Abstract
Photo- and electroluminescence in p–i–n structures with compensated GaAs/AlGaAs quantum wells have been studied. Two structures with different doping profiles were studied: with spatial separation of donors and acceptors (donors are localized in quantum wells, while acceptors are localized in barriers) and without it (both donors and acceptors are localized in quantum wells). The studies were carried out in the near-IR range at helium temperatures. Luminescence lines due to electron transitions from donor states to the first heavy-hole subband (D–hh1) and from the first electron subband to acceptor states (e1–A) have been identified. At large electric currents, the near-IR lasing due to these transitions was observed in the electroluminescence spectra. It has been found that the integrated lasing intensity related to the D–hh1 transitions in the structure without a spatial separation of donors and acceptors was three times higher than in the structure with the spatial separation. It is these transitions that ensure effective depletion of donor levels, which is important for the donor-assisted terahertz emission at e1–D electron transitions. The results of the work can be used in the development of electrically pumped terahertz emitters.

Abstract
The influence of the nanoscale coating of iron arachinate (ArchFe) on the properties of CdS has been studied. We obtained changes in the morphology and potential of the surface, as well as in the photosensitivity of the CdS/ArchFe hybrid structure compared to unmodified CdS. We have shown the possibility of creating a heterophase structure with photosensitivity and properties of a semimagnetic semiconductor after annealing, which leads to sublimation of the organic component of the coating and diffusion of Fe deep into CdS, accompanied by the formation of nanosized FeS inclusions.

Abstract
Voltage drop process in power Si diode switched to a conducting state by an impact-ionization wave, which is excited by overvoltage pulse with a subnanosecond rise time, has been investigated. In experiments, a reverse voltage pulse was applied to a diode with a diameter of 6 mm without preliminary reverse bias, which provided the average rate of voltage rise across the diode dU/dt in the range of 1–10 kV/ns. Numerical simulations showed that calculated and experimentally observed voltage waveforms are in good quantitative agreement in the case when an active area of the structure Sa, through which a switching current flows, increases with dU/dt value increasing. It was shown that at dU/dt < 2 kV/ns the active area tends to zero, and at dU/dt > 10 kV/ns it approaches the total area of the structure. Comparison with the results of similar studies shows that the increase in the active area of the structure with the increase in the Sa value does not depend on the material of the structure (silicon and gallium arsenide), the number of layers in the semiconductor structure (diodes and thyristors), and also on the value of the initial bias voltage.

Abstract
A method for etching the InAs/InAsSbP photodiode heterostructures using a new precision etchant HBr : KMnO4 with a low constant etching rate was proposed. The change in the ratio of the etchant components makes it possible to set the etching rate in the range of 0.1–1.6 μm/min without deterioration of the quality of the side semiconductor surface. The use of the new etchant resulted in reducing the reverse dark currents of the InAs/InAsSbP photodiodes as well as the spread of dark current value from the device to the device. Samples with a sensitive area diameter of 300 μm demonstrate the minimum current density j = 5.7 × 10–2 A/cm2 and the typical current density j = 15.5 × 10–2 A/cm2. The maximum value of R0 at room temperature is 1654 Ohm, while the R0A product reaches 1.17 Ohm cm2.

Abstract
The epitaxial growth technique of InGaAs photodiode structures based on a digital InGaAs/GaAs metamorphic buffer layer by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition has been developed. The spectral dependence of the photocurrent of photodiodes based on the produced structures has a maximum at the 1.24 μm wavelength. The photosensitivity range at 10% of peak is 1.17–1.29 μm at room temperature. The current-voltage characteristics in the temperature range 9–300 K were investigated. It is shown that the dark current consists of generation-recombination and tunneling components. The dark current density at room temperature was 8 × 10–5 A/cm2 with a reverse bias of –5 V.

Abstract
The low-temperature photoluminescence (PL) and PL excitation (PLE) spectra of two systems of CdTe quantum wells (QWs) separated by CdMnTe and CdMgTe barriers 20 nm thick are studied. The experimental PL spectra are compared with calculations that take into account the exciton effect and the influence of internal strains. The scatter of our data does not exceed that expected for monolayer fluctuations of the QW width. In the PLE spectra of a thick QW, bands were found that correspond to the increase of PL from a thick QW upon excitation of a neighbor narrow QW. The mechanism of energy transfer between QWs separated by thick barriers is discussed.

Abstract
In this paper, experiments on laser ablation of ZnS in atmospheric air using laser pulses with different energies and durations have been carried out. In the process of ablation processing, zinc sulfide nanoparticles with different stoichiometric ratio of elements were obtained. By varying the parameters, it is possible to control changes in the size of nanoparticles and their composition. As a result of studies of synthesized nanoparticles, Raman scattering spectra, energy dispersion analysis results, and images of deposited nanoparticles were obtained. Conclusions are drawn about the suitability of nanopowder synthesis approaches for the subsequent production of stable colloidal solutions.

Abstract
The generation of triboelectric current during friction of diamond probes on the surface of p-Si substrates with a native oxide layer was studied. The choice of probes with different doping, as well as substrates with different surface orientations, made it possible to establish the determining influence of the probe-surface work functions difference on the direction and value of the triboelectric current. The generation of triboelectric current occurs due to the tunneling of non-equilibrium charge carriers resulting from the chemical bonds breaking during friction. Under illumination conditions, an increase in the triboelectric current was observed, as well as the photocurrent appearance due to the charge carriers separation in the space charge region.

Abstract
Using high-temperature annealing of thin gold nanofilms deposited onto the (001) surface of doped p-GaAs crystal with an ultrathin oxide layer, the nanoclusters of gold (Au2Ga alloy) are fabricated. The gold clusters have the wedge shapes with rectangular bases elongated in [110] direction at GaAs(001) surface. This assertion is confirmed by the data of diagnostics of Au/p-GaAs(001) structures. Anisotropic plasmons localized on equally oriented wedge-shaped Au (Au2Ga) clusters are investigated with the optical reflectance anisotropy spectroscopy and spectroscopy of polarized light reflection. It is shown that the spectral peak at the energy about 0.9 eV in the near infrared range is associated with plasmons polarized along the longest sides of clusters in crystallographic direction [110]. Another peak—at the energy of 1.8 eV—is due to plasmons having polarization in direction ([1bar {1}0]).
