Band offset calculations for zinc-blende pseudomorphically strained Al1−xGaxN/Al1−yGayN and InxGa1−xN/InyGa1−yN interfaces have been performed on the basis of the model solid theory combined with ab initio calculations. From the results obtained, we have calculated, separately, the valence and conduction band discontinuities of InxGa1−xN/GaN and GaN/Al1−xGaxN as a function of the indium and gallium contents respectively. Using the latter results, we have extended our study to simulate band discontinuities for strained Ga1−xInxN/relaxed Al1−yGayN heterointerfaces. Information derived from this investigation will be useful for the design of lattice mismatched heterostructures in modeling optoelectronic devices emitting at ultraviolet to near infrared wavelengths. 相似文献

As single quantum wells intentionally doped with Be acceptors in the well centre. Thek-non-conserving recombination process involves electrons with momentum up to the Fermi edge and holes localized on the Be
acceptors. The transition from a one-component electron plasma to a two-component electron-hole plasma is studied by comparing
the experimental results with theoretical line shape models. The density-dependent band gap renormalization is determined
for the one-component and the two-component electron-hole plasma. The obtained results are found to agree well with recent
theoretical calculations. 相似文献

A pseudopotential formalism within the virtual crystal approximation in which the effects of composition disorder are involved is applied to the GaxIn1−xAsyP1−y quaternary alloys in conditions of lattice matching to GaAs, InP and ZnSe substrates so as to predict their energy band gaps. Very good agreement is obtained between the calculated values and the available experimental data for the alloy lattice matched to InP and GaAs. The alloy is found to be a direct-gap semiconductor for all y compositions whatever the lattice matching to the substrates of interest. The (Γ→Γ) band-gap ranges and the ionicity character are found to depend considerably on the particular lattice-matched substrates suggesting therefore that, for an appropriate choice of y and the substrate, GaxIn1−xAsyP1−y could provide more diverse opportunities to obtain desired band gaps, which opens up the possibility of discovering new electronic devices with special features and properties. 相似文献

We present a comparison of the band alignment of the Ga1−xInxNyAs1−y active layers on GaAs and InP substrates in the case of conventionally strained and strain-compensated quantum wells. Our calculated results present that the band alignment of the tensile-strained Ga1−xInxNyAs1−y quantum wells on InP substrates is better than than that of the compressively strained Ga1−xInxNyAs1−y quantum wells on GaAs substrates and both substrates provide deeper conduction wells. Therefore, tensile-strained Ga1−xInxNyAs1−y quantum wells with In concentrations of x0.53 on InP substrates can be used safely from the band alignment point of view when TM polarisation is required. Our calculated results also confirm that strain compensation can be used to balance the strain in the well material and it improves especially the band alignment of dilute nitride Ga1−xInxNyAs1−y active layers on GaAs substrates. Our calculations enlighten the intrinsic superiority of N-based lasers and offer the conventionally strained and strain-compensated Ga1−xInxNyAs1−y laser system on GaAs and InP substrates as ideal candidates for high temperature operation. 相似文献

A new method of theoretical investigation of the interdiffusion effect on electron states in quantum dots is proposed. The
main point of the method is the replacement of the “veritable” confining potential formed due to the diffusion by a model
potential, for which the Schr?dinger equation solutions and the energy spectrum are known. In the framework of the proposed
method we calculate the positions of edges of the conduction and heavy hole bands and the absorption coefficient of interband
transitions depending on the diffusion length in spherical InxGa1−x

Highly strained quantum cascade laser (QCL) and quantum well infrared photodetector (QWIPs) structures based on InxGa(1−x)As−InyAl(1−y)As (x>0.8,y<0.3) layers have been grown by molecular beam epitaxy. Conditions of exact stoichiometric growth were used at a temperature of 420°C to produce structures that are suitable for both emission and detection in the 2–5 μm mid-infrared regime. High structural integrity, as assessed by double crystal X-ray diffraction, room temperature photoluminescence and electrical characteristics were observed. Strong room temperature intersubband absorption in highly tensile strained and strain-compensated In0.84Ga0.16As/AlAs/In0.52Al0.48As double barrier quantum wells grown on InP substrates is demonstrated. Γ–Γ intersubband transitions have been observed across a wide range of the mid-infrared spectrum (2–7 μm) in three structures of differing In0.84Ga0.16As well width (30, 45, and 80 Å). We demonstrate short-wavelength IR, intersubband operation in both detection and emission for application in QC and QWIP structures. By pushing the InGaAs–InAlAs system to its ultimate limit, we have obtained the highest band offsets that are theoretically possible in this system both for the Γ–Γ bands and the Γ–X bands, thereby opening up the way for both high power and high efficiency coupled with short-wavelength operation at room temperature. The versatility of this material system and technique in covering a wide range of the infrared spectrum is thus demonstrated. 相似文献

The effects of the In-mole fraction (x) of an InxGa1−xN back barrier layer and the thicknesses of different layers in pseudomorphic AlyGa1−yN/AlN/GaN/InxGa1−xN/GaN heterostructures on band structures and carrier densities were investigated with the help of one-dimensional self-consistent solutions of non-linear Schrödinger-Poisson equations. Strain relaxation limits were also calculated for the investigated AlyGa1−yN barrier layer and InxGa1−xN back barriers. From an experimental point of view, two different optimized structures are suggested, and the possible effects on carrier density and mobility are discussed. 相似文献

We report photoluminescence (PL) spectra of InP/InxGa1-xAs/InAs/InP dot-in-a-well structures grown by MOVPE, with different compositions of the ternary layer. Measurements with atomic force microscopy showed that the largest quantum dot (QD) height is obtained when the InAs QDs are grown on the InxGa1-xAs layer with a mismatch of 1000 ppm, and the height decreases as the mismatch departs from this value. PL spectra of the QDs showed an asymmetric band, which involves transitions between dot energy levels and can be deconvoluted into two peaks. The highest energy PL peak of this band was observed for the sample with the QDs grown on top of the lattice-matched InxGa1-xAs layer and it shifted to lower energies for strained samples as the degree of mismatch increased. Theoretical calculations of the energy levels of the entire structure were used to interpret the obtained PL spectra and determine the possible detection tunability range. 相似文献

In0.53Ga0.47As/In0.53Ga0.23Al0.24As quantum wells (QWs) of various widths have been grown by molecular beam epitaxy on the InP substrate and investigated by electromodulation spectroscopy, i.e. photoreflectance (PR) and contactless electroreflectance (CER). The optical transitions related to the QW barrier and the QW ground and excited states have been clearly observed in PR and CER spectra. The experimental QW transition energies have been compared with theoretical predictions based on an effective mass formalism model. A good agreement between experimental data and theoretical calculations has been observed when the conduction band offset for the In0.53Ga0.47As/In0.53Ga0.23Al0.24As interface equals 60%. In addition, it has been concluded that the conduction band offset for the In0.53Ga0.23Al0.24As/InP interface is close to zero. The obtained results show that InGa(Al)As alloys are very promising materials in the band gap engineering for structures grown on InP substrate. 相似文献

As (y = 0.84) heterostructures are calculated numerically upon a uniaxial compression along the [110] direction. The calculation
indicates a sublinear increase of the effective optical gap in the GaAs0.84P0.16 quantum well, strong mixing of states of light and heavy holes, and merging of the corresponding ground states in the quantum
well of the valence band under a pressure of 4.5–5 kbar. The calculation of matrix elements of the electron-photon interaction
operator for a system of possible interband transitions permits one to determine the optical gain for the TE and TM modes.
The increase in this coefficient by two to fourfold under uniaxial compression agrees with the previously published experimental
data on the increase of the electroluminescence intensity. 相似文献

Different temperature dependence of carrier transport properties between AlxGa1-xN/InyGa1-yN/GaN and AlxGa1-xN/GaN heterostructures 下载免费PDF全文
The temperature dependence of carrier transport properties of AlxGa1-xN/InyGa1-yN/GaN and AlxGa1-xN/GaN heterostructures has been investigated.It is shown that the Hall mobility in Al0.25Ga0.75N/In0.03Ga0.97N/GaN heterostructures is higher than that in Al0.25Ga0.75N/GaN heterostructures at temperatures above 500 K,even the mobility in the former is much lower than that in the latter at 300 K.More importantly,the electron sheet density in Al0.25Ga0.75N/In0.03Ga0.97N/GaN heterostructures decreases slightly,whereas the electron sheet density in Al0.25Ga0.75N/GaN heterostructures gradually increases with increasing temperature above 500 K.It is believed that an electron depletion layer is formed due to the negative polarization charges at the InyGa1-yN/GaN heterointerface induced by the compressive strain in the InyGa1-yN channel,which e-ectively suppresses the parallel conductivity originating from the thermal excitation in the underlying GaN layer at high temperatures. 相似文献

The band structure, density of states of AlxGa1?xN and InyGa1?yN was performed by the first-principles method within the local density approximation. The calculated energy gaps of the AlN, Al0.5Ga0.5N, GaN, In0.5Ga0.5N and InN were 5.48, 4.23, 3.137, 1.274 and 0.504 eV, which were in agreement with the experimental result. The dielectric functions, absorption coefficient and loss function were calculated based on Kramers–Kronig relations. Further more, the relationships between electronic structure and optical properties were investigated theoretically. For AlxGa1?xN and InyGa1?yN materials, the micromechanism of the optical properties were explained. 相似文献
