Characterization of quantum well structures using surface photovoltage spectroscopy
In this work a novel method to characterize quantum well (QW) structures and devices is presented. The method is based on the well-known surface photovoltage spectroscopy (SPS) and on numerical simulations. It is shown that the surface photovoltage is sensitive to the electron hole energy transition levels in the well layer as well as to features of other regions of the structure. The photovolt...
متن کاملCharacterization of excitonic features in self-assembled InAs/GaAs quantum dot superlattice structures via surface photovoltage spectroscopy
This work systematically investigates the influence of InAs growth conditions and superlattice parameters on the optical properties of InAs/GaAs quantum dot QD superlattice structures grown by molecular beam epitaxy. Using surface photovoltage spectroscopy, one directly obtains the absorption spectra up to the highest confined QD levels at room temperature. Based on photoluminescence measuremen...
متن کاملSurface photovoltage spectroscopy of semiconductor structures: at the crossroads of physics, chemistry and electrical engineering
The possibility of obtaining a detailed picture of the electronic structure makes surface photovoltage spectroscopy (SPS) eminently suitable for bridging the gap between the chemical, physical, optical and electrical properties of semiconductors. In SPS, changes in band bending (both at the free semiconductor surface and at buried interfaces) are monitored as a function of external illumination...
متن کاملTheory of transient spectroscopy of multiple quantum well structures
A theory of the transient spectroscopy of quantum well ~QW! structures under a large applied bias is presented. An analytical model of the initial part of the transient current is proposed. The time constant of the transient current depends not only on the emission rate from the QWs, as is usually assumed, but also on the subsequent carrier transport across QWs. Numerical simulation was used to...
متن کاملContinuous voltage tunability of intersubband relaxation times in coupled SiGe quantum well structures using ultrafast spectroscopy.
We demonstrate continuous voltage control of the nonradiative transition lifetime in semiconductor heterostructures. The results were obtained by picosecond time-resolved experiments on biased SiGe valence band quantum well structures using a free electron laser. By varying the applied voltage, the intersubband hole relaxation times for quantum well structures were varied by a factor of 2 as th...
