An improved valence force field model (VFFM) is suggested to calculate the phonon modes in both bulk specimens and quantum dots (QDs) of AlAs taking account of the effect of transverse effective charges (TOs) correctly.The resultant dispersions of AlAs bulk phonons are in accord better with the results carefully fitted to the experimental data by using 11-parameters rigid-ion model, than those got by ordinary VFFM, especially in the region of near Г point. For AlAs QDs, TCs are evaluated bond by bond for each phonon mode of QD and its effect on the change of the force on atoms is taken into account to modify further the phonon spectrum. The frequency spectra and densities ofphonon states of d/fferent irreducible representations calculated by using improved VFFM are compared with the results of ordinary VFFM. The correct evaluation of the TOs is not only important in calculating the phonon spectrum of both bulk and QD specimens accurately, but is also in the further discussion of the electron-phonon (e-ph) interaction, which can be directly related to TCs of ions in QD. 相似文献

We investigate the effects of a thin AlAs layer with different position and thickness on the optical properties of InAs quantum dots (QDs) by using transmission electron microscopy and photoluminescence (PL). The energy level shift of InAs QD samples is observed by introducing the thin AlAs layer without any significant loss of the QD qualities. The emission peak from InAs QDs directly grown on the 4 monolayer (ML) AlAs layer is blueshifted from that of reference sample by 219 meV with a little increase in FWHM from 42–47 meV for ground state. In contrast, InAs QDs grown under the 4 ML AlAs layer have PL peak a little redshifted to lower energy by 17 meV. This result is related to the interdiffusion of Al atom at the InAs QDs caused by the annealing effect during growing of InAs QDs on AlAs layer. 相似文献

Resonant tunneling of electrons through a quantum level in single self-assembled InAs quantum dot (QD) embedded in thin AlAs barriers has been studied. The embedded InAs QDs are sandwiched by 1.7-nm-thick AlAs barriers, and surface InAs QDs, which are deposited on 8.3 nm-thick GaAs cap layer, are used as nano-scale electrodes. Since the surface InAs QD should be vertically aligned with a buried one, a current flowing via the buried QD can be measured with a conductive tip of an atomic force microscope (AFM) brought in contact with the surface QD-electrode. Negative differential resistance attributed to electron resonant tunneling through a quantized energy level in the buried QD is observed in the current–voltage characteristics at room temperature. The effect of Fermi level pinning around nano-scale QD-electrode on resonance voltage and the dependence of resonance voltage on the size of QD-electrodes are investigated, and it has been demonstrated that the distribution of the resonance voltages reflects the size variation of the embedded QDs. 相似文献

We have used cross-sectional scanning-tunneling microscopy (X-STM) to compare the formation of self-assembled InAs quantum dots (QDs) and wetting layers on AlAs (1 0 0) and GaAs (1 0 0) surfaces. On AlAs we find a larger QD density and smaller QD size than for QDs grown on GaAs under the same growth conditions (500 °C substrate temperature and 1.9 ML indium deposition). The QDs grown on GaAs show both a normal and a lateral gradient in the indium distribution whereas the QDs grown on AlAs show only a normal gradient. The wetting layers on GaAs and AlAs do not show significant differences in their composition profiles. We suggest that the segregation of the wetting layer is mainly strain-driven, whereas the formation of the QDs is also determined by growth kinetics. We have determined the indium composition of the QDs by fitting it to the measured outward relaxation and lattice constant profile of the cleaved surface using a three-dimensional finite element calculation based on elasticity theory. 相似文献

In this paper we present an experimental comparative study of InAs/AlAs periodical structures with InAs and AlAs quantum dots (QDs) by means of infrared and Raman spectroscopies. The first observation of optical phonons localized in InAs and AlAs QDs using infrared spectroscopy is demonstrated. Confined optical phonon frequencies of the QDs measured by means of Raman scattering are compared with those deduced from the analysis of infrared spectra performed in the framework of the dielectric function approximation. 相似文献

We examine the temperature-dependent excitonic transition energy shift of strain-free GaAs droplet epitaxy (DE) quantum dots (QDs). Interestingly the statistical investigation of QD optical properties enables us to observe three distinct temperature dispersions for four series of DE QDs. We present comparative analyses of the exciton-phonon coupling mechanisms employing various empirical to multi-oscillator models associated with each QD-specific phonon dispersion spectrum. The systematic investigation of such QD exciton-phonon coupling is crucial for fine control of local defects in engineered quantum dot single-photon sources. 相似文献

We report resonant Raman scattering results of CdTe/ZnTe self-assembled quantum dot (QD) structures. Photoluminescence spectra reveal that the band gap energies of the CdTe QDs decrease with the increase of CdTe thickness from 2.0 to 3.5 monolayers, which indicates that the size of the QDs increases. When the CdTe/ZnTe QD structures are excited by non-resonant excitation, a longitudinal optical (LO) phonon response from the ZnTe barrier material is observed at 206 cm−1. In contrast, when the CdTe/ZnTe QD structures are resonantly excited near the band gap energy of the QDs, additional phonon modes emerge at 167 and 200 cm−1, while the ZnTe LO phonon response completely disappears. The 167 cm−1 mode corresponds to the LO phonon of the CdTe QDs. A spatially resolved Raman scattering from the cleaved edge of the QD sample reveals that the 200 cm−1 mode is strongly localized at the interface between the CdTe QDs and ZnTe cap layer. This phonon mode is attributed to the interface optical (IO) phonon. The analytically calculated value of the IO phonon energy using a dielectric continuum approach, assuming a spherical dot boundary, agrees well with the experimental value. 相似文献

The spectra of Raman scattering by folded acoustic phonons in Si/Ge superlattices with pseudomorphic layers of Ge quantum
dots (QDs) grown by low-temperature (T = 250°C) molecular beam epitaxy are studied. New features of the folded phonon lines related to the resonant enhancement
and unusual intensity ratio of the doublet lines that cannot be explained by the existing theory have been observed. The observed
modes are shown to be related to the vibrations localized to the QDs and induced by the folded phonons of the Si spacer layers.
The calculations performed in the model of a one-dimensional chain of atoms have allowed the nature of the localization of
acoustic phonons attributable to a modification of the phonon spectrum of a thin QD layer to be explained. The observed intensity
ratio of the folded phonon doublet lines is caused by asymmetry of the relief of the QD layers. 相似文献

We have obtained high-density (>1011/cm2) InAs quantum dot (QD) structures by using an Al(Ga)As matrix layer. With increase of the AlAs matrix layer thickness, the density of QDs increases a little and the luminescence intensity emitted from InAs QDs decreases. We have used a thin GaAs insertion layer (IL) for the reason of keeping InAs QDs from an aluminum intermixing towards QDs. As the thickness of GaAs IL increases, the density of QDs decreases slightly due to the reduction of the roughness of an AlAs matrix layer. However, the luminescence intensity increases with increase in the thickness of GaAs IL resulting from the efficient blocking of an aluminum intermixing towards QDs. 相似文献

The interatomic force constants and the phonon dispersion curves of AlP, AlAs, and AlSb are obtained from the electronic theory of solids by using our presented binding force, which includes mainly covalent interactions in the pseudopotential formalism and partially ionic interactions. The potential-parameter, effective ionic charge and ionic fraction of AlP and AlAs are estimated from those of AlSb and other III–V tetrahedrally- bonded compounds in spite of no experimental information on the band- calculation and the neutron scattering data of AlP and AlAs. Numerical data for the crystal energy of AlP and AlAs are in good agreement with the observed data, and the obtained results for the phonon dispersion curves and bulk modulus are useful to study the lattice dynamics and anharmonic properties of these compounds. 相似文献

The polar optical phonon vibrating modes of a quasi-zero-dimensional (Q0D) wurtzite cylindrical quantum dot (QD) are solved exactly based on the dielectric continuum model and Loudon’s uniaxial crystal model. The result shows that there exist four types of polar mixing optical phonon modes in the Q0D wurtzite cylindrical QD systems, which is obviously different from the situation in blende cylindrical QDs. The dispersive equations for the interface-optical-propagating (IO-PR) mixing modes are deduced and discussed. It is found that the dispersive frequency of IO-PR mixing modes in wurtzite QD just take a series of discrete values due to the three-dimensional confined properties. Moreover, once the radius or the height of the QD approach infinity, the dispersive equations of the IO-PR mixing modes in the wurtzite Q0D cylindrical QD can naturally reduce to those of the IO and PR modes in Q2D QWs or Q1D QWWs systems. This has been analyzed reasonably from both physical and mathematical viewpoints. The analytical expressions obtained in the paper are useful for further investigating phonon influence on physical properties of the wurtzite Q0D QD systems. 相似文献

Theoretical calculations of electron–phonon scattering rates in AlGaN/GaN quantum dots (QDs) have been performed by means of effective mass approximation in the frame of finite element method. The influence of a symmetry breaking of the carrier's wave function on the electron dephasing time is investigated for various QDs shapes. In a QD system the electron energy increases when the QD shape changes from a spherical to a non-spherical form. In addition, the influence of the QD shape upon the electronic structure can be modulated by external magnetic fields. We also show that the electron–acoustic phonon scattering rates strongly depend upon both the QD shape and the applied magnetic field. As an additional parameter, the QD shape can be used to modify the electron–acoustic phonon interaction in a wide range. Moreover, the scattering rate of different transitions, such as Δm=0(1), presents distinct magnetic field dependency. 相似文献

We have presented a theoretical calculation of the differential cross section for the electron Raman scattering process associated with the interface optical phonon modes in cylindrical GaAs quantum dots (QDs) with a AlAs matrix. We consider the Fröhlich electron–phonon interaction in the framework of the dielectric continuum approach. The selection rules for the processes are studied. Singularities are found to be sensitively size‐dependent, and, by varying the size of the QDs, it is possible to control the frequency shift in the Raman spectra. A discussion of the phonon behavior for QDs with different size is presented. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

Within the framework of the macroscopic dielectric continuum model, the interface-optical-propagating (IO-PR) mixing phonon modes of a quasi-zero-dimensional (Q0D) wurtzite cylindrical quantum dot (QD) structure are derived and studied. The approximative analytical-phonon-states of IO-PR mixing modes are given. It is found that there are two types of IO-PR mixing phonon modes, i.e. ρ-IO/z-PR mixing modes and the z-IO/ρ-PR mixing modesexisting in Q0D wurtzite QDs. And each IO-PR mixing modes also have symmetrical and antisymmetrical forms. Via a standard procedure of field quantization, the Fröhlich Hamiltonians of electron-(IO-PR) mixing phonons interaction are obtained. And the orthogonal relations of polarization eigenvectors for these IO-PR mixing modes are also deduced. Numerical calculations of dispersive relation and electron-phonon coupling properties on a wurtzite GaN cylindrical QD are carried out. The behaviors that the IO-PR mixing phonon modes in wurtzite QDs reduce to the IO modes and PR modes in wurtzite QW and QWR systems are analyzed deeply from both of the viewpoints of physics and mathematics. The result shows that the present theories of polar mixing phonon modes in wurtzite cylindrical QDs are consistent with the phonon modes theories in wurtzite QWs and QWR systems. The coupling properties of electron-(IO-PR) mixing modes interactions are studied and analyzed in detail. An abnormal increase of electron-phonon coupling strength are observed as the azimuthal quantum numbers and order of phonon modes increase, which is ascribed to the modulation effect of different dielectric functions of wurtzite crystals in radius- and axial-directions. The analytical electron-phonon interaction Hamiltonians obtained here are useful for further investigating phonon influence on optoelectronics properties of wurtzite Q0D QD structures. 相似文献

We present experimental results obtained in two-color pump-probe experiments performed in semiconductor self-assembled quantum dot (QD) layers. The sample reflectivities present several acoustic contributions, among which are strong acoustic phonon wave packets. A comparison between one- and two-color experiments and a fine analysis of the echo shape attest that a high magnitude phonon pulse emerges from each single QD layer. This conclusion is supported by a numerical modeling which perfectly reproduces our experimental signals only if we introduce a strong generation in each QD layer. We explain such a strong emission thanks to an efficient capture of the carriers by the QDs. 相似文献

The phonon dispersion curves for aluminium arsenide and antimonide have been investigated by using a deformation bond approximation
model. The results obtained from this model are compared with the experimental values wherever it is available. Since there
is no complete experimental phonon dispersion curves for AlAs, we could not compare our calculated results, but the results
of AlSb have been compared with the inelastic neutron scattering measurements at 15 K. However, we compare the phonon frequencies
of AlAs and AlSb at critical points of the Brillouin zone obtained by our calculations and Raman spectroscopy measurements.
This model predicts the phonon modes satisfactorily in all the symmetry directions of the Brillouin zone (BZ). The spectrum
has similar features as observed in other III–V compound semiconductors. 相似文献

Glass‐embedded Cd1−xCoxS quantum dots (QDs) with mean radius of R ≈ 1.70 nm were successfully synthesized by a novel protocol on the basis of the melting‐nucleation synthesis route and herein investigated by several experimental techniques. Incorporation of Co2+ ions into the QD lattice was evidenced by X‐ray diffraction and magnetic force microscopy results. Optical absorption features with irregular spacing in the ligand field region confirmed that the majority of the incorporated Co2+ ions are under influence of a low‐symmetry crystal field located near to the Cd1−xCoxS QD surface. Electron paramagnetic resonance data confirmed the presence of Co2+ ions in a highly inhomogeneous crystal field environment identified at the interface between the hosting glass matrix (amorphous) and the crystalline QD. The acoustic‐optical phonon coupling in the Cd1−xCoxS QDs (x ≠ 0.000) was directly observed by Raman measurements, which have shown a high‐frequency shoulder of the longitudinal optical phonon peak. This effect is tuned by the size‐dependent sp‐d exchange interaction due to the magnetic doping, causing variations in the coupling between electrons and longitudinal optical phonon.
