InGaAsSb/AlGaAsSb长波长多量子阱激光器有源区的优化设计

系统地研究了波长为2.7μm的InGaAsSb/AlGaAsSb多量子阱激光器中有源区的优化设计.分别用含应变势的6带KP模型和抛物带模型计算价带和导带的能带结构，并得到薛定谔方程和泊松方程的自洽解，由此计算量子阱在载流子注入时的增益谱.研究表明制约量子阱增益的主要因素不是跃迁矩阵元，而是粒子数反转程度，尤其是空穴填充HH1子带的概率.增加压应变或减小阱宽都会提高量子阱增益.前者降低了价带HH1子带空穴的平面内有效质量；后者拉大了价带子带间距，尽管它同时略微增加了空穴有效质量.这两种因素都导致价带顶空穴态

外场下压力及屏蔽对无限深量子阱中施主结合能的影响

考虑外加磁场、压力及屏蔽效应,利用变分方法数值计算GaN/AlxGa1-xN无限深量子阱系统中的杂质态结合能。给出结合能随磁场和阱宽的变化关系,同时讨论了有无屏蔽时的区别。结果表明:在磁场和压力作用下,结合能随阱宽的增大而减小;阱宽和压力一定时,结合能随磁场的增大而增大。屏蔽效应使得有效库仑吸引作用减弱而导致杂质态结合能显著下降。屏蔽效应对结合能的影响随压力增大而增强,随磁场强度增大而减弱。

Angular and temperature‐related specific features of averaging of hole effective masses in p‐Ge at low temperatures

Microwave magnetoresistance of lightly doped (nondegenerate) p‐Ge has been studied by the electron spin resonance method, which can record the derivative of the microwave absorption with respect to the magnetic field. The change in the absorption is proportional to that in the conductivity of the semiconductor in the magnetic field (magnetoresistance). It was found that the averaging time of the light and heavy holes effective masses depends on temperature and on the magnetic field direction in a sample. An analysis of the derivative made it possible to determine regions of the fastest effective mass averaging.     

Study of scattering mechanisms in p-Ge with magneto-microwave Kerr effect measurements at 24GHz

Temperature variation of the magneto-microwave Kerr effect, in the range 130–430 K, has been studied in two high conductivity samples of p-Ge at a magnetic field of 0.3 Wb m^?2 using a K-band double microwave bridge. The experimental results have been analysed by considering the impurity, acoustic phonon and non-polar optical phonon scatterings. It is found that all the three scatterings play an important role in the present range of temperature. In this temperature range the effective masses of the light and heavy holes are found to be independent of temperature.     

Generation of terahertz radiation in high-quality diamond samples

A method is proposed for generating terahertz radiation by producing a spectrally limited population inversion between light- and heavy-hole subbands in the valence band of semiconductors. This inversion is achieved by placing a sample in a static magnetic field and pumping it with an alternating electric field resonant with a cyclotron frequency of heavy holes. At a sufficiently low concentration of holes when the energy exchange between them is less effective than the exchange with the lattice, a considerable heating of heavy holes occurs with a nearly constant distribution function of light holes. However, the low hole concentration leads to a small terahertz field gain that can exceed the field loss only in high-quality diamond samples that are almost transparent in the terahertz range. An important advantage of this method for generating terahertz radiation over the previously proposed techniques is the possibility of implementing it at room temperature, which substantially increases its attractiveness, especially for use in biology and medicine.     

Scattering mechanisms of heavy and light holes in p-type gallium antimonide

It is not known if the scattering probabilities of two kinds of holes in p-type gallium antimonide are the same. In the present paper we found by mobility measurements in the temperature range 77–300 K that the scattering probabilities of heavy and light holes are not the same and they depend not only on the number of the final allowed states in the band of the the heavy holes into which are scattered, but also on a reduced effective mass.     

Conductivity of 2D multi-component electron gas partially-quantized by magnetic field

The 2D semimetal consisting of heavy holes and light electrons is studied. The consideration is based on the assumption that electrons are quantized by magnetic field while holes remain classical. We assume also that the interaction between components is weak and the conversion between components is absent. The kinetic equation for holes colliding with quantized electrons is utilized. It has been stated that the inter-component friction and corresponding correction to the dissipative conductivity σ _xx do not vanish at zero temperature due to degeneracy of the Landau levels. This correction arises when the Fermi level crosses the Landau level. The statement will keep in force until the degeneracy remains. The limits of kinetic equation applicability were found. We also study the situation of kinetic memory when particles repeatedly return to their meeting points.     

Distribution function,population inversion and FIR gain of hot holes in germanium in crossed electric and magnetic fields

The energy distribution function of hot heavy and light holes, the degree of population inversion and of the accumulation of light holes are determined from an investigation of near infrared light absorption in crossed magnetic and electric fields. Analysis of the data shows that inversion of the population is caused not only by accumulation of light holes, but also by weaker heating of light holes compared with heavy holes and drift in momentum space. The numeral value and spectral dependence of the FIR gain, are determined. The distribution function and optical gain are in good qualitative and quantitative agreement with the values calculated by the Monte Carlo method. The power of the far-infrared laser is estimated.     

Optical transitions of holes in uniaxially compressed germanium

Spontaneous emission and photoconductivity of germanium with gallium impurity are studied for determining the energy spectrum of hole states in this material in which radiation can be induced as a result of transitions of holes between these states. Holes were excited by electric field pulses with a strength up to 12 kV/cm at T = 4.2 K under uniaxial compression of samples up to 12 kbar. It has been found that hole emission spectra for transitions between resonant and local states of the impurity have a structure identical to the photoconductivity and absorption spectra. Transitions from resonance states, which are associated with the heavy hole subband, have not been detected. It has been found that in an electric field lower than 100 V/cm, a compressed crystal emits as a result of transitions of heavy holes. In a strong electric field (1–3 kV/cm), emission is observed in the energy range up to 140 meV, and transitions with emission of TA and LO phonons appear in such a field. The emission spectra under pressures of 0 and 12 kbar differ insignificantly. Hence, it follows that the contributions from heavy and light holes in a strong electric field are indistinguishable.     

Type of the second hole subband on the Si(110) surface: Spin splitting anisotropy

Magnetoresistance measurements have been performed for the cases of one and two occupied size-quantization hole subbands in silicon field-effect transistors prepared on the Si (110) surface. In both cases, Shubnikov-de Haas oscillations exhibit very weak sensitivity to the in-plane component of the magnetic field. This indicates that both lowest subbands are formed by heavy holes. This conclusion disagrees with the wide-spread opinion that the second subband is the ground subband of light holes in the system under consideration.     

Josephson current through a ferromagnetic semiconductor/semiconductor/ferromagnetic semiconductor structure

We theoretically calculate the Josephson current for two superconductor/ferromagnetic semiconductor (SC/FS) bilayers separated by a semiconductor (SM) layer. It is found that the critical Josephson current I_C in the junction is strongly determined by not only the relative orientations of the effective exchange field of the two bilayers and scattering potential strengths at the interfaces but also the kinds of holes (the heavy or light) in the two FS layers. Furthermore, a robust approach to measuring the spin polarization P for the heavy and light holes is presented.
