Micro-photoluminescence of GaAs/AlGaAs triple concentric quantum rings
نویسندگان
چکیده
A systematic optical study, including micro, ensemble and time resolved photoluminescence of GaAs/AlGaAs triple concentric quantum rings, self-assembled via droplet epitaxy, is presented. Clear emission from localized states belonging to the ring structures is reported. The triple rings show a fast decay dynamics, around 40 ps, which is expected to be useful for ultrafast optical switching applications.

Growth Interruption Effect on the Fabrication of GaAs Concentric Multiple Rings by Droplet Epitaxy
WE PRESENT THE MOLECULAR BEAM EPITAXY FABRICATION AND OPTICAL PROPERTIES OF COMPLEX GAAS NANOSTRUCTURES BY DROPLET EPITAXY: concentric triple quantum rings. A significant difference was found between the volumes of the original droplets and the final GaAs structures. By means of atomic force microscopy and photoluminescence spectroscopy, we found that a thin GaAs quantum well-like layer is deve...
متن کاملOptical Properties of GaAs Quantum Dots Fabricated by Filling of Self-Assembled Nanoholes
Experimental results of the local droplet etching technique for the self-assembled formation of nanoholes and quantum rings on semiconductor surfaces are discussed. Dependent on the sample design and the process parameters, filling of nanoholes in AlGaAs generates strain-free GaAs quantum dots with either broadband optical emission or sharp photoluminescence (PL) lines. Broadband emission is fo...

In this paper, we study the electronic properties of a concentric triple quantum ring using exact diagonalization technique. The energy spectra and magnetization for a single electron and two electrons, in the presence of an applied magnetic field, are calculated and discussed. It is shown that, for two-interacting electrons, the period of Aharonov-Bohm oscillations decreases to the half of tha...

Optically thin AlGaAs/GaAs/AlGaAs double heterostructures, (5000 A), are floated off their substrates by the epitaxial liftoff technique and mounted on various high reflectivity surfaces. From the absolute photoluminescence intensity, we measure internal and external quantum efficiencies of 99.7% and 72%, respectively. High spontaneous emission quantum efficiency, is important for photon number...

We fabricated ordered GaAs/AlGaAs quantum dots (QDs) on patterned GaAs(0 0 1) substrates and investigated their optical properties by micro-photoluminescence (m-PL) spectroscopy. Sharp excitonic lines with single photon emission properties were observed. Polarization-dependent PL was performed to resolve the optical fine structure splitting of neutral excitonic lines and to identify the neutral...
