Ultrafast Dynamics of Photoexcited Charge Carriers in In{sub 0.53}Ga{sub 0.47}As/In{sub 0.52}Al{sub 0.48}As Superlattices under Femtosecond Laser Excitation

Journal Article Ponomarev, D. S., E-mail: ponomarev-dmitr@mail.ru ; Khabibullin, R. A. ; Klochkov, A. N. ; ... - Semiconductors

The results of experimental studies of the time dynamics of photoexcited charge carriers in In{sub 0.53}Ga{sub 0.47}As/In{sub 0.52}Al{sub 0.48}As superlattices grown by molecular-beam epitaxy on a GaAs substrate with a metamorphic buffer are reported. On the basis of the results of the numerical simulation of band diagrams, the optimal thickness of the In{sub 0.52}Al{sub 0.48}As barrier layer (4 nm) is chosen. At this thickness, the electron wave functions in In{sub 0.53}Ga{sub 0.47}As substantially overlap the In{sub 0.52}Al{sub 0.48}As barriers. This makes it possible to attain a short lifetime of photoexcited charge carriers (τ ~ 3.4 ps) at the wavelength λmore »« less

Ultrafast carrier dynamics in polycrystalline bismuth telluride nanofilm

Journal Article Jia, Lin ; Ma, Weigang ; Zhang, Xing - Applied Physics Letters

In this study, the dynamics of energy carriers in polycrystalline bismuth telluride nanofilm are investigated by the ultrafast pump-probe method. The energy relaxation processes are quantitatively analyzed by using the numerical fitting models. The extracted hot carrier relaxation times of photon excitation, thermalization, and diffusion are around sub-picosecond. The initial reflectivity recovery is found to be dominantly determined by the carrier diffusion, electron-phonon coupling, and photo-generated carriers trapping processes. High-frequency and low-frequency oscillations are both observed and attributed to coherent optical phonons and coherent acoustic phonons, respectively.

Anisotropic response of nanosized bismuth films upon femtosecond laser excitation monitored by ultrafast electron diffraction

Journal Article Esmail, Ahmed R ; Elsayed-Ali, Hani E - Applied Physics Letters

The lattice response of 5 nm thick bismuth film to femtosecond laser excitation is probed by ultrafast electron diffraction. The transient decay time after laser excitation is greater for diffraction from (012) lattice planes compared to (110) planes and is reduced for both planes with the increased laser fluence. These results indicate that different energy coupling mechanisms to the lattice occur depending on the crystal direction. The behavior of the diffraction peak width indicates partial disorder of the film upon photoexcitation that increases together with the laser fluence.

Nanoscale Depth-Resolved Coherent Femtosecond Motion in Laser-Excited Bismuth

Journal Article Johnson, S L ; Beaud, P ; Krasniqi, F S ; ... - Physical Review Letters

We employ grazing-incidence femtosecond x-ray diffraction to characterize the coherent, femtosecond laser-induced lattice motion of a bismuth crystal as a function of depth from the surface with a temporal resolution of 193{+-}8 fs. The data show direct consequences on the lattice motion from carrier diffusion and electron-hole interaction, allowing us to estimate an effective diffusion rate of D=2.3{+-}0.3 cm{sup 2}/s for the highly excited carriers and an electron-hole interaction time of 260{+-}20 fs.

Enabling Oxidation Protection and Carrier-Type Switching for Bismuth Telluride Nanoribbons via in Situ Organic Molecule Coating

Journal Article Park, Jun Beom ; Wu, Wei ; Wu, Jason Yingzhi ; ... - Nano Letters

Thermoelectric materials with high electrical conductivity and low thermal conductivity (e.g., Bi₂Te₃) can efficiently convert waste heat into electricity; however, in spite of favorable theoretical predictions, individual Bi₂Te₃ nanostructures tend to perform less efficiently than bulk Bi₂Te₃. We report a greater-than-order-of-magnitude enhancement in the thermoelectric properties of suspended Bi₂Te₃ nanoribbons, coated in situ to form a Bi₂Te₃/F₄-TCNQ core–shell nanoribbon without oxidizing the core–shell interface. The shell serves as an oxidation barrier but also directly functions as a strong electron acceptor and p-type carrier donor, switching the majority carriers from a dominant n-type carrier concentration (~10²¹ cm^–3) to a dominant p-typemore »« less
