due to many important applications, the group iii-nitride semiconductors have recently attractedremarkable attention among semiconductor researchers and engineers. in this paper, we report on the impact of extrinsic and temporal carriers on the screening of polarization internal fields. the optical efficiency of gan/algan multiple quantum well (mqw) nanostructures were studied by means of photo...

Carrier localization phenomena in indium-rich InGaN/GaN multiple quantum wells (MQWs) grown on sapphire and GaN substrates were investigated. Temperature-dependent photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy, ultraviolet near-field scanning optical microscopy (NSOM), and confocal time-resolved PL (TRPL) spectroscopy were employed to verify the correlation between carrier localization and crystal qualit...

We explore the dynamics of blue emission from dodecylamine and ammonia functionalized silicon nanocrystals (Si NCs) with average diameters of ∼3 and ∼6 nm using time-resolved photoluminescence (TRPL) spectroscopy. The Si NCs exhibit nanosecond PL decay dynamics that is independent of NC size and uniform across the emission spectrum. The TRPL measurements reveal complete quenching of core state ...

Photoluminescence ~PL! and time-resolved photoluminescence ~TRPL! were used to study optical emissions of ultrathin InAs layers with average layer thickness ranging from 1 12 to 1 ML grown on GaAs substrates. We have found that the inhomogeneous broadening of the PL from InAs layers can be well described by the quantum-well model with InAs islands coupling to each other and being regarded as a ...

Optical properties of InGaN/GaN multi-quantum-well (MQW) structures with a nanolayer of Ag/SiO2 nanoparticle (NP) on top were studied. Modeling and optical absorption (OA) measurements prove that the NPs form localized surface plasmons (LSP) structure with a broad OA band peaked near 440-460 nm and the fringe electric field extending down to about 10 nm into the GaN layer. The presence of this ...

In this work, we examine the impact of hybrid bimetallic Au/Ag core/shell nanostructures on the carrier dynamics of methylammonium lead tribromide (MAPbBr3) mesoporous perovskite solar cells (PSCs). Plasmon-enhanced PSCs incorporated with Au/Ag nanostructures demonstrated improved light harvesting and increased power conversion efficiency by 26% relative to reference devices. Two complementary ...

We report on detailed temperature dependent, time-resolved photoluminescence (TRPL) studies of Si-doped AlGaN epilayers. In these samples, the Al concentration varies from 25% to 66%. The samples were found to exhibit metallic-like temperature-independent conductivity. The deep level "yellow" emission, whose presence would indicate the existence of a large number of defects associated with grow...

Time-resolved optical characterization is an indispensable tool to study the recombination mechanisms of excitons and/or carriers based on radiative, non-radiative, localization and many-body processes. In this paper, we review the instrumentation of various spectroscopic techniques for the assessment of InxGa1– xN-based semiconductors such as time-resolved photoluminescence (TRPL), time-resolv...

Time Resolved Photoluminescence (TRPL) measurements on the picosecond time scale (temporal resolution of 17 ps) on colloidal CdSe and CdSe/ZnS Quantum Dots (QDs) were performed. Transient PL spectra reveal three emission peaks with different lifetimes (60 ps, 460 ps and 9–10 ns, from the bluest to the reddest peak). By considering the characteristic decay times and by comparing the energetic se...
