1.3微米发光自组织InAs/GaAs量子点的电致发光研究

用优化的MBE参数生长了1.3μm发光的InAs/GaAs量子点材料,并制成发光二极管,对不同温度和有源区长度下样品的电致发光谱进行了细致的研究.观察到两个明显的电致发光峰,分别对应于量子点基态和激发态的辐射复合发光.实验表明,由于能态填充效应的影响,适当增大量子点发光器件有源区长度,更有利于获得基态的光发射.这个结果提供了一种控制和调节InAs/GaAs量子点发光二极管和激光器的工作波长的方法.     

A method to obtain ground state electroluminescence from 1.3μm emitting InAs/GaAs quantum dots grown by molecular beam epitaxy

1.3μm emitting InAs/GaAs quantum dots(QDs) have been grown by molecular beam epitaxy and QD light emitting diodes(LEDs) have been fabricated.In the electroluminescence spectra of QD LEDs,two clear peaks corresponding to the ground state emission and the excited state emission are observed.It was found that the ground state emission could be achieved by increasing the number of QDs contained in the active region because of the state filling effect.This work demonstrates a way to control and tune the emitting wavelength of QD LEDs and lasers.     

Atomic hydrogen induced step bunching and fabrication of quantum wire arrays on GaAs（311） A Substrate by molecular eam epitaxy

Atomic hydrogen assisted molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) is a novel type of epitaxial growth of nanostructures. The GaAs (311)A surface naturally forms one-dimensional step arrays by step bunching along the direction of 〈-233〉 and the space period is around 40nm. The step arrays extend over several μm without displacement. The InGaAs quantum wire arrays are grown on the step arrays as the basis. Our results may prompt further development of more uniform quantum wire and quantum dot arrays.
