Abstract

Room temperature optical absorption process is observed in ultrathin quantum wells (QWs) and quantum dots (QDs) of InP/GaAs type-II band alignment system using surface photovoltage spectroscopy technique, where no measurable photoluminescence signal is available. Clear signature of absorption edge in the sub band gap region of GaAs barrier layer is observed for the ultrathin QWs and QDs, which red shifts with the amount of deposited InP material. Movement of photogenerated holes towards the sample surface is proposed to be the main mechanism for the generation of surface photovoltage in type-II ultrathin QWs and QDs. QDs of smaller size are found to be free from the dislocations as confirmed by the high resolution transmission electron microscopy images.

Effect of band alignment on photoluminescence and carrier escape from InP surface quantum dots grown by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition on Si

Journal Article Halder, Nripendra; Biswas, Pranab; Dhabal Das, Tushar; ... - Journal of Applied Physics

A detailed analysis of photoluminescence (PL) from InP quantum dots (QDs) grown on Si has been carried out to understand the effect of substrate/host material in the luminescence and carrier escape process from the surface quantum dots. Such studies are required for the development of monolithically integrated next generation III-V QD based optoelectronics with fully developed Si microelectronics. The samples were grown by atmospheric pressure metalorganic chemical vapor deposition technique, and the PL measurements were made in the temperature range 10–80 K. The distribution of the dot diameter as well as the dot height has been investigated from atomic force microscopy.more »« less

Quantum States Probed By Temperature Dependence Capacitance-Voltage Measurements For InP/GaAs Type-II Ultrathin Quantum Well

Journal Article Singh, S; Dixit, V; Khamari, Shailesh; ... - AIP Conference Proceedings

We report on the temperature dependent capacitance-voltage measurements on InP/GaAs ultrathin quantum well (QW). We observe a peak in apparent carrier distribution (ACD) profile at around the geometrical position of the QW. Peak value of the ACD profile increases, while it's width decreases with reducing temperature indicating that the peak in ACD is due to the accumulation of two dimensional electrons occupying the quantum states in ultrathin QW.

InP quantum dots: Electronic structure, surface effects, and the redshifted emission

Journal Article Fu, H; Zunger, A - Physical Review, B: Condensed Matter

We present pseudopotential plane-wave electronic-structure calculations on InP quantum dots in an effort to understand quantum confinement and surface effects and to identify the origin of the long-lived and redshifted luminescence. We find that (i) unlike the case in small GaAs dots, the lowest unoccupied state of InP dots is the {Gamma}{sub 1c}-derived direct state rather than the X{sub 1c}-derived indirect state and (ii) unlike the prediction of {bold k}{center_dot}{bold p} models, the highest occupied state in InP dots has a 1sd-type envelope function rather than a (dipole-forbidden) 1pf envelope function. Thus explanations (i) and (ii) to the long-lived redshiftedmore »« less

Role of Atomic Structure on Exciton Dynamics and Photoluminescence in NIR Emissive InAs/InP/ZnSe Quantum Dots

Journal Article Enright, Michael; Jasrasaria, Dipti; Hanchard, Mathilde; ... - Journal of Physical Chemistry. C

The development of bright, near-infrared-emissive quantum dots (QDs) is a necessary requirement for the realization of important new classes of technology. Specifically, there exist significant needs for brighter, heavy metal-free, near-infrared (NIR) QDs for applications with high radiative efficiency that span diverse applications, including down-conversion emitters for high-performance luminescent solar concentrators. In this work, we use a combination of theoretical and experimental approaches to synthesize bright, NIR luminescent InAs/InP/ZnSe QDs and elucidate fundamental material attributes that remain obstacles for development of near-unity NIR QD luminophores. First, using Monte Carlo ray tracing, we identify the atomic and electronic structural attributes ofmore »« less

Role of Interface Chemistry in Opening New Radiative Pathways in InP/CdSe Giant Quantum Dots with Blinking-Suppressed Two-Color Emission

Journal Article Dennis, Allison; Buck, Matthew; Wang, Feng; ... - Advanced Functional Materials

Abstract InP/CdSe core/thick‐shell “giant” quantum dots (gQDs) that exhibit blinking‐suppressed two‐color excitonic emission have been synthesized and optically characterized. These type II heterostructures exhibit photoluminescence from both a charge‐separated, near‐infrared type II excitonic state, and a shell‐localized visible‐color excitonic state. Infrared emission is intrinsic to the type II QD, while visible emission can either be eliminated or enhanced through chemical modification of the InP surface prior to CdSe shell growth. Single‐QD photoluminescence measurements confirm that the dual color emission is from individual nanocrystals. The probability of observing dual emission from individual QDs and the extent of blinking suppression increases withmore »« less
