ZnCdTe-ZnTe多量子阱的光泵受激发射

本文报导了ＺｎＣｄＴｅ－ＺｎＴｅ多量子阱的受激发射机理．阈值时（Ｊｔｈ）受激发射峰相对于激子吸收峰的能量差（１９ｍｅＶ）与激子束缚能接近．激发光强度在３Ｊｔｈ～４．８Ｊｔｈ之间变化时，该能量差随激发光强度的变化规律与激子—激子散射过程的理论结果符合得很好，从而把该材料在上述激发光强内的受激发射机理归结为激子－激子散射过程     

半导体量子阱中自由激子稳态荧光特征

在不同晶格温度和不同激发光强度下，测量了四元系GaInAsSb/GaAlAsSb单量子阱中自由激子的荧光光谱，导出了稳态光谱测量条件下自由激子荧光强度与激发光强度和晶格温度的一般性公式.计算结果表明，激子相对占有数引起的温度和密度效应会影响激子发光的强度关系.根据本文的简单模型，线性比例系数I/I₀实际上综合地反映了量子阱中自由激子的荧光效率，而从激子荧光强度的Arrhenius图的最佳拟合中不仅可以得到激子的束缚能和激活能，而且还能估计出量子阱材料的本底浓度和散射时间常数. 关键词：     

通过飞秒泵浦探测技术研究PbS纳米颗粒的激发态瞬态动力学过程

利用飞秒泵浦探测技术研究了PbS半导体纳米颗粒复合的SiO₂溶胶凝胶薄膜的瞬态动力学过程。通过改变激发探测波长和激发光强度,研究引起PbS半导体纳米颗粒的非线性吸收的两种机制。当激发探测波长选在激子吸收峰附近(620nm)时,由于激子的饱和吸收引起的光致漂白,当激发波长选在激子能态的低能侧(753,800nm),同时观察到激子的饱和吸收和双激子效应引起的光致吸收。研究了激子的饱和吸收和双激子效应引起的激发态吸收随激发态电子-空穴对浓度的变化关系,表明双激子效应与载流子浓度有很大关系。在高激发强度下,双激子效应引起的诱导吸收远远大于激子跃迁引起的光致漂白,双激子效应在非线性吸收中起着决定性作用。

纳米结构ZnO晶体薄膜室温紫外激光发射

文章综述了纳米结构的氧化锌半导体薄膜在室温下自由激子的自发辐射以及由自由激子引起的受激发射的特性，阐述了在不同激发密度下室温紫外受激发射的机理．纳米结构氧化锌半导体薄膜是用激光分子束外延(L-MBE)技术生长在蓝宝石衬底上的．薄膜由密集而规则排列的纳米尺度的六角柱组成．这些纳米六角柱起着限制激子运动的作用，激子的量子尺寸效应，使激子的跃迁振子强度大幅度增强．同时六角柱之间的晶面组成了一个天然的激光谐振腔．室温下用三倍频的YAG脉冲激光激发，可从这些纳米结构的氧化锌薄膜中观测到很强的紫外激光发射．研究发现，在中等激发密度下，紫外受激发射是由于激子与激子间碰撞而引起的辐射复合．在高密度激发条件下，由于激子趋于离化，紫外受激发射主要由电子-空穴等离子体的辐射复合引起．由于纳米结构中激子的跃迁振子增强效应，在室温下测量到的光学增益高达320cm^-1，这比在同样条件下测量到的块状氧化锌晶体的光学增益要高一个量级以上．与传统的电子-空穴等离子体激光辐射相比，激子引起的受激发射可在较低的激发密度条件下实现．这在实际应用上很有价值．     

Zno纳米晶的室温紫外受激发射特征

ZnO的激子特性对制备氧化锌基的光电子器件至关霞要,因此对ZnO量子点中激子的发光性质及其跃迁过程进行研究显得十分必要.采用溶胶-凝胶法制备了ZnO纳米晶,X射线衍射(XRD)结果表明样品具有六角纤锌矿多晶结构.研究了在不同泵浦功率激发下ZnO纳米晶的紫外发射的时间积分光谱和时间分辨光谱,观察到自南激子发光,激子-激子碰撞和电子-空穴等离子体引起的受激发射,研究了在不同泵浦功率激发下自由激子及激子-激子碰撞随泵浦功率依赖的动力学过程.研究结果对理解激子带边发射有一定帮助,对ZnO材料在短波长半导体光电器件方面有潜在的应用价值.     

高密度激发下CdS单晶的自由激子发光

本文首次在77K温度的电致发光光谱上,观测到了自由激子和自由激子(Ex-Ex)散射的发射带P。根据半经典理论,得到CdS单晶在高激发密度下的激子有效温度高于晶格温度。并且在77K温度下,通过氮分子激光器3371Å谱线的激发,观察到了Ex-Ex散射的P带的受激发射现象。     

高分子中的激子-激子复合过程

高分子的一维特性使电子激发产生显著的自陷(self-trapping)效应，两个单激子(exciton)会复合形成双激子(biexciton)，这是形成双激子的重要通道，其效率高于双光子过程.这种复合过程伴随着晶格畸变，需要了解其演变过程并确定其弛豫时间.本文利用动力学方程研究了激子-激子复合的弛豫过程，确定了它的弛豫时间为160fs，同时还研究了外电场E对复合过程的影响，结果表明，当E大于0.5MV/cm时，两个单激子不能复合成双激子，而是解离成正负双极化子. 关键词：     

有机高分子链内的场致激子解离

基于SSH(Su-Schrieffer-Heeger)模型,采用静态及动力学自洽算法模拟了有机高分子链内激子在光激发及外电场作用下的形成与解离过程。结果表明,受光激发后,有机高分子链内激子的生成与解离密切依赖于施加外电场的时机,当外电场与光激发同时发生时,激子能否生成完全取决于电场强度的大小;而当外电场在光激发后的一段时间(通常为皮秒量级)之后被引入,则在有机高分子链内能够形成稳定的激子,且该激子只有在强外电场(超过1MV/cm)的作用下,才会发生解离,临界场强量级与实验结果相符合。     

链构象对稀溶液中MEH-PPV的光致发光的影响

聚(2-甲氧基-5-(2’-乙基己氧基)-1,4-对苯乙炔)(MEH-PPV)在溶液中的链构象依赖于溶剂的性质,共轭聚合物的发光特性受链构象影响明显。在稀溶液中,不良溶剂含量的增加使MEH-PPV分子链更加紧缩卷曲,单个分子链内更多共轭链段发生聚集,光激发形成的链间激子增加。通过对MEH-PPV稀溶液的光谱分析,发现链间激子的形成过程依赖于激发光的能量(hv)。在激发光能量大于聚合物的最低激发能(E4)的情况下,大部分链内激子通过辐射复合发光,少部分链内激子沿分子链转移到聚集的共轭链段上形成链间激子。在hv＜Ea的情况下,单个分子链内聚集共轭链段吸收光子能量形成链问激子并复合发光。     

Stimulated two-photon emission from excitonic molecules in ZnO

The M-band emission in ZnO at 1.7 K is investigated by tuning the excitation light through the A-B exciton region. Externally stimulated two-photon emission from excitonic molecules is observed when the pump photon energy is resonant with the upper B-polariton. The experiments suggest two excitonic molecule levels separated by 4.6 meV and with a ground state energy E_M = 6.7394 eV.     

How does the substrate affect the Raman and excited state spectra of a carbon nanotube?

We study the optical properties of a single, semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotube (CNT) that is partially suspended across a trench and partially supported by a SiO₂-substrate. By tuning the laser excitation energy across the E ₃₃ excitonic resonance of the suspended CNT segment, the scattering intensities of the principal Raman transitions, the radial breathing mode (RBM), the D mode and the G mode show strong resonance enhancement of up to three orders of magnitude. In the supported part of the CNT, despite a loss of Raman scattering intensity of up to two orders of magnitude, we recover the E ₃₃ excitonic resonance suffering a substrate-induced red shift of 50 meV. The peak intensity ratio between G band and D band is highly sensitive to the presence of the substrate and varies by one order of magnitude, demonstrating the much higher defect density in the supported CNT segments. By comparing the E ₃₃ resonance spectra measured by Raman excitation spectroscopy and photoluminescence (PL) excitation spectroscopy in the suspended CNT segment, we observe that the peak energy in the PL excitation spectrum is red-shifted by 40 meV. This shift is associated with the energy difference between the localized exciton dominating the PL excitation spectrum and the free exciton giving rise to the Raman excitation spectrum. High-resolution Raman spectra reveal substrate-induced symmetry breaking, as evidenced by the appearance of additional peaks in the strongly broadened Raman G band. Laser-induced line shifts of RBM and G band measured on the suspended CNT segment are both linear as a function of the laser excitation power. Stokes/anti-Stokes measurements, however, reveal an increase of the G phonon population while the RBM phonon population is rather independent of the laser excitation power.     

Two-photon excitation of confined biexcitons in CuCl quantum dots

We have studied direct creation processes of confined biexcitons in CuCl quantum dots by polarization-dependent resonant two-photon excitation spectroscopy. The two-photon absorption band for the lowest state of the biexciton (total angular momentum J=0) which appears on the lower energy side of confined exciton band was identified from the analysis of the polarization dependence of the photoluminescence excitation spectrum of the biexciton. Furthermore, the two-photon excitation process for the excited state of the biexciton (J=2) was also found with polarization dependence different from the J=0 biexciton state.     

Phonon-assisted stimulated emission in 2H type PbI2

The stimulated emission in 2H type PbI₂ crystals has been observed under N₂ laser beam excitation at 4.2 K. The analysis of its gain spectrum shows that the emission is induced by the recombination of free exciton assisted by the emission of one longitudinal optical phonon. At a higher level of excitation, the gain spectrum peak shifts to lower energy side. Possible mechanisms of this spectral change are discussed.     

Characterization of host-lattice emission and energy transfer in BaMgAl10O17:Eu

Host-lattice emission, energy transfer and degradation processes are characterized in undoped and Eu-doped BaMgAl₁₀O₁₇. Undoped BaMgAl₁₀O₁₇ exhibits a broad emission centered at 265 nm when excited at wavelengths shorter than 190 nm. This emission is assigned to exciton recombination at Ba-O groups in the cation layer of the lattice. The emission exhibits excellent overlap with the excitation band of Eu²⁺ in this host, providing a means of host-to-activator energy transfer in the doped phosphor. The exciton emission is relatively stable to thermal damage, but undergoes a peak shift and significant decrease in intensity after exposure to VUV radiation. Heating of VUV-damaged materials in air leads to some repair of the spectral properties.

High-excitation photoluminescence studies of CdS1−x Se x quantum dots

Linear absorption and excitation dependent luminescence measurements on CdSSe quantum dots in glass are reported. The new aspects of the spectra are: (i) Stokes shift of linear emission versus absorption and (ii) appearance of new structures in the high energy wing of the luminescence peak under high excitation, which are interpreted as consequences of Coloumb effects, important for dot radii around the exciton Bohr radius.     

Time-resolved photoluminescence on the stimulated emission in polycrystalline ZnO nanoparticles

The detailed room temperature stimulated emission including its optical characteristics from ZnO nanoparticles, which were prepared by a homogenous precipitation method, has been investigated by the time-resolved spectroscopy. The light emission originates from a free exciton recombination at a lower excitation level; the amplified spontaneous emission appears at a moderate excitation level, in which the threshold excitation intensity is 0.65 GW cm⁻². The resonant stimulated emission was observed in ZnO nanoparticles at a higher excitation intensity. Also, the emission lifetime is drastically reduced. Compared to the fluorescence decay curves, the time-resolved spectrum of the stimulated emission suggests the Gaussian-like decay time with only a few of picoseconds. The dynamic processes of lasing behavior and the characteristics of lasing emission in ZnO nanoparticles could provide the information on the crystal quality, the exciton and the lasing action in the particles.     

Antiferromagnetic hall effect nonlinear in the electric current

A new galvanoantiferromagnetic effect is predicted—the Hall effect nonlinear in the electric current, i.e., a potential difference that is transverse to the current and is associated with the antisymmetric contribution to the resistivity tensor, which violates Ohm’s law, for example, of the form Δρij=?Δρji∝LE, where L is the antiferromagnetism vector and E is the electric field. The indicated contribution is characteristic for centrally antisymmetric antiferromagnets and can lead to a Hall field that is quadratic in the current: ΔE ^⊥ ∝ LJ ². Similarly, the effect ΔE ^⊥∝LJ ³ can exist in centrally symmetric antiferromagnets even in a state where the ordinary Hall effect, which is linear in J, is absent (for example, in hematite below the Morin point).
