Proton irradiation-induced intermixing in InxGa1−xAs/InP quantum wells—the effect of In composition
نویسندگان
چکیده
We have investigated atomic intermixing in InxGa1−xAs/InP quantum well (QW) structures induced by proton irradiation using photoluminescence (PL) and time-resolved photoluminescence. Photoluminescence results revealed that energy shift was systematically decreased as irradiation temperature was increased, followed by a broadening of the PL linewidth and reduction of the PL intensity. Time-resolved photoluminescence results at room temperature showed that the capture time of carriers in the quantum well region which reflects in the rise time of PL intensity is different for various quantum well structures with different strain and the carrier collection efficiency enhanced in the intermixed QWs. The time evolution of PL intensity also indicates that intermixing changes the strain profile of three QWs.

Strong Optical Filed Intensity Improvement Introducing InGaAsP Quantum Wells in InP Nanocavity
This paper presents the optical characteristics of a quantum well doped InP nanocavity.The resonance wavelength of the nanocavity and the optical field intensity is calculated before and after presence of the quantum wells. The resulting huge filed intensity of about 1.2×108 respect to the incident field is the effect of quantum wells placed in vicinity of center of nanocavity.
متن کاملDirect determination of the ambipolar diffusion length in strained InxGa1-xAs/InP quantum wells by cathodoluminescence
The ambipolar diffusion length is measured in strained &Gal-&/InP quantum wells for several mole fractions in the interval 0.3 <X <0.8 by cathodoluminescence. The ambipolar diffusion length is found to have a significantly higher value in the lower indium mole fraction samples corresponding to tensile-strained wells. This longer diffusion length for the tensile samples is consistent with result...

Proton implantation-induced intermixing of InAs quantum dots QDs capped with InP, GaInAsP, and InP and InGaAs layers grown by metal-organic chemical vapor deposition is investigated. The samples are annealed at 750, 800, 850, and 900 °C for 30 s and thermal stability of the QDs is studied. The optimum annealing temperature is around 800 °C which gives maximum implantation-induced energy shift. ...
