掺铒a-SixC1-x-H薄膜的发光特性

用等离子体增强化学气相沉积（PECVD）的方法，以固定的氢气（H2）流量和不同的硅烷（SiH4）和甲烷（CH4）流量比沉积了一系列的氢化非晶SiC（a-Si，C1-x-H）膜。用这种宽带隙的a-SixC1-x-H材料作为掺铒的基体材料，通过离子注入的方法得到掺铒的a-SixC1-x-H（a-SixC1-x-H：Er）膜。注入以后的样品经过不同温度的退火。用X射线光电子能谱（XPS）、红外吸收光谱（IR）、拉曼散射谱（Raman）等技术研究不同的SiH4／CH4流量比和退火温度对a-SixC1-x-H：Er发光强度的影响。结果表明，高温退火引起了膜中C的分凝，对饵的发光是不利的。通过低温和室温下铒发光强度的比较，表明这种材料具有较弱的温度猝灭效应。     

Optical Properties of Highly Strained GaInAs／GaAs Quantum Wells Grown by Sb Assistance

Optical properties of highly strained GaInAs/GaAs quantum wells (QWs) grown by molecular beam epitaxy with Sb assistance are investigated. The samples grown by Sb incorporation and Sb pre-deposition methods display high room-temperature photoluminescence (PL) intensity at extended 10ng wavelength. This result is explained by the surfactant effects of Sb during the growth of GaInAs/GaAs QW systems. An abnormal Sshaped temperature dependence of the PL peak position is found in the In0.42Ga0.58As/GaAs triple QWs sample grown with Sb pre-deposition. By investigating the transmission electron microscope images and time-resolved PL spectra, it is found that the S-shaped temperature dependence of the PL peak position originates from the exciton 10calization effect brought by the Sb-rich clusters on the QW interface.     

GaAs基GaAsSb/GaInAs双层量子阱的发光

嵌入GaAs中的GaAsSb／GaInAs量子阱因其在1．3～1．5μm光通信波段发光的潜力而受到关注,我们研究了一系列MBE生长的GaAsSb／GaInAs量子阱样品的光致发光,发现所有样品在室温下都出现了一个较强的、波长在1．3μm附近的低能峰和一个较弱的高能峰。变温及变激发功率的荧光谱测量研究发现,高能峰只有在150K以上的测试条件下才能观测到,并且其相对强度随着温度的升高而增加,其调制光谱显示出第一类跃迁的特征。他们建立了理论模型,计算的结果支持将这一发光峰指派为GaInAs层内电子的基态与重空穴激发态间的跃迁,并与实验数据吻合得很好。同时初步讨论了改善1．3μm的低能峰发光的方法。
