| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The objective of this research is to fabricate novel excitonic devices using novel materials ZION, which have been developed by the principal investigator (PI), by means of flux-controlled sputter epitaxy. In this project, we succeeded in (1) epitaxial growth of single crystalline ZION films, (2) formation of atomically sharp hetero-interfaces between ZION and ZnO, and (3) demonstration of switching operation of exciton transistors by photo-irradiation to the gate electrodes. We also discussed the mechanism of exciton transport by an external electric field. Based on the hypothesis that the main transport mechanisms are bipolar diffusion and translational motion of dipoles in a non-uniform electric field, we solved the diffusion equation with the electric field parallel to the exciton transport direction as the external force and succeeded in qualitatively describing exciton transport in the devices.
