Semiconductor waveguide inversion in disordered narrow band-gap materials

چکیده
It has been previously demonstrated that it is possible to form the NOT gate in a coupled semiconductor waveguide structure in III–V materials. However, to this point, investigations have assumed the materials to be perfect. In this article, we present results of a semiconductor waveguide inverter in GaAs and InAs with disordered material effects included in the simulation. The behavior of the device clearly shows that with the inclusion of mild to moderate disorder in these materials, waveguide NOT gate function is still possible. Nevertheless, under heavy disorder in the system, clear switching becomes impossible. © 2003 American Vacuum Society. @DOI: 10.1116/1.1589521#

Thermal degradation of semiconductor qubit inverter operation in narrow band-gap materials
Recently, quantum computing has received a great deal of focus as a possible means of achieving rapid computational speeds when compared with that of classical computation. Nonetheless, in many of the current implementations of a “quantum computer”, the semiconductor platform has been largely overlooked. It has been previously demonstrated that it is possible to form the NOT gate in a coupled s...
متن کاملCircuits for light in holographically defined photonic-band-gap materials
We present a theoretical roadmap for three-dimensional optical waveguide networks in holographically defined, diamondlike photonic band gap PBG materials. A fully 3D waveguide network is demonstrated through broadband 100–200 nm , single-mode waveguiding in air, coupled with sharp bends in three dimensions with minimal backscattering. Optimal waveguides in the in-plane x and y directions are sh...
متن کاملElectrochemical Capacitance Voltage Profiling of the Narrow Band Gap Semiconductor InAs
The design of compound semiconductor based devices increasingly requires the integration of materials of differing band gaps. This is achieved by depositing layers of different semiconductors epitaxially on a substrate. Techniques such as molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) and metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) can be used to precisely control the thickness and chemical composition of he...

In this paper, a photonic crystal waveguide with point defects and lattice constant perturbations of +5%, -5% are being investigated. Firstly waveguide structures with constant and specific parameters are being studied and photonic band gap diagrams for TE/TM modes are depicted; then pulse propagation in the frequencies available in the band gap are shown. After that, effects of parameters like...
متن کاملStrain induced topological phase transitions in monolayer honeycomb structures of group-V binary compounds.
We present first-principles calculations of electronic structures of a class of two-dimensional (2D) honeycomb structures of group-V binary compounds. Our results show these new 2D materials are stable semiconductors with direct or indirect band gaps. The band gap can be tuned by applying lattice strain. During their stretchable regime, they all exhibit metal-indirect gap semiconductor-direct g...
