Dipole-allowed direct band gap silicon superlattices
Silicon is the most popular material used in electronic devices. However, its poor optical properties owing to its indirect band gap nature limit its usage in optoelectronic devices. Here we present the discovery of super-stable pure-silicon superlattice structures that can serve as promising materials for solar cell applications and can lead to the realization of pure Si-based optoelectronic d...
متن کاملTheoretical study of nitride short period superlattices.
Discussion of band gap behavior based on first principles calculations of electronic band structures for various short period nitride superlattices is presented. Binary superlattices, as InN/GaN and GaN/AlN as well as superlattices containing alloys, as InGaN/GaN, GaN/AlGaN, and GaN/InAlN are considered. Taking into account different crystallographic directions of growth (polar, semipolar and n...
متن کاملTerahertz band-gap in InAs/GaSb type-II superlattices
We demonstrate theoretically that it is possible to realize terahertz (THz) fundamental band-gap between the electron mini-band in the InAs layer and the heavy-hole mini-band in the GaSb layer in InAs/GaSb based type II superlattices (SLs). The THz band-gap can be tuned by varying the sample growth parameters such as the well widths of the InAs and/or GaSb layers. The presence of such band-gap ...
متن کاملEnergy band-gap engineering of graphene nanoribbons.
We investigate electronic transport in lithographically patterned graphene ribbon structures where the lateral confinement of charge carriers creates an energy gap near the charge neutrality point. Individual graphene layers are contacted with metal electrodes and patterned into ribbons of varying widths and different crystallographic orientations. The temperature dependent conductance measurem...
متن کاملBand Gap Engineering of Two-Dimensional Nitrogene
In our previous study, we have predicted the novel two-dimensional honeycomb monolayers of pnictogen. In particular, the structure and properties of the honeycomb monolayer of nitrogen, which we call nitrogene, are very unusual. In this paper, we make an in-depth investigation of its electronic structure. We find that the band structure of nitrogene can be engineered in several ways: controllin...
