本文将基于有效质量近似下的变分法,理论研究了纤锌矿InGaN/GaN staggered量子阱中的激子态和光学性质.数值结果显示了InGaN量子阱中的量子尺寸和staggered受限垒对束缚于量子阱中的激子态和光学性质有着明显的影响.当阱宽增加时,量子受限效应减弱,激子结合能降低,带间发光波长增加.另一方面,当量子阱中staggered受限势增加时,量子受限效应增强,激子结合能升高,带间发光波长降低.本文的理论结果证明了可以通过调节staggered垒高和量子尺寸来调控纤锌矿InGaN staggered量子阱中的激子态和光学性质.     

Phonon-assisted polar exciton–transitions in self-organized InAs/GaAs quantum dots

Phonon-assisted exciton transitions are investigated for self-organized InAs/GaAs quantum dots (QDs) using selectively excited photoluminescence (PL) and PL excitation spectroscopy. The results unambiguously demonstrate intrinsic recombination in the coherent InAs/GaAs QDs and the absence of a Stokes shift between ground state absorption and emission. Phonon-sidebands corresponding to a phonon energy of 34 meV are resolved and Huang–Rhys parameters of 0.015 and 0.08 are found for phonon-assisted emission and absorption, respectively, which are about one order of magnitude larger than in bulk InAs. Calculations of the exciton–LO–phonon interaction based on an adiabatic approximation and realistic wave functions for ideal pyramidal InAs/GaAs QDs show this enhanced polar coupling to result from the particular confinement and the strain-induced piezoelectric potential in such strained low-symmetry QDs.

Re-charging the luminescence states in CdSe/ZnS quantum dots at the conjugation to Osteopontin antibodies

The paper presents the original study of photoluminescence (PL) and Raman scattering spectra of core–shell CdSe/ZnS quantum dots (QDs) covered by the amine-derivatized polyethylene glycol (PEG) with luminescence interface states. First commercially available CdSe/ZnS QDs with emission at 640 nm (1.94 eV) covered by PEG polymer have been studied in nonconjugated states. PL spectra of nonconjugated QDs are characterized by a superposition of PL bands related to exciton emission in a CdSe core and to the hot electron–hole recombination via high energy luminescence states. The study of high energy PL bands in QDs at different temperatures has shown that these PL bands are related to luminescence interface states at the CdSe/ZnS or ZnS/polymer interface. Then CdSe/ZnS QDs have been conjugated with biomolecules—the Osteopontin antibodies. It is revealed that the PL spectrum of bioconjugated QDs changed essentially with decreasing hot electron–hole recombination flow via luminescence interface states. It is shown that the QD bioconjugation process to Osteopontin antibodies is complex and includes the covalent and electrostatic interactions between them. The variation of PL spectra due to the bioconjugation is explained on the basis of electrostatic interaction between the QDs and biomolecule dipoles that stimulates re-charging QD interface states. The study of Raman scattering of bioconjugated CdSe/ZnS QDs has confirmed that the antibody molecules have the electric dipoles. It is shown that CdSe/ZnS QDs with luminescence interface states are promising for the study of bioconjugation effects with specific antibodies and can be a powerful technique in biology and medicine.     

ZnS薄膜参数对有机/无机复合发光器件特性的影响

半导体量子点(QDs)具有发光效率高和发光波长可调等特点。采用胶体CdSe QDs作电致发光器件的有源材料,TPD(N,N′-biphenyl-N,N′-bis-(3-methylphenyl)-1,1′-biphenyl-4,4′-diamine)作空穴传输层,ZnS作电子传输层,研究了有机/无机复合发光器件ITO/TPD/CdSe QDs/ZnS/Ag的电致发光特性。TPD和CdSe QDs薄膜采用旋涂方法、ZnS薄膜采用磁控溅射方法沉积,器件表面平整。CdSe QDs的光致发光和电致发光谱峰位波长均位于～580 nm,属于量子点的带边激子发光。我们与以前的ITO/ZnS/CdSe QDs/ZnS/Ag发光器件结构进行了对比,发现新的器件结构的电致发光谱没有观察到QDs表面态的发光,而且新器件的发光强度是ITO/ZnS/CdSe QDs/ZnS/Ag结构的～10倍。发光效率的提高归因于碰撞激发与载流子注入两种发光机制并存的结果：一方面电子经过ZnS 层加速后,碰撞激发CdSe QDs发光;另一方面,空穴从TPD层注入CdSe QDs 与QDs中激发的电子复合发光。我们进一步研究了ZnS电子加速层厚度对发光特性的影响,选择ZnS薄膜的厚度分别是80,120 和160 nm,发现随着ZnS层厚度增大,器件启亮电压升高,EL强度增大,但是击穿电压降低。EL峰位随着ZnS厚度的减小发生明显蓝移,对上述实验现象进行了机理解释。     

Optical properties of exciton confinement in wurtzite ZnO/MgxZn1−xO coupled quantum dots

Based on the framework of effective-mass approximation and variational approach, optical properties of exciton are investigated theoretically in ZnO/Mg_xZn_1−xO vertically coupled quantum dots (QDs), with considering the three-dimensional confinement of electron and hole pair and the strong built-in electric field effects due to the piezoelectricity and spontaneous polarization. The exciton binding energy, the emission wavelength and the oscillator strength as functions of the different structural parameters (the dot height and the barrier thickness between the coupled wurtzite ZnO QDs) are calculated with the built-in electric field in detail. The results elucidate that structural parameters have a significant influence on the exciton state and optical properties of ZnO coupled QDs. These results show the optical and electronic properties of the quantum dot that can be controlled and also tuned through the nanoparticle size variation.

The device is characterized by I-V curve and electroluminescence, and a single sharp exciton emission line at 966nm is observed.

Temperature dependent single photon emission in InP/GaInP quantum dots

Intensity correlation measurements on single InP/GaInP quantum dots (QDs) show antibunching at zero delay time, indicative of single photon emission. The antibunching time τ_R increases or decreases with temperature depending on the QD size as a result of the competition between: (1) thermal excitation of holes dominant in smaller QDs and (2) dark-to-bright exciton transition dominant in larger QDs. The antibunching minimum g⁽²⁾(0) remains below 0.2 up to 45 K.     

铜掺杂氧化锌纳米棒的非线性光学响应竞争特性

利用飞秒脉冲激光激发Cu掺杂ZnO纳米棒,研究其特有的非线性光学性质和激发机制。在激发波长为750 nm的荧光光谱中,二次谐波峰非常弱,几乎可以忽略,存在非常强的激子发光峰和Cu掺杂导致缺陷发光峰。激发强度的增大会导致这两个发光峰强度呈非线性增大,激子发光峰位产生明显红移,而缺陷发光峰位没有变化。进一步增大激发强度,缺陷发光峰强度会出现饱和甚至有所下降,而激子发光峰强度持续增大。当激发波长增加到760 nm时,从样品的荧光光谱可以清楚地识别到二次谐波峰和激子发光峰以及缺陷发光峰并存。随着激发波长的进一步增加,二次谐波强度不断增大,而激子发光峰和缺陷发光峰的强度却随之下降。当激发波长为790 nm和800 nm时,未发现激子发光峰和缺陷发光峰,非线性光谱以二次谐波为主导。研究结果表明,通过选择合适的激发波长和激发强度,可以实现发光颜色的转变,使得Cu掺杂ZnO纳米棒在全光显示方面具有潜在的发展前景。     

Fluorescence properties of Bi4Ge3O12(BGO) single crystals under laser excitation: Excited state dynamics and saturation effects

Laser-excited techniques were used to investigate the optical properties of bismuth germanate crystals. Absorption, reflectivity, excitation, emission, lifetime, time-resolved fluorescence, photoconductivity, thermally stimulated conductivity measurements were performed at various temperatures on single crystals of different origins.The absorption is shown to occur in bismuth and germanate centers while both intrinsic and perturbed Bi³⁺ ions together with impurities contribute to the total fluorescence.The emission mechanism at room temperature involves a thermally activated energy migration, and at low temperature localized emitting centers. Formation of deep holes in the wide emission band at room temperature reveals saturation effects on various luminescent centers, promoted by energy migration. Trapped exciton models are proposed to explain the excited state dynamics occurring at low and room temperature.
