Far-infrared spectroscopy of single quantum dots in high magnetic fields
نویسندگان
چکیده
Excitation spectra of single GaAs/AlxGa12xAs quantum dots ~QD’s! are studied by using a technique of far-infrared single-photon detection. The spectra consist of a single resonance line, the resonance frequency of which is by several percent larger than the cyclotron-resonance frequency but is substantially smaller than the magnetoplasma frequencies of mesa-etched QD’s earlier found through the standard far-infrared transmission spectroscopy. The resonance frequency is found to be in substantial agreement with the characteristic frequency of the parabolic bare confinement potential of the QD’s, and is ascribed to the excitation of the upper branch of the Kohn-mode collective plasma oscillations.

Modeling of High Temperature GaN Quantum Dot Infrared Photodetectors
In this paper, we present calculations for different parameters of quantum dot infrared photodetectors. We considered a structure which includes quantum dots with large conduction-band-offset materials (GaN/AlGaN). Single band effective mass approximation has been applied in order to calculate the electronic structure. Throughout the modeling, we tried to consider the limiting factors which dec...

The acid oxidation of carbon nanotube generally results in opening the close ends of the nanotube and to make surface modifications. Herewith, Multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were oxidized in acids at high temperature experimental conditions which led to the formation of graphene quantum dots (GQDs). High resolution transmission electron microscope (HRTEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectro...

متن کاملElectrostatics of quantum dots in high magnetic fields and single far-infrared photon detection
Electron transport through a single electron transistor ~SET! is studied with and without illumination of far-infrared ~FIR! radiation in high magnetic fields. The SET consists of a GaAs/AlxGa12xAs quantum dot ~QD!. The transport characteristics obtained without the FIR illumination is well analyzed in terms of capacitance matrix by assuming that the QD in strong magnetic fields is split into i...

Advances in the semiconductor technologies allow the realization of quantum dot structure in which a finite number of electrons are confined by an artificial potentials [1–3]. The number of electrons in a quantum dot, denoted N , which can also be controlled experimentally, affects many physical properties of the quantum dot. By changing the quantum dot size and the number of electrons, far-inf...
