gap between these two types of lasers, enabling coherent conversion between them. This review examines several technologies that enable coherent conversion between SF and ultrafast lasers. The generation of ultrafast pulses by modulation of an SF laser, covering both electro-optic modulation (EOM) and optic-optic modulation (OOM) is discussed. With respect to Kerr soliton generation by SF laser-induced parametric frequency conversion, schemes with and without resonator structure are compared and discussed. The extraction of a single comb line from an ultrafast laser using stimulated Brillouin scattering is also presented. The advent of new technologies using all-polarization-maintaining fiber structures has made fiber Brillouin amplification a practical and robust solution for single comb line extraction. These coherent lasers with customizable time and frequency characteristics are poised to become essential building blocks in future photonic technologies.</p>","PeriodicalId":7896,"journal":{"name":"Annalen der Physik","volume":"537 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2024-12-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143793751","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Hawking effect on the FEF of quantum states in tripartite systems is investigated. In this study, it is showed that the Hawking effect of a black hole may both decrease and increase the FEF in Schwarzschild spacetime. For an initial X-type state, it is found that the Hawking effect of the black hole has both positive and negative impacts on the FEF of Dirac fields, depending on the selection of initial states. For an initial W-like state, the Hawking effect of the black hole has only a positive impact on the FEF of Dirac fields, independent of the selection of initial states.
