非对称双量子阱中载流子耦合的温度依赖性

非对称双量子阱中载流子动力学过程的温度依赖性研究,对于实现室温下高效的量子阱光电器件有着非常重要的意义。随着温度的升高,量子阱中的载流子被热激发到势垒层中后,部分载流子会被量子阱再俘获,即在不同的量子阱之间发生了载流子的耦合。利用耦合多量子阱载流子动力学模型,模拟了非对称双量子阱中载流子耦合的温度依赖性。研究表明,在不同温度下,各量子阱的光致荧光强度比强烈地依赖于量子阱的激活能差。光致荧光强度比的最大值与激活能差成指数关系,而其所对应的温度与激活能差成线性关系。     

Optical spectroscopy of AlGaInP based wide band gap quantum wells

An optical spectroscopic study of wide band gap AlGaInP based quantum wells is reported. GaInP quantum wells with AIGaInP barriers of two different Al compositions are studied. Type-II behaviour for narrow quantum wells with AlInP barriers is demonstrated. The onset of this behaviour allows limits to be placed on the size of the valence band offset. The first three orders of LO-phonon satellites are observed in quantum well PL spectra and their relative intensities are compared with theoretical predictions.     

Interference of polariton waves in structures with wide GaAs/AlGaAs quantum wells

The optical reflection spectra of semiconductor GaAs/AlGaAs structures with wide quantum wells are studied experimentally. A theoretical analysis of the spectra is performed in terms of the exciton-polariton model in the approximation of quantum confinement of the exciton center of mass with regard to the contributions of both heavy and light excitons to the crystal polarization. The applicability range of the theory of the center-of-mass confinement for GaAs/AlGaAs heterostructures is estimated. It is established that, for quantum wells more than 180 nm wide, the interference effects observed in the reflection spectra of polariton waves are reproduced, to a good accuracy, by theoretical calculations based on the quantum confinement of the exciton center of mass. For quantum-well widths less than 150 nm, the experimental results are described better by the model of quantum confinement of electrons and holes.     

Infrared absorption in SiGe/Si multiple quantum wells

Infrared absorption has been used to investigate the subband structures in SiGe/Si quantum wells. The quantum wells are prepared using RRH/VLP-CVD and consist of 20 periods of and 60 periods of . The good periodical and interface sharpness of the SiGe/Si quantum wells have been shown by Auger Electron Spectroscopy (AES). The absorption peaks due to transitions between the hole subbands and the conduction band have been observed in infrared absorption spectra. The transverse photocurrent spectrum parallel to the growth plane have also shown absorption peaks due to transitions between the heavy and light hole band states and the conduction band states in quantum wells.     

Dimensional effects and magnetic field influence on excitons in coupled quantum dots and coupled quantum wells

Direct and indirect excitons in coupled quantum wells and in coupled quantum dots are studied. We consider excitons with two-dimensional, quasi-two-dimensional and three-dimensional carriers. Problems were investigated for a wide range of characteristic parameters—confining to potential steepness, distances between quantum wells or dots, effective width of wells and magnetic fields. The mutual influence of the controlling parameters of the problem on exciton properties is analyzed. Energy and wave function spectra were calculated and dispersion law and effective masses were obtained.     

Intraband absorption and emission of light in quantum wells and quantum dots

High-resolution spectroscopy in the mid-infrared spectral range is used to study electronic transitions between size-quantization subbands in stepped quantum wells under picosecond interband excitation. The contributions from intersubband and intrasubband absorption of light are separated by using the difference in time profiles of the absorption coefficient for these cases. For stepped quantum wells, spontaneous interband luminescence and superluminescence are studied for different excitation levels. For structures with quantum dots, the intraband absorption spectra for n-and p-type structures and the spectra of photoinduced intraband absorption and emission (for polarized radiation) for undoped structures are studied.     

Temperature properties of exciton luminescence from CdTe quantum wells with different thicknesses in the CdTe/CdMnTe structure

The optical spectra of the CdTe/Cd_0.7Mn_0.3Te structure containing three CdTe quantum wells with nominal thicknesses of 16, 8, and 4 monolayers have been investigated. The temperature dependences of parameters of the exciton luminescence spectra (integrated intensity, full-width at half-maximum, position of the maximum, Stokes shift) for quantum wells with different thicknesses differ substantially. These differences are explained by a strong thickness dependence of the energy of Coulomb coupling in the exciton, the energy of localization of the exciton on bulges of the quantum well, and the degree of penetration of the exciton wave function into the barrier. At high excitation power densities, the emission contours of the quantum wells with thicknesses of 8 and 16 monolayers contain short-wavelength tails that correspond to optical transitions between excited quantum-well levels.     

Properties of Strain Compensated Symmetrical Triangular Quantum Wells Composed of InGaAs/InAs Chirped Superlattice Grown Using Gas Source Molecular Beam Epitaxy

We investigate the properties of symmetrical triangular quantum wells composed of InGaAs/InAs chirped superlattice, which is grown by gas source molecular beam epitaxy via digital alloy method. In the quantum well structure tensile AlInGaAs are used as barriers to partially compensate for the significant compressive strain in the wells, the strain compensation effects are confirmed by x-ray measurement. The photoluminescence spectra of the sample are dominated by the excitonic recombination peak in the whole temperature range. The thermal quenching, peak energy shift and line-width broadening of the PL spectra are analysed in detail, the mechanisms are discussed.     

Exciton luminescence of quasi-two-dimensional solid solutions

Absorption and luminescence of the quantum wells formed by the (Zn-Cd)Se and (Ga-In)As solid solutions are studied in the range of exciton size-quantization ground state. The spectra observed are described by a model assuming the two-dimensional character of fluctuation states in quantum wells and the presence of a percolation threshold within the absorption contour.     

Reflection and absorption of light by a wide quantum well with two closely spaced excitation levels

The spectra of reflection and absorption of monochromatic light by semiconductor quantum wells whose width is comparable to the wavelength of exciting radiation are calculated. The case of resonance with two closely spaced excited levels is considered. These levels can arise as a result of splitting of the electron-hole pair energy due to the magnetopolaron effect when the quantum well is placed in a strong magnetic field directed perpendicular to the plane of the quantum well. It is demonstrated that, in wide quantum wells, unlike in narrow quantum wells, the reflectance and absorptance of light depend on the quantum-well width. The theory is applicable at any reciprocal ratio of the radiative lifetime to the nonradiative lifetime of electronic excitations.     

Temperature tuning of the Bragg resonance of InAsP/InP Bragg-spaced quantum wells grown by MOCVD

In this article, we presented a study of InAs_0.04P_0.96/InP Bragg-spaced quantum wells (BSQWs), which were grown by metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD). The quantum wells were characterized by photoluminescence (PL), double-crystal x-ray diffraction (DC-XRD), and reflection spectra. We found that the BSQWs structure grown at 580 °C appears to be extremely abrupt, uniform, free of misfit dislocations, and of narrow PL line width. From the reflection spectra at different temperatures, we presented a theoretical analysis of the changes in band structure for resonant and near-resonant wells, and proposed a new scheme of using the temperature to tune the Bragg resonance of Bragg spaced quantum wells.
