测量了不同阱宽In0.2Ga0.8As/GaAs单量子阱的PL谱的峰值波长和荧光谱线半峰全宽随温度的变化。利用Varshni公式对实验峰值波长进行拟合,得到了新的参数。结果表明,无位错应变量子阱带隙仍具有其体材料的特性:荧光谱线半峰全宽随温度升高迅速展宽,这主要归因于声子关联作用增强和激子热离化为自由载流子所致;阱宽越窄荧光峰值能量越高,将其与量子尺寸效应的理论计算结果进行了比较。文中还考察了谱线半峰全宽和阱宽的关系,利用合金无序对这一现象进行了解释。

THz spectroscopy of diluted magnetic semiconductors and semiconductor quantum structures in ultrahigh magnetic fields

Magneto-absorption spectra in ferromagnetic semiconductor In_1−xMn_xAs films and self-organized PbSe/PbEuTe quantum dot superlattices have been studied in the terahertz range at very high magnetic fields up to 500 T. Both heavy hole (HH) and light hole (LH) cyclotron resonance (CR) have been observed in bulk In_1−xMn_xAs thin films with different Mn concentrations. The detailed Landau level calculation in terms of the effective mass approximation well explained the CR peak positions, line shapes and the dependence of the circular polarization of the incident light on the CR spectra. In InMnAs/GaSb heterostructures that have higher ferromagnetic transition temperature (T_c) than the bulk samples, the observed HH and LH cyclotron masses are larger than that in the bulk thin films. We found that the CR peak position and its line shape suddenly change in the vicinity of the ferromagnetic transition temperature, suggesting the change in the electronic structure due to the ferromagnetic transition. Electron CR in PbSe/PbEuTe quantum dots has been observed and it was found that the effective mass of the electrons is considerably modified by the quantum confinement potential and the lattice strain around the dots. A large wavelength dependence of the absorption intensity was observed due to the interference effect of the radiation inside the sample.     

Parameter-dependent third-order optical nonlinearity in a CdSe/ZnS quantum dot quantum well in the vicinity of a gold nanoparticle

The nonlinear optical properties of the CdSe/ZnS quantum dot quantum well (QDQW) in the vicinity of a spherical metal nano-particle (MNP) have been described. The third-order nonlinear optical susceptibility induced by the transition between E₁ (inside the well) and E₂ (outside the well) has been calculated for the third-harmonic generation (THG) under the effective mass approximation and modified by the local field theory. The parameters-dependent third-order nonlinear optical susceptibility for the THG has been specifically explored and the influence of the distance between the QDQW and the MNP on the third-order susceptibility for the THG in the system has been shown and analyzed.     

On the second-order phase transition initiated by a strong electron-phonon interaction

A model of a crystal with a strong electron-phonon interaction that initiates a second-order phase transition has been considered. The purpose of the study is to determine the temperature dependence of the thermodynamic potential of the symmetric phase in the temperature range in the immediate vicinity of the transition temperature T _C for this model. The problem has been solved using the quantum Matsubara Green’s function approach, which takes into account the influence of both thermal and quantum fluctuations. It has been demonstrated that fluctuation coherent deformations of the crystal lattice with the same symmetry as in the ordered phase appear to be energetically favorable at T > T _C due to the interaction with the electronic subsystem. The results obtained have made it possible to construct the model of the second-order phase transition near the Curie point T _C.     

Diamagnetic susceptibility of hydrogenic donor impurity in low-dimensional semiconducting systems

The binding energies of a hydrogenic donor both in the parabolic and non-parabolic conduction band model within the effective mass approximation have been computed for the low-dimensional semiconducting systems (LDSS) like quantum well, quantum well wire and quantum dot taking GaAs/Al_xGa_1−xAs systems as an example. It is observed that the effect of non-parabolicity is not effective when the system goes to lower dimensionality. The diamagnetic susceptibility of a hydrogenic donor impurity has also been computed in these LDSS in the infinite barrier model. Since no theoretical or experimental works on the diamagnetic susceptibility of LDSS are available in the literature, as a realistic case the diamagnetic susceptibility has been computed in the finite barrier model (x=0.3) for a quantum well and the results are discussed in the light of semiconductor-metal transition.     

Optical properties of 1.3 μm room temperature emitting InAs quantum dots covered by In0.4Ga0.6As/GaAs hetero-capping layer

Room temperature 1.3 μm emitting InAs quantum dots (QDs) covered by an In_0.4Ga_0.6As/GaAs strain reducing layer (SRL) have been fabricated by solid source molecular beam epitaxy (SSMBE) using the Stranski–Krastanov growth mode. The sample used has been investigated by temperature and excitation power dependent photoluminescence (PL), photoluminescence excitation (PLE), and time resolved photoluminescence (TRPL) experiments. Three emission peaks are apparent in the low temperature PL spectrum. We have found, through PLE measurement, a single quantum dot ground state and the corresponding first excited state with relatively large energy spacing. This attribute has been confirmed by TRPL measurements which allow comparison of the dynamics of the ground state with that of the excited states. Optical transitions related to the InGaAs quantum well have been also identified. Over the whole temperature range, the PL intensity is found to exhibit an anomalous increase with increasing temperatures up to 100 K and then followed by a drop by three orders of magnitude. Carrier’s activation energy out of the quantum dots is found to be close to the energy difference between each two subsequent transition energies. PACS 68.65.Ac; 68.65.Hb; 78.67.Hc     

Tensile-strained 1.3 μm InGaAs/InGaAlAs quantum well structure of high temperature characteristics

A new tensile strained InGaAs/InGaAlAs quantum well structure in the 1.3 μm wavelength region is proposed for high temperature characteristics via quantum well band structure and optical gain calculations. To obtain such features, a tensile-strained InGaAs/InGaAlAs quantum well structure, which emits light dominated by TM polarization, is considered. This proposed structure has very high temperature characteristics (T ₀ > 130 K) due to its high density of state at the first transition edge. This results clearly show the potential of tensile strained quantum well structure usage for the high temperature operation of quantum well semiconductor lasers.     

Optical study of single InAs on In0.12Ga0.88As self-assembled quantum dots: biexciton binding energy dependence on the dots size

Single self-assembled InAs quantum dots embedded in a In_0.12Ga_0.88As quantum well and emitting in the near infrared have been optically investigated. The dependence on the excitation power of the single quantum dot photoluminescence has been used to identify the emission of the biexciton complex. The biexciton binding energy, which has been measured for a dozen dots, increases with increasing exciton transition energy for the dot sizes investigated in the present work, as a consequence of stronger confinement in a smaller quantum dot. The obtained data is compared with experimental results available in the literature for InAs quantum dots. PACS 78.67.Hc; 73.21.La; 78.55.Cr     

Magnetic properties of GaAs/δ〈Mn〉/GaAs/In x Ga1 − x As/GaAs quantum wells

The field and temperature dependences of the magnetization of GaAs/δ〈Mn〉/GaAs/In _x Ga_{1 ? x} As/GaAs quantum wells with the δ〈Mn〉 layer separated from the well by a 3-nm GaAs spacer have been studied in the temperature range of 3–300 K in a magnetic field up to 6 T. An external magnetic-field-induced phase transition to a ferromagnetic state with a magnetization hysteresis loop shifted from a zero magnetic field has been found to occur at a temperature below 40 K. A theoretical model is proposed that implies the coexistence of ferromagnetically and antiferromagnetically ordered regions within the GaAs layers.     

QUANTUM EFFICIENCY AND MULTIPHONON NONRADIATIVE TRANSITION OF Er3+ IONS IN FLUORIDE GLASS

Optical absorption, emission and excitation spectra, lifetimes of ⁴S_3/2 state and ⁴F_9/2 state from 10K to 500K, and Raman spectra were measured for Er³⁺ ions in fluoride glass. The radiative transition probabilities were calculated on the basis of Judd-Ofelt theory. The nonradiative transition probabilities and the quantum efficiencies were determined by calculating the difference between the measured lifetimes and the calculated radiative transition probabilities. The temperature dependence of nonradiative transition provavility was investigated using the Huang-Rhys theory of multiphonon relaxation , in which two kinds of phonons as well as the parameter s were taken into consideration. A fairly good agreement of the theoretical calculation with the experimental results has been obtained. The value of s is estimated and the effect of s is discussed.
