δ-掺杂受主的扩散对GaAs/AlAs量子阱子带的影响（英文）

在15 nm GaAs/5 nm AlAs单量子阱的GaAs阱层中间,分别进行不同浓度剂量的铍受主的δ-掺杂。铍受主在量子阱层中的扩散浓度分布,由扩散方程数值解出。高温下扩散在GaAs阱层中的Be受主将发生电离,成为带负电荷的受主离子,同时也向量子阱价带的子带中引入空穴。带负电荷的扩散受主离子和价带子带中的空穴,它们都是带电粒子在GaAs阱层中按库伦定律激发电场。相比较而言,对于无掺杂同结构量子阱,在空穴的薛定谔中增加了一个额外的微扰势,从而使无掺杂的量子阱价带的子带有所改变。在有效质量和包络函数近似下,通过循环迭代方法,数值求解了既满足薛定谔方程又满足泊松方程的空穴波函数,找出了自洽、收敛的空穴子带的能量本征值。计算发现考虑到这种额外微扰势,重空穴基态子带hh的能量有一个电子伏特变化,并且随着掺杂受主剂量的增加,重空穴基态子带hh向着价带顶红移,计算结果与实验测量符合得很好。

用薛定谔方程和泊松方程自洽计算的方法研究了Al0.75Ga025N/GaN对称双量子阱(DQWs)中子带间跃迁(ISBT)的波长和吸收系数对中间耦合势垒高度、中间耦合势垒宽度、势阱宽度和势垒掺杂浓度的依赖关系.研究发现,第一奇序子带S1ood与第二偶序子带S2evenISBT波长随着中间耦合势垒高度的降低而变短.当中间耦合势垒高度高于0.62 eV时,Slotld-S:一ISBT吸收系数随着中间耦合势垒的降低而增加.当减小AlxGa1-xN/GaN的DQWs中间耦合势垒宽度时,S1odd-S2evenISBT波长将变短,其吸收系数变大.另一方面,当对称DQWs的势阱宽度大于1.9 nm时,S1odd-S2evenISBT波长随着势阱的变窄而减小,S1odd-S2evenISBT吸收系数随着势阱的变窄而增加.当势垒中的掺杂浓度小于1018/cm3时,S1odd-S2evenISBT波长基本不随掺杂浓度变化,而吸收系数随掺杂浓度的增加而增加.这些结果对于利用DQWs实现工作于光纤通信波段超快的、基于三能级或四能级系统的双色光电子器件的应用具有指导意义.

Exploration the p-type doping mechanism of GaAs nanowires from first-principles study

Using first-principle calculations, we present a systematic investigation upon the influence of p-type doping on the structural and electronic properties of H-passivated GaAs nanowires with wurtzite structure. The GaAs nanowire models of different doping types, different doping elements, different doping positions and different doping concentrations are established. The calculated formation energies show that Zn element becomes more competitive or even slightly favored in realizing p-type doping compared to Be element. For an individual Zn incorporation model, Zn atom tends to substitute the subsurface Ga atom. As increasing Zn doping concentration, the p-type doping process becomes more and more difficult. Besides, both interstitial and substitutional doping lead to the distortion of atomic structure near impurity atoms and cause the ionicity of GaAs nanowires enhanced. The p-type doped GaAs nanowires models are all direct band gap semiconductors. After substitutional doping, the total density of state curves shift toward higher energy sides and the Fermi level entering valence bands. Our calculations provide a significant reference for the preparation of p-type doping GaAs nanowire, which has a promising potential application in the field of photocathodes.     

Dependence of the electronic parameters on the InyGa1−yAs quantum well width in modulation-doped AlxGa1−xAs/InyGa1−yAs/GaAs strained single quantum wells

The variation of the electronic parameters in the subband as a function of the In_yGa_1−yAs quantum well width in modulation-doped strained Al_xGa_1−xAs/In_yGa_1−yAs/GaAs single quantum wells were investigated by means of Shubnikov-de Haas (S-dH) and Van der Pauw Hall-effect measurements. The fast Fourier transform (FFT) of the S-dH oscillations and the Hall-effect data showed that the carrier density and the mobility of the two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) occupied in the subband increased as the quantum well width increased. The increase in the 2DEG density with increasing the In_yGa_1−yAs well width originated from an increase in the energy difference between the energy level of the electronic subband and Fermi energy, and the increase in the 2DEG mobility is attributed to a decrease of the scattering source. The electronic subband energies, the corresponding wavefunctions, and the Fermi energies in the Al_xGa_1−xAs/In_yGa_1−yAs/GaAs single quantum wells were calculated by a self-consistent method taking into account the exchange-correlation effect together with the strain and nonparabolicity effects. These results indicate that the electronic parameters in Al_xGa_1−xAs/In_yGa_1−yAs/GaAs strained single quantum wells are significantly dependent on the quantum well width.     

Electronic structure of two coupled Si δ-doped GaAs as dependent on the donor thickness

For the uniform distribution we have theoretically investigated the influence of donor thickness on two coupled Si -doped GaAs structure, at T=0 K. Electronic structure have been calculated by solving the Schrödinger and Poisson equations self-consistently. We thus find the confining potential, the electronic density, the subband energies and their eigen envelope functions, the subband occupations and Fermi energy. From the self-consistent calculation, we have seen that the effective potential profile and the electronic density of two coupled Si -doped GaAs structure are sensitive to the donor thickness while the subband energies and the subband occupations are not sensitive to the donor thickness .

Electronic subband of single Siδ-doped GaAs structures

We have theoretically investigated the subband structure of single Si δ -doped GaAs inserted into a quantum well at T =  0 K. We will discuss the influence of the δ -doping concentration, the δ -layer thickness and diffusion of donor impurities. The spread of the impurities are taken into account in two different models: (i) a uniform distribution and (ii) a nonuniform distribution. In this paper, the nonuniform distribution is different from the Gaussian distribution use of other authors. The electronic structures have been calculated by solving the Schrödinger and Poisson equations self-consistently. We thus find the confining potential, the subband energies and their eigen envelope functions, the subband occupations and Fermi energy.     

Delta(δ)‐doping of semiconductor nanowires

The electronic sub‐band structure of single δ‐layers in GaAs nanowires have been determined via the self‐consistent solution of the Poisson–Schrödinger equations in the effective mass approximation. The spread and sheet density of the δ‐layer were varied systematically between 1–12 nm and 10¹²–10¹³ cm^–2, respectively. A V‐shaped potential is obtained for a δ‐layer of 8 nm with a sheet density of 8 × 10¹² cm^–2at the core resulting in strong confinement with just one sub‐band falling below the Fermi level, but complete depletion occurs for smaller spreads and/or sheet densities. In contrast a W‐like potential is obtained across the diameter with three sub‐bands below the Fermi level when the same δ‐layer is positioned half way between the core and surface due to weaker quantum confinement. Finally, δ‐doping at the surface results in a flat‐band potential extending from the core up to the surface and a thinner tunnel barrier suitable for the formation of low‐resistance ohmic contacts and higher carrier mobilities since the charge distribution has a maximum at the core in all of the aforementioned cases.

Piezoelectric field effects on electron density in a δ-doped AlGaAs/InyGa1-yAs/GaAs pseudomorphic HEMT

We have calculated the low-temperature electron density in a -doped AlGaAs/InGaAs/GaAs heterostructure in the presence of a piezoelectric field. Growth of a strained InGaAs layer on (N11) GaAs substrates causes a piezoelectric field to be built into the quantum well of a pseudomorphic high electron mobility transistor (HEMT). The presence of this field modifies the electronic properties of strained-layer heterostructures. A self-consistent analysis is made of these -doping systems to solve simultaneously the Schrödinger and Poisson equations taking into account exchange-correlation and strain effects. Thus, we have found the confining potential, the electron density, the subband energies, the eigenenvelope wavefunctions, and the Fermi-energy level in the quantum well. We have studied the effects of the InGaAs channel width and the indium composition on the electron density. Our results show a larger increase of the electron density when the calculated value is for a (111) GaAs substrate rather than for equivalent (001) and (311) substrates. We have also investigated the effects of the environmental Al concentration seen by the Si -doped on the electron density. PACS 71.76     

Interband transitions and electronic properties of InAs/GaAs quantum dots embedded in AlxGa1−xAs/GaAs modulation-doped heterostructures

Reflection high-energy electron diffraction, atomic force microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and double-crystal X-ray curves showed that high-quality InAs quantum dot (QD) arrays inserted into GaAs barriers were embedded in an Al_0.3Ga_0.7As/GaAs heterostructure. The temperature-dependent photoluminescence (PL) spectra of the InAs/GaAs QDs showed that the exciton peak corresponding interband transition from the ground electronic subband to the ground heavy-hole subband (E₁-HH₁) was dominantly observed and that the peak position and the full width at half maximum corresponding to the interband transitions of the PL spectrum were dependent on the temperature. The activation energy of the electrons confined in the InAs/GaAs QDs was 115 meV. The electronic subband energy and the energy wave function of the Al_0.3Ga_0.7As/GaAs heterostructures were calculated by using a self-consistent method. The electronic subband energies in the InAs/GaAs QDs were calculated by using a three-dimensional spatial plane wave method, and the value of the calculated (E₁-HH₁) transition in the InAs/GaAs QDs was in reasonable agreement with that obtained from the PL measurement.     

Quantum box resonant tunneling spectroscopy: Experiments and modelisation

We have calculated the potential profile and the electronic levels in resonant tunneling double barrier structures with nanometric lateral dimensions (≤ 500 nm) for various contact doping. At biases for which the box states (laterally confined quantum well) are resonant with the emitter Fermi level, fine structures are expected in the resonant tunneling current. Comparison with I(V) characteristics measured on nanometric GaAs/GaAlAs and GaAs/GaAlAs/InGaAs resonant tunneling diodes shows that our model accounts for the resonance bias voltage and explains the shape of the current peak. The fine structure observed in the current peak provides a spectroscopy of the confined states in the quantum box.     

The effect of hydrostatic pressure on subband structure and optical transitions in modulation-doped quantum well

Within the framework of effective-mass approximation, we have calculated theoretically the effects of hydrostatic pressure and doping concentration on subband structure and optical transitions in modulation-doped GaAs/Al_xGa_1−xAs quantum well for different well widths. The electronic structure of modulation-doped quantum well under the hydrostatic pressure is determined by solving the Schrödinger and Poisson equations self-consistently. The results obtained show that intersubband transitions and the subband energy levels in the modulation-doped quantum well can be significantly modified and controlled by the well width, donor concentration and hydrostatic pressure.
