Observation of inter-sub-level transitions in modulation-doped Ge quantum dots

چکیده
The inter-sub-level transitions in modulation-doped Ge quantum dots are observed. The dot structure is grown by molecular-beam epitaxy, and consists of 30 periods of Ge quantum dots sandwiched by two 6 nm boron-doped Si layers. An absorption peak in the midinfrared range is observed at room temperature by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, which is attributed to the transitions between the first two heavy-hole states of the Ge quantum dots. This study suggests the possible use of modulation-doped Ge quantum dots for improved infrared detector applications. © 1999 American Institute of Physics. S0003-6951 99 01338-8

Experimental investigation of the optical spin-selection rules in bulk Si and Ge/Si quantum dots
We study the relationship between the circular polarization of photoluminescence and the magnetic-fieldinduced spin polarization of the recombining charge carriers in bulk Si and Ge/Si quantum dots. First, we quantitatively compare experimental results on the degree of circular polarization of photons resulting from phonon-assisted radiative transitions in intrinsic and doped bulk Si with calcu...
متن کاملElectromodulated reflectance study of self-assembled Ge/Si quantum dots
We perform an electroreflectance spectroscopy of Ge/Si self-assembled quantum dots in the near-infrared and in the mid-infrared spectral range. Up to three optical transitions are observed. The low-energy resonance is proposed to correspond to a band-to-continuum hole transition in the Ge valence band. The other two modulation signals are attributed to the spatially direct transitions between t...
متن کاملThe theoretical study of adsorption of HCN gas on the surface of pristine, Ge, P and GeP-doped (4, 4) armchair BNNTs
In this research, the effects of HCN adsorption on the surface of the pristine, Ge, P, and GeP doped boron nitride nanotube (BNNTs) are investigated by using density function theory at the B3LYP/6–31G(d, p) level of theory. At the first step, we consider different configurations for adsorbing HCN molecule on the surface of BNNTs. The optimized models are used to calculate the structural, electr...
متن کاملTwo-photon-enhanced three-photon absorption in transition-metal-doped semiconductor quantum dots
We report the observation of two-photon-enhanced three-photon absorption (3PA) in transition-metal-doped semiconductor quantum dots (d-QDs) in the near-infrared spectral region. Due to the degeneracy between two-photon transitions to the states of metal ions inside the bandgap and three-photon transitions to the excitonic state, the 3PA cross-section is greatly enhanced in comparison with the p...

In this study, for the first time, a simple immunosensor for ultrasensitive recognition of Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG) in serum samples was fabricated by exploiting a simple approach. In this method, a low-cost and sensitive immunosensor was fabricated based on QDs-N-S/Au nanoparticles (NPs) modified Screen-Printed Carbon Electrode (SPCE). It seems that, QDs-N-S/Au NPs/ antibody as a bio...
