Calculation of Energy Diagram of Asymmetric Graded-Band-Gap Semiconductor Superlattices
The paper theoretically investigates the peculiarities of energy diagram of asymmetric graded-band-gap superlattices with linear coordinate dependences of band gap and electron affinity. For calculating the energy diagram of asymmetric graded-band-gap superlattices, linearized Poisson's equation has been solved for the two layers forming a period of the superlattice. The obtained coordinate dep...
متن کاملDipole-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 کاملLocalization and band-gap pinning in semiconductor superlattices with layer-thickness fluctuations
We consider (AlAs)n/(GaAs)n superlattices with random thickness fluctuations ∆n around the nominal period n. Using three-dimensional pseudopotential plane-wave band theory, we show that (i) any amount ∆n/n of thickness fluctuations leads to band-edge wavefunction localization, (ii) for small ∆n/n the SL band gap is pinned at the gap level produced by a single layer with “wrong” thickness n+∆n, ...
متن کاملEnergy Diagram of Semiconductor/Electrolyte Junctions.
I electrochemistry and photoelectrochemistry, it is most common to refer the voltage to a reference electrode (RE) or in a two-electrode cell with respect to a counterelectrode (CE). However, in a semiconductor film that is composed of several junctions, as in semiconductor nanoheterostructures including catalytic layers, it is convenient to use the energy scale with reference to the vacuum lev...
متن کاملLocalized Wavefunctions and Magnetic Band Structure for Lateral Semiconductor Superlattices
In this paper we present calculations on the electronic band structure of a two-dimensional lateral superlattice subject to a perpendicular magnetic field by employing a projection operator technique based on the ray-group of magnetotranslation operators. We construct a new basis of appropriately symmetrized Bloch-like wavefunctions as linear combination of well-localized magnetic-Wannier funct...
