چکیده

We demonstrate a new doping scheme where photo-induced carriers from graphene quantum dots (GQDs) can be injected into GaN and greatly enhance photoluminescence (PL) in GaN epilayers. An 8.3-fold enhancement of PL in GaN is observed after the doping. On the basis of time-resolved PL studies, the PL enhancement is attributed to the carrier transfer from GQDs to GaN. Such a carrier transfer process is caused by the work function difference between GQDs and GaN, which is verified by Kelvin probe measurements. We have also observed that photocurrent in GaN can be enhanced by 23-fold due to photo-induced doping with GQDs. The improved optical and transport properties from photo-induced doping are promising for applications in GaN-based optoelectronic devices.

Miniband formation engineering in GaN/AlN constant total effective radius multi-shells quantum dots and rings with on-center hydrogenic donor impurities

In this work, we have studied the miniband and minigaps of GaN/AlN constant total effective radius multi-shells quantum dots (CTER-MSQDs) and Rings (CTERMSQRs).We have investigated effects of the Hydrogenic donor impurities, quantum dots and rings radii, and the number of wells on miniband formation by sub-band energy calculations. We show that in these systems, minigaps can be created and then...

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...

M ar 2 00 7 Tunable quantum dots in bilayer graphene

We demonstrate theoretically that quantum dots in bilayers of graphene can be realized. A position-dependent doping breaks the equivalence between the upper and lower layer and lifts the degeneracy of the positive and negative momentum states of the dot. Numerical results show the simultaneous presence of electron and hole confined states for certain doping profiles and a remarkable angular mom...
