Metamorphic InAs(Sb)/InGaAs/InAlAs nanoheterostructures grown on GaAs for efficient mid-IR emitters

High-efficiency semiconductor lasers and light-emitting diodes operating in the 3–5?μm mid-infrared (mid-IR) spectral range are currently of great demand for a wide variety of applications, in particular, gas sensing, noninvasive medical tests, IR spectroscopy etc. III-V compounds with a lattice constant of about 6.1?Å are traditionally used for this spectral range. The attractive idea to fabricate such emitters on GaAs substrates by using In(Ga,Al)As compounds is restricted by either the minimum operating wavelength of ～8?μm in case of pseudomorphic AlGaAs-based quantum cascade lasers or requires utilization of thick metamorphic In_xAl_1-xAs buffer layers (MBLs) playing a key role in reducing the density of threading dislocations (TDs) in an active region, which otherwise result in a strong decay of the quantum efficiency of such mid-IR emitters. In this review we present the results of careful investigations of employing the convex-graded In_xAl_1-xAs MBLs for fabrication by molecular beam epitaxy on GaAs (001) substrates of In(Ga,Al)As heterostructures with a combined type-II/type-I InSb/InAs/InGaAs quantum well (QW) for efficient mid-IR emitters (3–3.6?μm). The issues of strain relaxation, elastic stress balance, efficiency of radiative and non-radiative recombination at T?=?10–300?K are discussed in relation to molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) growth conditions and designs of the structures. A wide complex of techniques including in-situ reflection high-energy electron diffraction, atomic force microscopy (AFM), scanning and transmission electron microscopies, X-ray diffractometry, reciprocal space mapping, selective area electron diffraction, as well as photoluminescence (PL) and Fourier-transformed infrared spectroscopy was used to study in detail structural and optical properties of the metamorphic QW structures. Optimization of the growth conditions (the substrate temperature, the As₄/III ratio) and elastic strain profiles governed by variation of an inverse step in the In content profile between the MBL and the InAlAs virtual substrate results in decrease in the TD density (down to 3?×?10⁷ cm^?2), increase of the thickness of the low-TD-density near-surface MBL region to 250–300?nm, the extremely low surface roughness with the RMS value of 1.6–2.4?nm, measured by AFM, as well as rather high 3.5?μm-PL intensity at temperatures up to 300?K in such structures. The obtained results indicate that the metamorphic InSb/In(Ga,Al)As QW heterostructures of proper design, grown under the optimum MBE conditions, are very promising for fabricating the efficient mid-IR emitters on a GaAs platform.

燃煤烟气中As、Se、Pb的形态分布及S、Cl元素对其形态分布的影响

基于化学热力学平衡分析方法，计算分析了燃煤烟气中重金属As、Se、Pb的形态分布规律，研究了S、Cl等元素对As、Se、Pb的形态分布规律的影响。结果表明，氧化性气氛下，As以As₂O₅、As₄O₆、AsO等氧化物的形式存在；Se主要以SeO₂形式存在；Pb在1000 K以下主要是固态PbSO₄，1200 K以上为气态PbO。还原性气氛下，As在较低温度时为固态As₂S₂，900-1400 K以As₂、AsS、AsN气体共存，2000 K以上全部转化为气态AsO。Se在1100 K以下主要以气态H₂Se存在，1100 K开始生成SeS和Se₂气体，1800 K时主要是气态Se和少量气态SeO；Pb在中低温时主要是PbS，1800 K以上气态Pb为主要存在形态。S在还原性气氛下增大了AsS（g）、PbS（g）、SeS（g）的比例，氧化性气氛下对As、Se、Pb形态分布基本无影响；Cl无论在氧化还是还原气氛下对As、Se影响均较小，但对Pb的形态分布影响较大。     

The Investigation of Bulk and Surface Polariton Modes in Ga1?xNxAs by Using Infrared Magneto Spectroscopy

We present and discuss infrared magnetoplasma reflectivity and surface polariton modes in Ga_1–xN_xAs. It assumed that the sample is characterized by a magnetoplasma dielectric tensor. Surface polariton dispersion for two component magnetoplasma was calculated from reflectivity spectra data. We detect transverse optic phonon of GaN sublattice in 470 cm^-1. The origin of sharp feature in p-polarization reflectivity about 300 cm^–1 as well as LO phonon frequency of GaAs sublattice is due to Brewster mode. An interesting feature of surface modes in Voigt geometry is nonreciprocalicity, which means that the frequency changes when the direction of propagation is reversed. Also, the infrared magnetoplasma reflectivity of GaNAs should be providing determination of the electrons and heavy holes effective mass and carrier's concentration.

A Highly Sensitive Spectrophotometric Assay of Bleomycins Based on the Fading Reaction of Some Halofluorescein Dyes

In weak acidic medium, anticancer antibiotics bleomycin A5 （BLMA5） and bleomycin A2 （BLMA2） can react with halofluorescein dyes such as erythrosin （Ery）, eosin Y （EY）, eosin B （EB） and rose bengal （RB） by virtue of electrostatic attraction and hydrophobic force to form the ion-association complexes, which can result in the fading reactions of four halofluorescein dyes. The maximum fading wavelengths of these four dyes were located at 527 nm for Ery, 515 nm for EY, 517 nm for EB and 546 nm for RB, respectively. The decrements of absorbance （AA） were directly proportional to the concentrations of bleomycin in a certain range. A new method for the determination of bleomycins anticancer drugs based on fading reactions of halofluorescein dyes has been developed. The method was not only highly sensitive but also simple and rapid. The molar absorptivities （ε） ranged from 1.5 × 10^5 to 7.5 × 10^5 L·mol^-1·cm^-1. It was applied to determination of the bleomycins in human serum, urine and rabbit serum samples. In this work, the spectral properties and the optimum reaction conditions were investigated. The structure of ion-association complexes and the reaction mechanism were discussed.

Recoil spectrometry: Ion accelerator based elemental characterisation of surface layers

Recoil Spectrometry covers a group of techniques that are very similar to the well known Rutherford backscattering Spectrometry technique, but with the important difference that one measures the recoiling target atom rather than the projectile ion. This makes it possible to determine both the identity of the recoil and its depth of origin from its energy and velocity, using a suitable detector system. The incident ion is typically high-energy (30–100MeV)³⁵C1,⁸¹Br or¹²⁷I. Low concentrations of light elements such as C, O and N can be profiled in a heavy matrix such as Fe or GaAs. Here we present an overview of mass and energy dispersive recoil Spectrometry and illustrate its successful use in some typical applications.     

Millimeter and submillimeter detection using Ga1?xAlxAs/GaAs heterostructures

We have shown that a Ga_1–xAl_xAs/GaAs heterostructure can be used as a sensitive tunable detector of mm-wave/sub-mm-wave radiation. The mechanism for detection requires the application of a magnetic field varying from approximately 0.2T at 94GHz (3.2mm wavelength) to 6.2T at 2500GHz (119m wavelength). The responsivity and N.E.P. at 3.2mm have been roughly estimated at 200V/W and 5×10^–11W/Hz respectively. The speed of such a detector could be several orders of magnitude greater than comparable InSb detectors.
