چکیده

Atomically uniform silver films grown on highly doped n-type Si(111) substrates show fine-structured electronic fringes near the silicon valence band edge as observed by angle-resolved photoemission. No such fringes are observed for silver films grown on lightly doped n-type substrates or p-type substrates, although all cases exhibited the usual quantum-well states corresponding to electron confinement in the film. The fringes correspond to electronic states extending over the silver film as a quantum well and reaching into the silicon substrate as a quantum slope, with the two parts coherently coupled through an incommensurate interface structure.

A hybrid AlGaInAs-silicon evanescent waveguide photodetector.

We report a waveguide photodetector utilizing a hybrid waveguide structure consisting of AlGaInAs quantum wells bonded to a silicon waveguide. The light in the hybrid waveguide is absorbed by the AlGaInAs quantum wells under reverse bias. The photodetector has a fiber coupled responsivity of 0.31 A/W with an internal quantum efficiency of 90 % over the 1.5 mum wavelength range. This photodetect...

Using electronic coherence to probe a deeply embedded quantum well in bimetallic Pb/Ag films on Si(111).

We report an experiment in which we utilize electronic coherence to probe a deeply embedded thin film as a quantum well. An atomically uniform Ag film prepared on Si(111) was covered by Pb films up to 70 A thick, and the resulting electronic structure was examined by angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy. Despite a photoemission escape depth of just a few Angströms and an incommensurate Pb/...

Coherent resonant transmission in temporally periodically driven potential wells: the Fano mirror

The electron transmission over an oscillating quantum well is studied perturbatively and numerically in the phase-coherent regime. The dynamically induced multichannel situation gives rise to a pronounced asymmetric resonance and antiresonance structure. The Fano line obtained is attributed to the interaction of the raised virtual discrete energy level with the continuum. Interestingly, the uni...
