Abstract

The techniques of photogrammetric reconstruction were compared to the laser scanning in the article. The different conditions and constraints were introduced for reconstructed images, e.g. different materials, lighting condition, camera resolution, number of images in the sequence or using a-pripori calibration. The authors compare the results of surface reconstruction using software tools avaliable for photogrammetric reconstruction. The analysis is preformed for the selected objects with regard to laserscanned models or mathematical models.

Abstract

The review of peculiarity of growth and experimental results of the magneto-transport measurements (longitudinal magneto-resistance Rxx and the Hall resistance Rxy) over a wide interval of temperatures for several samples of Hg1−xCdxTe (x ≈ 0.13–0.15) grown by MBE is presented in this paper. An amazing temperature stability of the SdH-oscillation period and amplitude is observed in the entire temperature interval of measurements up to 50 K. Moreover, the quantum Hall effect (QHE) behaviour of the Hall resistance was shown in the same temperature interval. These peculiarities of the Rxx and Rxy for strained thin layers are interpreted using quantum Hall conductivity (QHC) on topologically protected surface states (TPSS). In the case of not strained layers it is assumed that the QHC on the TPSS contributes also to the conductance of the bulk samples. The experimental results on magneto-transport (QHC and SdH) obtained for the strained 100 nm thickness Hg1−xCdxTe layer are interpreted on the basis of the 8 × 8 kp model and an advantage of the Hg1−xCdxTe as topological insulators is shown. This article is an expanded version of the scientific reports presented at the International Conference on Semiconductor Nanostructures for Optoelectronics and Biosensors 2016 ICSeNOB2016, May 22–25, 2016, Rzeszow, Poland.

Abstract

The paper covers some measurement aspects of transport of electrons through metals and semiconductors in magnetic field – magnetotransport – allowing for the determination of electrical parameters characteristic of three-dimensional (3D) topological insulators (TI) (i.e. those that behave like an insulator inside their volume and have a conductive layer on their surface). A characteristic feature of the 3D TI is also a lack of differences between the chemical composition of the conductive surface and the interior of the material tested and the fact that the electron states for its surface conductivity are topologically protected. In particular, the methods of generating strong magnetic fields, obtaining low temperatures, creating electrical contacts with appropriate geometry were presented, and the measurement methods were reviewed. In addition, the results of magnetotransport measurements obtained for two volumetric samples based on the HgCdTe compound grown with the molecular beam epitaxy method are presented.
