Simulation of Photocurrents of Terahertz Quantum-Well Photodetectors

We theoretically simulate the influence of the scattering processes of the electrons in the continuum states on the shapes of the photoeurrent spectra of THz quantum well photodetectors. The width of the photocurrent peak should be wider according to the uncertainty relation when these scattering processes lead to shorter relaxation time. We take a simple approximation model to include this influence and calculate the photocurrent spectra, which axe in agreement with experimental results qualitatively.

Preparation and characterization of room-temperature ferromagnetism GaMnN based on ion implantation

This paper reports the fabrication of GaMnN ferromagnetic semiconductor on GaN substrate by high-dose Mn ion implantation. Both the structural and optical properties for Mn+-implanted GaN material were studied by X-ray diffraction, Raman scattering and photolumi-nescence. The results reveal that the implanted manganese incorporates on Ga site and GaMnN ternary phase is formed in the substrate. The magnetic behavior has been characterized by superconducting quantum interference device. The material shows room-temperature ferromagnet-ism. The temperature-dependent magnetization indicates different mechanism for ferromagnetism in Mn+-implanted GaN.

4.3 THz quantum-well photodetectors with high detection sensitivity

We demonstrate a high performance GaAs/AlGaAs-based quantum-well photodetector(QWP) device with a peak response frequency of 4.3 THz. The negative differential resistance(NDR) phenomenon is found in the dark current–voltage(I–V) curve in the current sweeping measurement mode, from which the breakdown voltage is determined. The photocurrent spectra and blackbody current responsivities at different voltages are measured. Based on the experimental data, the peak responsivity of 0.3 A/W(at 0.15 V, 8 K) is derived, and the detection sensitivity is higher than 10~(11) Jones,which is in the similar level as that of the commercialized liquid-helium-cooled silicon bolometers. We attribute the high detection performance of the device to the small ohmic contact resistance of ～ 2 ? and the big breakdown bias.     

(Ga,Mn)As 体系中Mn自补偿效应的第一性原理研究

基于密度泛函理论的赝势平面波方法计算了处于填隙位置磁性原子(MnI)对(Ga,Mn) As体系电子结构和磁性的影响. 计算结果表明MnI在GaAs中是施主；代替Ga位的MnGa 与MnI的自旋按反铁磁序排列；静电相互作用使MnGa，MnI倾向于形成MnGa_MnI对. MnI的存在一方面补偿了(Ga,Mn)As中的空穴，降低了空穴浓度；同时还使邻近的MnG a失活. MnI的存在对获得高居里温度的(Ga,Mn)As是极为不利的. 关键词： (Ga Mn)As 稀磁半导体 密度泛函理论
