ELECTROREFLECTANCE SPECTRA OF GexSi1-x/Si STRAINED LAYER MULTIPLE-QUANTUM WELLS

We have investigated the optical transitions above the fundamental gap of a set of Ge_xSi_1-x/Si strained layer multiple-quantum wells by electroreflectance (ER). The sam-ples were grown by molecular beam espitaxy (MBE). The thickness of the strained layer of Ge_xSi_1-x was 5nm with Ge concentration x in the range from 0.4 to 0.5, and the Si barrier layer greater than 16nm. Considering the energy shift caused by strain and quantum well confinement, we were able to clearly recognize the transitions from different quantum well structures associated with the critical points E₀, E′₀, and E₁. The transitions of the critical points E₀ and E′₀, which are very weak in bulk mateials, are apparently enhanced in the quantum well structures.     

ORDER ALLOY IN GexSi1-x/Si(100) STRAINED-LAYER SUPERLATFICES

The Ge_xSi_1-x/Si(100) strained-layer superlattices have been investigated by means of the transmission electron microscopy of the cross-sectional specimen (XTEM) and the high resolution electron microscopy (HREM), The order alloy with a period of modulation twice as large as the lattice constant along <100> zone axis has been found in the alloy layers of the superlattices with x≈0.4-0.5. This order struc-ture makes the superlattices inhomogeneously strained. The result of the compuler simulation shows that the order alloy exhibits an altemating stack of 2 monolayers of Ge atoms and 2 monolayers of Si atoms along the <100> zone axis. Thc calculated elastic strain energy of the disorder alloy reported in the litera-ture is very close to that of the order alloy along <100> zone axis. Thus, during the MBE growth of the alloy layers, both the disorder and order alloys can be formed along <100> zone axis.     

RAMAN SCATTERING INTENSITIES OF FOLDED LONGITUDINAL ACOUSTIC PHONONS IN GexSi1-x/Si SUPERLATTICES

In terms of photoelastic mechanism we have investigated the Raman scattering intensities of the folded longitudinal acoustic (FLA) phonons in Ge_xSi_1-x/ Si superlattices (SLs), taking into account the differences between the acoustic and photoelastic parameters of the two constituents in the SLs. The relative intensities calculated for the FLA phonons are in excellent agreement with the experimental results at the frequencies up to about 50 cm^-1. The broadening of the linewidth arising from the so called strong acoustic attenuation, which was reported previously located around the frequency 15 cm^-1 in Ge_xSi_1-x/Si SLs(x≈0.5), has not been observed in this work.     

ABNORMAL ENERGY DEPENDENCE OF AXIAL MINIMUM CHANNELING YIELDS IN GexSi1-x/Si(100) STRAINED

An energy dependence of the axial minimum channeling yield in Ge_xSi_1-x/Si(100) Strained-layer superlattice is observed in the energy range of impinging He⁺ ione from 1.2 to 3.0 MeV. For [100] axial channeling, the measurements ere in agreement with what have been known in a single crystal. However, for [110] axial channeling, it is found that the minimum channeling yields increase markedly with the increase of He⁺ ion energy, which is contrary to the general channeling behaviors in a single crystal. A tentative model is suggested to explain this aberrance.

自组织量子点的量子态光学探测(英文)

半导体量子点主要包括在真空中外延生长的自组织量子点和在溶液中采用化学方法合成的胶体量子点,由于量子限制效应所导致的分立能级结构使得它们通常被称为"人工原子"。和自然原子不同,半导体量子点的能级结构强烈依赖于其尺寸和形状,这样就提供了更为灵活的方法来控制固体材料中的光与材料的相互作用。近年来,许多类原子的量子光学现象(包括量子干涉、Rabi振荡和Mollow荧光)都已经在单个的自组织量子点中揭示出来。与此形成对比的是,上述所有的类原子量子光学特性目前还没有在单个的胶体量子点中观察得到。在本文中,我们将侧重于介绍我们科研组以及我们和别的科研组合作对单个自组织量子点的单量子态在光学探测和相干控制方面完成的一系列工作。对单个的胶体量子点,我们认为量子相干特性的测量和控制将在新近合成的非荧光闪烁或荧光闪烁得到抑制的材料体系中得以实现。

Giant magnetocaloric effect in Tb5Ge2-xSi2-xMn2x compounds

The crystal structure,magnetic and magnetocaloric characteristics of the pseduo ternary compounds of Tb5Ge2 xSi2 xMn2x(0 ≤ 2x ≤ 0.1) were investigated by x-ray powder diffraction and magnetization measurements.The x-ray powder diffraction results show that all compounds preserve the monoclinic phase as the majority phase and all the synthesized compounds were observed to be ferromagnetic from magnetization measurements.Magnetic phase transitions were interpreted in terms of Landau theory.Maximum isothermal magnetic entropy change value(20.84 J.kg-1.K-1) was found for Tb5Ge1.95Si1.95Mn0.1 at around 123 K in the magnetic field change of 5 T.

PHOTOLUMINESCENCE STUDY OF GaAs/AlGaAs QUANTUM WELL HETEROSTRUCTURE INTERFACES

Photoluminescence (PL) ia used to study the interface properties of GaAs/AlGaAs quan-tum well (QW) heterostructures prepared by molecular beam epitaxy with growth interrup-tion (GI). The discrete luminescence lines observed for the sample with GI are assigned to the splitting of the heavy-hole exciton associated with heterointerface islands with the lateral size greater than excjton diameter and mean height less than one monolayer, and the spectra have the Gaussian lineshapes. The results strongly support the microroughness model. We also study the temperature dependence of the exciton energies and find that excitons are localized at the interface roughness at low temperature even in the sample with GI, The lateral size of the microroughness of the GI sample is estimated to be less than 5nm from the exciton localization energy.     

The magnetic properties of FexCo1-x and FexTi1-x alloys

High pressures and high magnetic field behaviour give indications on the nature of magnetism encountered in transition metal alloys. We present experiments performed under pressure up to 7 kbar, in fields up to 150 kOe, between 1.4 K and 300 K. The results are used to discuss the occurence of ferromagnetism in Fe_xCo_10xSi and Fe_xCo_1-xTi systems. These systems exhibit two critical concentrations for the onset of ferromagnetism. Their magnetic properties are very sensitive to magnetic fields and high pressures and this allows us to characterize them as weak itinerant ferromagnets. A more localized behaviour is evidenced for the iron rich alloys and the appearance to ferromagnetism is different for cobalt rich side and for iron rich one.     

X-rays investigation of the α→β phase transition in the GexSi1−x solid solutions at high pressure

We have investigated the α → β phase transition in the solid solution Ge_xSi_1?x using a diamond anvil cell and the energy dispersive x-ray diffraction technique. The transition pressure p_T obtained from samples with x=0, 0.345, 0.543, 0.774, 0.897 and 1 shows a clear nonlinear dependence on the Ge concentration x; p_T is always larger than expected on the basis of a linear interpolation between the p_T-values of pure Si and Ge. In addition to that we have obtained the volume of the α-phase (diamond structure) and of the β-phase (white- tin structure) at p_T. The first one is linear in x, whereas the second one exhibits a nonlinear x-dependence. These results are discussed on the basis of recent pseudopotential calculations by Soma et al.

Diamagnetic properties of tetrahedrally coordinated Ge1-xSx and Ge1-xSex amorphous alloys

Measurements of the diamagnetic susceptibility χ at room temperature are reported for Ge_1-xS_x and Ge_1-xSe_x amorphous alloys as a function of composition. The composition dependence of χ is shown to reflect the corresponding changes in the average gap E_g and it is concluded that the dia diamagnetic enhancement observed in tetrahedrally bonded amorphous semiconductors is caused by a decrease in the interband matrix element in the Van-Vleck paramagnetic susceptibility term with bond angle distortion rather than changes in E_g.     

STRUCTURE STUDY OF MODULATION-DOPED Cd1-xMnxTe: In/CdTe STRAINED LAYER MULTIPLE QUANTUM WELLS

The photomodulated reflectivity (PR) spectroscopy of modulation-doped diluted mag-netic semiconductor Cd_1-xMn_xTe: In/CdTe multiple quantum wells has been measured at 20-300K. Several spectral features associated with intersubband transitions have been found. The band structure of Cd_1-xMn_xTe: In/CdTe has been calculated by the Hartree self-consistent method. The results show that the theory is in agreement with experiments. In addition, an abnormal transition intensity ratio of 22H (the second heavy hole subband to the second electroa subband) to 11H (the first heavy hole subband to the first electron subband) caused by electron filled effect has been reported. At low temperature, a feature associated with Fermi level is observed, which has not been reported before.
