GaNAs/GaAs量子阱的激子局域化以及退局域化

我们利用光荧光(PL)以及时间分辨光谱(TRPL)研究了用MBE生长在GaAs衬底上的GaNAs/GaAs量子阱的激子局域化以及退局域化.研究发现,在低温下用连续光(Cw)激发,由于GaNAs中势振荡所产生的局域激子发光是所测量到光谱的主要发光来源.然而在脉冲激发下,情况完全不同.在高载流子密度激发或者高温下GaNAs/GaAs量子阱中例外,一个高能端的PL峰成为了主要的发光来源.通过研究,我们将这个新的发光峰指认为量子阱中非局域激子复合的PL峰.这个发光峰在温度和激发强度的变化过程中与局域激子相互竞争.我们相信这一过程也是许多文献所报道的在InGaN和AlGaN等氮化物中经常观测到的发光峰位随温度"S"形变化的主要根源.

利用MOCVD技术在GaAs衬底上外延生长了非对称量子阱结构CdSe/ZnSe材料,通过对其稳态变温光谱及变激发功率光谱,研究了其发光特性。稳态光谱表明:在82～141K时,观测到的两个发光峰来源于不同阱层厚度的量子阱激子发光,用对比实验验证了高能侧发光的来源。宽阱发光强度先增加后减小,将其归结为激子隧穿与激子热离化相互竞争的结果。通过Arrhenius拟合,对宽阱激子热激活能进行了计算。82K时变激发功率PL光谱表明:由于激子隧穿的存在,使得窄阱发光峰位不随激发功率变化而变化,宽阱发光峰位随激发功率增加发生了蓝移,并对激子隧穿进行了实验验证。

InGaAs/GaAs应变量子阱的光谱研究

分别用光致发光谱（PL），光伏谱（PV）及时间分辨谱（TRPL）的方法，测量了应变InGaAs/GaAs单量子阱和多量子阱在不同温度下的光谱，发现单量子阱与多量子阱有不同的光学4性质。多量子阱PL谱发光峰和PV谱激子峰的强度与半高宽都比单量子阱的大，但单量子阱的半高宽随着温度的升高增大很快，这是由激子－声子耦合引起的，通过时间分辨谱研究发现了量子阱子能级之间的跃迁，多量子阱的发光寿命明显比单量子阱的长，我们利用形变势模型对量子阱的能带进行了计算，很好地解释了实验结果。     

InGaAsN量子阱的光致发光谱研究(英文)

我们测量了低N组分的InGaAsN/InGaAs/GaAs量子阱材料的光致发光(PL)谱,测量温度范围从13K到300K。实验结果显示,InGaAsN的PL谱的主峰值的能量位置随温度的变化呈现出反常的S型温度依赖关系。用Varshni经验公式对实验数据进行拟合之后,发现在低温下InGaAsN量子阱中的载流子是处于局域态的。此外,我们还测量了样品在不同的温度、不同的能量位置的瞬态谱,结果进一步证实了:在低温下,InGaAsN的PL谱谱峰主要是局域态激子的复合发光占据主导地位,而且InGaAsN中的载流子局域态主要是由N等电子缺陷造成的涨落势引起的。

MOCVD生长的InGaN合金的发光特性

研究了用金属有机化学气相沉积(MOCVD)法在蓝宝石基底上生长的InGaN样品的发光特性。样品XRD谱中存在InGaN、In、InN相,表明样品中存在相分离;透射谱能看到由于F-P腔调制引起的震荡;相对氙灯激发发光谱,激光激发的发光谱其发光峰位置发生蓝移。由于样品上下表面形成F-P腔,对发光谱产生强烈的调制,在较高强度激发下,在室温下带边峰分成三个峰,其中波长较短的两个发光峰表现出相同的特征,其发光机制可能为以In量子点为局域中心的局域化激子复合发光,而波长较长的发光峰,是一个超线性受激发光峰,其发光机制可能是电子-空穴等离子的散射。不同温度的PL谱表明两个主要的发光峰表现出不同的温度特征,利用F-P干涉理论分析可知,当温度高于120K后样品折射率随着温度的升高而增大。

Influence of the quantum-confined Stark effect on the temperature-induced photoluminescence blueshift of In GaN/GaN quantum wells in laser diode structures

Measurements of the excitation power-dependence and temperature-dependence photoluminescence(PL) are performed to investigate the emission mechanisms of In Ga N/Ga N quantum wells(QWs) in laser diode structures. The PL spectral peak is blueshifted with increasing temperature over a certain temperature range. It is found that the blueshift range was larger when the PL excitation power is smaller. This particular behavior indicates that carriers are thermally activated from localized states and partially screen the piezoelectric field present in the QWs. The small blueshift range corresponds to a weak quantum-confined Stark effect(QCSE) and a relatively high internal quantum efficiency(IQE) of the QWs.

Novel excitonic transitions in n-type GaAs/AlGaAs quantum wells

We report on a novel peak, the F-line, observed in photoluminescence spectra of GaAs/AlGaAs quantum wells (QWs) with various donor layer positions and concentrations. The F-line is well-defined and red shifted by approximately 1.3 meV (dependent on the experimental conditions) relatively the free exciton (FE) in a 200 Å wide QW. The F-line exhibits a strong magnetic field dependence. The enhanced intensity with increasing field is due to an increasing wave function overlap caused by the enhanced localization of the involved charge carriers. In accordance, the derived thermal activation energy for the F-line is magnetic field dependent. The F-line exhibits a diamagnetic shift as expected for an excitonic transition and splits into four components with increasing magnetic field. Another associated higher energy peak, the E-line, is observed preferably in the presence of a magnetic field, between the heavy hole- and light hole-FE in PL excitation spectra. The E-line also exhibits a striking magnetic field and temperature dependence. The observed properties of the F-line with a striking dependence on the excitation intensity, magnetic field and temperature are consistent with the observation of an exciton bound at the negatively charged D^- donor state or a negatively charged X^- exciton.     

Effect of thermal annealing on r.f. sputtering-deposited nanocrystalline GaN<Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">x</Emphasis></Subscript>As<Subscript>1−<Emphasis Type="Italic">x</Emphasis></Subscript> thin films

GaNAs thin films were deposited on Corning glass substrates by radio frequency (r.f.) sputtering in molecular nitrogen ambient. The stoichiometry in the GaNAs alloy was controlled by changing the nitrogen incorporation in the film during the growth process, through the variation of the r.f. power in the range 30–80 watts which produced films with N concentrations in the range: x = 0.85–0.90. The structural and optical properties of the GaNAs thin films were studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD), photoacoustic (PA) and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopies. XRD measurements show a broad diffraction band with a peak close to the (002) diffraction line of the GaN hexagonal phase, and a slight shoulder at the position corresponding to the (111) GaAs cubic phase. The PA absorption spectra showed a remarkable shift to higher energies of the absorption edge as the r.f. power decreases corresponding to the films with higher N concentrations. Thermal annealing of the GaNAs films at temperatures of 450 °C produced a GaAs nanocrystalline phase with grain sizes in the range 10–13 nm, as confirmed by the XRD measurements that showed a well-defined peak in the (111) GaAs direction, and also by the PA spectra which showed an absorption band at energies around 1.45 eV due to the quantum confinement effects. PL spectra of thermal-annealed GaNAs films showed a very intense emission at 1.5 eV which we have associated to transitions between the first electron excited level and acceptor states in the GaAs nanocrystallites.

Thermal activation and thermal transfer of localized excitons in InAs self-organized quantum dots

We have investigated the temperature dependence of photoluminescence (PL) properties of a number of InAs/GaAs heterostructures with InAs layer thickness ranging from 0.5 monolayer (ML) to 3 ML. The temperature dependence of the InAs exciton energy and linewidth was found to display a significant difference when the InAs layer thickness is smaller or larger than the critical thickness around 1.7 ML, indicating spontaneous formation of quantum dots (QDs). A model, involving exciton recombination and thermal activation and transfer, is proposed to explain the experimental data. In the PL thermal quenching study, the measured thermal activation energies of different samples demonstrate that the InAs wetting layer may act as a barrier for thermionic emission of carriers in high quality InAs multilayers, while in InAs monolayers and submonolayers the carriers are required to overcome the GaAs barrier to thermally escape from the localized states.     

Exciton luminescence and many-body effect of monolayer WS2 at room temperature

Monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides favor the formation of a variety of excitonic quasiparticles, and can serve as an ideal material for exploring room-temperature many-body effects in two-dimensional systems. Here, using mechanically exfoliated monolayer WS₂ and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy, exciton emission peaks are confirmed through temperature-dependent and electric-field-tuned PL spectroscopy. The dependence of exciton concentration on the excitation power density at room temperature is quantitatively analyzed. Exciton concentrations covering four orders of magnitude are divided into three stages. Within the low carrier concentration stage, the system is dominated by excitons, with a small fraction of trions and localized excitons. At the high carrier concentration stage, the localized exciton emission from defects coincides with the emission peak position of trions, resulting in broad spectral characteristics at room temperature.
