Optical properties of bulk gallium nitride single crystals grown by chloride–hydride vapor-phase epitaxy

A gallium nitride crystal 5 mm in thickness was grown by chloride–hydride vapor-phase epitaxy on a sapphire substrate, from which the crystal separated during cooling. At an early stage, a three-dimensional growth mode was implemented, followed by a switch to a two-dimensional mode. Spectra of exciton reflection, exciton luminescence, and Raman scattering are studied in several regions characteristic of the sample. Analysis of these spectra and comparison with previously obtained data for thin epitaxial GaN layers with a wide range of silicon doping enabled conclusions about the quality of the crystal lattice in these characteristic regions.

Ultrafast nonlinear optical response and high density excitation effects of the stacking fault exciton in BiI3

On the exciton states localized at a two-dimensional stacking fault interface in a layered crystal BiI₃, some nonlinear optical phenomena clearly appear reflecting large transition probability. The optical Stark shift and other high density exciton effect on the energy-shift and the spectral broadening are observed with clear separation under intense laser pumping by time-resolved measurements. The optical Stark shift is analyzed based on the dressed exciton model. The ultrafast optical response faster than 3 ps for the pump-laser field is confirmed on the Stark shift. Degenerate four-wave-mixing signals show fairly long dephasing time of 40 ps in this system. The dephasing probability depends linearly on the pump-laser intensity in the same manner as that of the spectral line-broadening reflecting the relaxation process. The dephasing mechanisms are understood by the exciton scattering at high density in parallel with the spectral changes. The blue-shift due to the high density excitons are discussed on the basis of exciton-exciton interaction in connection with a phase-space filling theory in two-dimensional systems.     

ZnO单晶的微区光致发光特性研究

ZnO单晶材料以其优良的综合性能在光电子器件方面掀起了研究热潮,因此对ZnO单晶的研究具有重要的理论和实践意义。采用激光辐照的方式,对ZnO单晶进行了光致发光(photoluminescence, PL)光谱实验,分析研究了ZnO单晶在不同温度(低温)和不同激光能量强度照射下其光致发光特性。研究结果表明,ZnO单晶内存在少量杂质及表面氧缺陷,这些结构对其发光特性有一定的影响;在低温条件下,ZnO单晶具有良好的发光特性,且随着温度的提高,发光光谱峰的位置会向长波长方向移动,但强度会减小;当激光光源的强度增大,ZnO单晶的PL发射光谱的强度也会随之增大,且峰的位置和相对强度不变。结合拉曼(Raman)光谱实验,从分子及原子振动、转动类型验证了纤锌矿ZnO单晶的六方晶系结构;配合X射线衍射(X-ray diffraction, XRD)技术,得出ZnO单晶良好的结晶特性以及晶轴取向。     

Resonance reflection of light from two-dimensional superlattice structures

The exciton Bloch states in a quantum well with a two-dimensional periodic potential are studied theoretically. Expressions are derived for the light reflection coefficient and the exciton oscillator strength for a structure with this type of lateral superlattice. The redistribution of the oscillator strength between exciton states with varying period and depth of the potential is analyzed. The limiting cases where the nearly free exciton and tight-binding approximations are applicable are considered.     

Asymmetry reversal in the reflection from a two-dimensional photonic crystal

The measured, angle-dependent, reflection spectra of a two-dimensional GaAs photonic crystal consist of an asymmetric peak on top of an oscillating background. At large angles of incidence (>70 degrees), the asymmetry of the peak is observed to flip for p-polarized light. We explain the observed spectra with a Fano model that includes loss and interference between a resonant waveguide component and direct Fresnel reflection of the layered structure. We show that the reversal of the asymmetry of the line is due to a change in sign of the direct reflection at Brewster's angle.     

Ultrasoft X-ray spectroscopy investigation of the model system Si-SiO2

SiO₂ surface films with different thicknesses (ranging from 20 to 630 Å), grown on a crystal silicon substrate, have been investigated by the method of reflection and scattering of ultrashoft X-rays. It is shown on the basis of a simultaneous analysis of the SiL _{2, 3} reflection spectra and the scattering indicatrix that the critical angle θ_c for total external reflection for SiO₂ at λ = 57 Å lies in the range 4.5 °–°. The angular dependence of the thickness of the surface layer that forms the specular reflection is obtained. It is shown that the surface layer, whose thickness corresponds to the penetration depth of the radiation into the material with glancing angle close to the critical value θ_c, plays a large role in the formation of the anomalous scattering peak (Yoneda peak).     

Excitons in ZnP2 crystals in the electric field of a Schottky barrier

A study is made of the effect of electric fields on the exciton states of β-ZnP₂ crystals (T=77 K) in structures with Schottky barriers formed by depositing semitransparent electrically-conducting InSnO₂ films on the crystal surface. The observed changes in the exciton optical reflection spectra when an electrical potential is applied to a barrier are explained by the shift and broadening of the exciton level caused by the Stark effect. The experimental data are compared with calculations based on a theory of exciton optical reflection from planar spatially nonuniform structures. Fiz. Tverd.

Experimental determination of the charge-transfer exciton band width in anthracene-PMDA crystal

The charge-transfer (CT) exciton is investigated on the reflection and luminescence spectra of isotopically mixed anthracene-PMDA crystals. The observed features are analyzed by the coherent potential approximation. It is concluded that the CT exciton in this crystal has the band width of about 100 cm^?1.     

Dependence of the exciton-polariton photoluminescence lineshape in GaAs on epitaxial layer thickness

The lineshape of the exciton-polariton photoluminescence spectra in thin undoped GaAs layers is observed to be a function of the layer thickness. A doublet peak (or alternatively a single peak with a “reabsorption” dip at the maximum) in thick samples is transformed into a “single” peak as the layer thickness is reduced by etching. This behavior is in agreement with a model based on enhanced scattering near the exciton energy. This scattering is a function of the concentration of scattering centers which is fixed in these samples and of the average scattering length; (i.e., the sample thickness).     

Resonant inelastic x-ray scattering study of charge excitations in La(2)CuO(4)

We report a resonant inelastic x-ray scattering study of the dispersion relations of charge-transfer excitations in insulating La(2)CuO(4).. These data reveal two peaks, both of which show two-dimensional characteristics. The lowest energy excitation has a gap energy of approximately 2.2 eV at the zone enter, and a dispersion of approximately 1 eV. The spectral weight of this mode becomes dramatically smaller around (pi, pi). The second peak shows a smaller dispersion ( approximately 0.5 eV) with a zone-center energy of approximately 3.9 eV. We argue that these are both highly dispersive exciton modes damped by the presence of the electron-hole continuum.     

The vibrational exciton spectrum of p-nitrotoluene crystal film

The exciton absorption spectrum of p-nitrotoluene crystal film has been investigated by polarized IR radiation at low temperature. The Raman scattering in the crystalline and the solution state has been studied as an aid in the interpretation of the crystal spectrum. The observed exciton splittings are small and could be measured with certainty for only a few vibrations. The interpretation of the low temperature spectrum conforms to the crystal structure determined at room temperature by Barve and Pant.     

Effect of additional exciton-polariton waves on the analytic properties of the optical response functions of thin crystal plates

The analytic properties of the complex amplitude reflection and transmission coefficients of plane-parallel crystal plates in the exciton spectral region in the presence of additional waves are considered in a wide range of plate thicknesses and angles of incidence of light. It is shown that violations of the classical amplitude-phase Kramers-Kronig relations for the reflection and transmission can be described quantitatively by the contributions of the reflection and transmission zeros appearing due to the interference of ordinary and additional exciton-polariton waves. The decrease in the total absorption coefficient in the vicinity of the exciton resonance is also explained by the presence of transmission zeros in the upper half-plane of the complex frequency.     

Coherent transmission and reflection of a two-dimensional planar photonic crystal

A method for modeling the radial distribution function for particles of a two-dimensional planar photonic crystal in the form of a monolayer of spatially ordered monodisperse spherical particles is proposed. The coherent transmission and reflection coefficients for layers under normal illumination are calculated in the quasi-crystalline approximation of the multiple wave scattering theory. The dependence of the coherent transmission and reflection of the layer on the degree of ordering of the spherical particles is investigated. The influence of the long-range order on the coherent transmission and reflection coefficients for layers with triangular, square, and hexagonal lattices is estimated. Monolayers of weakly absorbing dielectric and strongly absorbing metallic particles are considered.     

Charge transport through ferromagnet/two-dimensional electron gas/d-wave superconductor junctions with Rashba spin-orbit coupling

Along the lines of Blonder, Tinkham and Klapwijk, we investigate the charge transport through ferromagnet/two-dimensional electronic gas/d-wave superconductor (F/2DEG/S) junctions in the presence of Rashba spin-orbit (SO) coupling and focus our attention on the interplay between spin polarization and spin precession. At zero spin polarization, the spin-mixing scattering resulted from Rashba SO coupling decreases the zero-bias conductance peak. Under spin polarization, spin precession introduces novel Andreev reflection, which competes with the effect of spin-mixing scattering. If the F layer is a half metal, the later effect is overwhelmed by that of novel Andreev reflection. As a result, the zero-bias conductance dip caused by spin polarization is enhanced, and at strong Rashba SO coupling, a split zero-bias peak is found in the gap. In an intermediate region where the two effects are comparable with each other, the zero-bias conductance shows a reentrant behavior as a function of Rashba SO coupling.

Scattering of an electromagnetic wave from a slightly random dielectric surface: Yoneda peak and Brewster angle in incoherent scattering

Abstract

The scattering of an electromagnetic wave from a two-dimensional, slightly rough dielectric surface is studied based on the stochastic functional approach. It is shown that in the case of TM(p)-polarized incidence there exists a zero in the incoherent scattering at the angle we call the ‘Brewster scattering angle’, which depends on the incident angle in contrast to the Brewster angle of coherent reflection which is independent of the incident angle, that a ‘quasi-anomalous scattering’ can generally occur in the optically denser medium at the critical angle of total reflection in both TE(s)- and TM(p)-polarized incidence, regardless of which side of the random surface is illuminated, and that the Yoneda peak in the x-ray scattering can be interpreted as a special case of the quasi-anomalous scattering which becomes sharper when the relative refractive index becomes closer to unity as in the x-ray region. Cross-polarized scattering and enhanced backscattering due to the second-order effect are also calculated.
