Quantum-Size-Induced Electronic Transitions in Quantum Dots: Indirect Band-Gap GaAs

Journal Article Luo, k J.-W. ; Franceschetti, A ; Zunger, A - Physical Review. B, Condensed Matter and Materials Physics

We discuss the physical origin of the previously predicted quantum-size-induced electronic transitions in spherical GaAs quantum dots. By using atomistic pseudopotential calculations for freestanding GaAs dots and for GaAs dots embedded in an AlGaAs matrix, we are able to distinguish two types of direct/indirect transitions: (i) in freestanding GaAs dots, the conduction-band minimum changes from {Lambda}-like to X-like as the radius of the dot is reduced below 1.6 nm, leading to a direct/indirect transition in reciprocal space. (ii) In GaAs dots embedded in AlAs, the conduction-band minimum changes from dot localized to barrier localized as the radius of the dotmore »« less

Optical properties and carrier dynamics of GaAs/GaInAs multiple-quantum-well shell grown on GaAs nanowire by molecular beam epitaxy

Journal Article Park, Kwangwook ; Ravindran, Sooraj ; Ju, Gun Wu ; ... - Current Applied Physics

GaAs/GaInAs multiple-quantum-well (MQW) shells having different GaInAs shell width formed on the surface of self-catalyzed GaAs core nanowires (NWs) are grown on (100) Si substrate using molecular beam epitaxy. The photoluminescence emission from GaAs/GaInAs MQW shells and the carrier lifetime could be varied by changing the width of GaInAs shell. Time-resolved photoluminescence measurements showed that the carrier lifetime had a fast and slow decay owing to the mixing of wurtzite and zinc-blende structures of the NWs. Furthermore, strain relaxation caused the carrier lifetime to decrease beyond a certain thickness of GaInAs quantum well shells.

Direct-Bandgap InAs Quantum-Dots Have Long-Range Electron--Hole Exchange Whereas Indirect Gap Si Dots Have Short-Range Exchange

Journal Article Juo, J W ; Franceschetti, A ; Zunger, A - Nano Letters

Excitons in quantum dots manifest a lower-energy spin-forbidden 'dark' state below a spin-allowed 'bright' state; this splitting originates from electron-hole (e-h) exchange interactions, which are strongly enhanced by quantum confinement. The e-h exchange interaction may have both a short-range and a long-range component. Calculating numerically the e-h exchange energies from atomistic pseudopotential wave functions, we show here that in direct-gap quantum dots (such as InAs) the e-h exchange interaction is dominated by the long-range component, whereas in indirect-gap quantum dots (such as Si) only the short-range component survives. As a result, the exciton dark/bright splitting scales as 1/R{sup 2} inmore »« less

Electron-electron interaction and the universality of critical indices for quantum Hall effect plateau-plateau transitions in n-InGaAs/GaAs nanostructures with double quantum wells

Journal Article Arapov, Yu. G. ; Gudina, S. V., E-mail: svpopova@imp.uran.ru ; Klepikova, A. S. ; ... - Semiconductors

The dependences of the longitudinal and Hall resistances on a magnetic field in the integer quantum Hall effect regime in n-InGaAs/GaAs heterostructures with a double quantum well are measured in the range of magnetic fields B = 0–16 T and temperatures T = 0.05–4.2 K, before and after infrared illumination. Analysis of the temperature dependence of the width of transitions between plateaus of the quantum Hall effect is performed in the scope of the scaling hypothesis allowing for electron-electron interaction effects.
