δ-掺杂Be受主GaAs/AlAs多量子阱的空穴共振隧穿（英文）

三个具有不同量子阱宽度的GaAs/AlAs多量子阱结构样品通过分子束外延生长设备生长在半绝缘的(100)p-型GaAs衬底上,并且在量子阱层结构的生长过程中,在GaAs阱层中央进行了Be受主的δ-掺杂。基于这3个结构样品,通过光刻技术和半导体加工工艺制备了相应的两端器件。在4～200 K的温度范围内,我们分别测量了器件的电流-电压特征曲线,清楚地观察到了重、轻空穴通过δ-掺杂Be受主GaAs/AlAs多量子阱结构的共振隧穿现象。发现随着GaAs量子阱层宽的逐渐减小,轻空穴的共振隧穿峰向着高电压方向移动,这个结果和通过AlAs/GaAs/AlAs双势垒结构模型计算的结果是一致的。然而,随着测量温度的进一步升高,两个轻空穴共振峰都朝着低电压的方向移动,并且在150 K温度下,其中一个共振遂穿峰表现为一种振动模式。     

基于量子限制的受主带间跃迁太赫兹探测器的制备与测量

使用分子束外延生长设备,在GaAs（100）衬底上生长了量子阱宽度为3 nm的GaAs/AlAs多量子阱样品,并在量子阱层中央进行了Be受主的δ-掺杂。根据量子限制受主从束缚态到非束缚态之间的跃迁,设计并制备了δ-掺杂Be受主GaAs/AlAs多量子阱太赫兹光探测器原型器件。在4.2 K温度下,分别对器件进行了太赫兹光电流谱和暗电流-电压曲线的测量。在6 V直流偏压下,空穴载流子沿量子阱层方向输运。当正入射激光频率为6.8 THz时,器件响应率为2×10^-4 V/W（2 μA/W）。通过器件的暗电流-电压曲线计算了器件全散粒噪声电流,在4.2 K、6 V直流偏压下,全散粒噪声电流为5.03 fA·Hz^-1/2。

δ-掺杂受主的扩散对GaAs/AlAs量子阱子带的影响（英文）

在15 nm GaAs/5 nm AlAs单量子阱的GaAs阱层中间,分别进行不同浓度剂量的铍受主的δ-掺杂。铍受主在量子阱层中的扩散浓度分布,由扩散方程数值解出。高温下扩散在GaAs阱层中的Be受主将发生电离,成为带负电荷的受主离子,同时也向量子阱价带的子带中引入空穴。带负电荷的扩散受主离子和价带子带中的空穴,它们都是带电粒子在GaAs阱层中按库伦定律激发电场。相比较而言,对于无掺杂同结构量子阱,在空穴的薛定谔中增加了一个额外的微扰势,从而使无掺杂的量子阱价带的子带有所改变。在有效质量和包络函数近似下,通过循环迭代方法,数值求解了既满足薛定谔方程又满足泊松方程的空穴波函数,找出了自洽、收敛的空穴子带的能量本征值。计算发现考虑到这种额外微扰势,重空穴基态子带hh的能量有一个电子伏特变化,并且随着掺杂受主剂量的增加,重空穴基态子带hh向着价带顶红移,计算结果与实验测量符合得很好。     

量子限制效应对δ掺杂GaAs/AlAs多量子阱中铍受主态寿命的影响

采用远红外时间分辨光谱,研究了量子限制效应对δ掺杂在GaAs/AlAs多量子阱中铍（Be）受主态寿命的影响.在低温下的远红外吸收谱中,清楚地观察到了三条主要吸收线,它们分别来源于铍受主从基态到它的三个奇宇称激发态的跃迁.实验结果表明：随着量子限制效应的增强,受主激发态寿命而减少,实验测得体材料中Be受主2p激发态的寿命是350 ps,而阱宽10 nm的多量子阱中的寿命是55 ps.量子限制效应对布里渊区折叠声学声子模的影响增强了受主带内空穴与声学声子相互作用,从而加快了受主带内空穴的弛豫过程. 关键词： 量子限制效应 受主态寿命 时间分辨光谱 δ掺杂')" href="#">δ掺杂

Excitonic transitions in Be-doped GaAs/AlAs multiple quantum well

A series of GaAs/AlAs multiple-quantum wells doped with Be is grown by molecular beam epitaxy. The photoluminescence spectra are measured at 4, 20, 40, 80, 120, and 200 K, respectively. The recombination transition emission of heavy-hole and light-hole free excitons is clearly observed and the transition energies are measured with different quantum well widths. In addition, a theoretical model of excitonic states in the quantum wells is used, in which the symmetry of the component of the exciton wave function representing the relative motion is allowed to vary between the two- and threedimensional limits. Then, within the effective mass and envelope function approximation, the recombination transition energies of the heavy- and light-hole excitons in GaAs/AlAs multiple-quantum wells are calculated each as a function of quantum well width by the shooting method and variational principle with two variational parameters. The results show that the excitons are neither 2D nor 3D like, but are in between in character and that the theoretical calculation is in good agreement with the experimental results.     

Intra-acceptor hole relaxation in Be δ-doped GaAs/AlAs multiple quantum wells

This paper studies the dynamics of intra-acceptor hole relaxation in Be δ -doped GaAs/AlAs multiple quantum wells (MQW) with doping at the centre by time-resolved pump-probe spectroscopy using a picosecond free electron laser for infrared experiments. Low temperature far-infrared absorption measurements clearly show three principal absorption lines due to transitions of the Be acceptor from the ground state to the first three odd-parity excited states respectively. The pump-probe experiments are performed at different temperatures and different pump pulse wavelengths. The hole relaxation time from 2p excited state to 1s ground state in MQW is found to be much shorter than that in bulk GaAs, and shown to be independent of temperature but strongly dependent on wavelength. The zone-folded acoustic phonon emission and slower decay of the wavefunctions of impurity states are suggested to account for the reduction of the 2p excited state lifetime in MQW. The wavelength dependence of the 2p lifetime is attributed to the diffusion of the Be atom δ -layer in quantum wells.     

Fine structure splitting and biexciton binding energy in single self-assembled InAs/AlAs quantum dots

We report on photoluminescence investigations of individual InAs quantum dots embedded in an AlAs matrix which emit in the visible region, in contrast to the more traditional InAs/GaAs system. Biexciton binding energies, considerably larger than for InAs/GaAs dots, up to 9 meV are observed. The biexciton binding energy decreases with decreasing dot size, reflecting a possible crossover to an antibinding regime. Exciton and biexciton emission consists of linearly cross polarized doublets due to a large fine structure splitting up to 0.3 meV of the bright exciton state. With increasing exciton transition energy the fine structure splitting decreases down to zero at about 1.63 eV. Differences with InAs/GaAs QDs may be attributed to major dot shape anisotropy and/or larger confinement due to higher AlAs barriers.     

GaAs/AlAs super-flat interfaces in GaAs/AlAs and GaAs/(GaAs) (AlAs) quantum wells grown on (4 1 1)A GaAs substrates by MBE

Effectively atomically flat GaAs/AlAs interfaces over a macroscopic area (“super-flat interfaces”) have been realized in GaAs/AlAs and GaAs/(GaAs) (AlAs) quantum wells (QWs) grown on (4 1 1)A GaAs substrates by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). A single and very sharp photoluminescence (PL) peak was observed at 4.2 K from each GaAs/AlAs or GaAs/(GaAs) (AlAs) QW grown on (4 1 1)A GaAs substrate. The full-width at half-maximum (FWHM) of a PL peak for GaAs/AlAs QW with a well width ( ) of 4.2 nm was 4.7 meV and that for GaAs/(GaAs) (AlAs) QW with a smaller well width of 2.8 nm (3.9 nm) was 7.6 meV (4.6 meV), which are as narrow as that for an individual splitted peak for conventional GaAs/AlAs QWs grown on (1 0 0) GaAs substrates with growth interruption. Furthermore, only one sharp peak was observed for each GaAs/(GaAs) (AlAs) QW on the (4 1 1)A GaAs substrate over the whole area of the wafer (7 7 mm ), in contrast with two- or three-splitted peaks reported for each GaAs/AlAs QW grown on the (1 0 0) GaAs substrate with growth interruption. These results indicate that GaAs/AlAs super-flat interfaces have been realized in GaAs/AlAs and GaAs/(GaAs) (AlAs) QWs grown on the (4 1 1)A GaAs substrates.
