Aging effect of rolled-up InGaAs/GaAs/Cr helical nanobelts
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report an aging effect on as-fabricated InGaAs/GaAs/Cr helical nanobelts. It has been observed that over time the nanobelt diameter first decreases and then increases until a constant value is reached. The gradual change of the diameter of the helical nanobelts from their original value is due to the competition of stress relaxation along the transverse and longitudinal axes of the nanobelts. Finite element modeling (FEM) has been applied to validate the influence of the biaxial stress relaxation on the curvature change of these rolled-up helical nanobelts. In addition, the dependence of the pitch of the helix over time is investigated as well. 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

We report on single rolled-up microtubes integrated with silicon-on-insulator waveguides. Microtubes with diameters of ~7 μm, wall thicknesses of ~250 nm, and lengths greater than 100 μm are fabricated by selectively releasing a coherently strained InGaAs/GaAs quantum dot layer from the handling GaAs substrate. The microtubes are then transferred from their host substrate to silicon-on-insulato...

We report on selective polarization mode excitation in InGaAs/GaAs rolled-up microtubes. The microtubes are fabricated by selectively releasing a coherently strained InGaAs/GaAs quantum dot layer from its host GaAs substrate. An optical fiber abrupt taper is used to pick up the microtube, while an adiabatically tapered optical fiber is used to couple light into the resonant optical modes of the...

We report on theoretical and experimental investigation of azimuthal and longitudinal modes in rolled-up microtubes at telecom wavelengths. These microtubes are fabricated by selectively releasing a coherently strained InGaAs/GaAs bilayer. We apply planar waveguide method and a quasi-potential model to analyze the azimuthal and longitudinal modes in the microtubes near 1550 nm. Then we demonstr...

In this paper, the purpose is to improve the efficiency of triple-junction solar cell by introducing quantum well into GaAs junction. Firstly, InGaP/GaAs/InGaAs triple-junctions solar cell has been simulated. Then, a multiple stepped quantum wells (MSQWs), in which InGaAs well is sandwiched by InGaAsP as stepped layer, and the barrier is GaAs, has been introduced into intrinsic region of single...
