AbstractWe demonstrate the measurement of p-channel silicon-on-insulator quantum dots at liquid helium temperatures by using a radio frequency (rf) reflectometry circuit comprising of two independently tunable GaAs varactors. This arrangement allows observing Coulomb diamonds at 4.2 K under nearly best matching condition and optimal signal-to-noise ratio. We also discuss the rf leakage induced by the presence of the large top gate in MOS nanostructures and its consequence on the efficiency of rf-reflectometry. These results open the way to fast and sensitive readout in multi-gate architectures, including multi qubit platforms.

Insight Into

<p>Two quantum dots, both alike in composition, but differing in structure, where we lay our scene. From broader classes, to bring deeper understanding, to the crystalline core that drives the quantum dot's sheen. In this contribution we examine two families of silicon quantum dots (SiQDs) that bring to mind the Capulets and the Montagues in Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet because of their stark similarities and differences. SiQDs are highly luminescent, heavy-metal-free and based upon earth-abundant elements. As such, they have attracted attention for far reaching applications ranging from biological imaging to luminescent solar concentrators to light-emitting diodes that rely on their size-dependent optical response. Unfortunately, correlating SiQD “size” to their photoluminescence maximum is often challenging. Herein, we provide essential structural insight into the correlation of SiQD dimension and PL maximum through a direct comparison of samples that exhibit statistically identical physical dimensions (d<sub>TEM</sub>) and chemical compositions, but different crystallite size (d<sub>XRD</sub>) and PL maxima. We then expand the scope of this investigation and systematically compare groupings of SiQDs: one in which the d<sub>XRD</sub> and d<sub>TEM</sub> agree and one where d<sub>XRD </sub>< d<sub>TEM</sub>. This latter comparison clearly shows d<sub>XRD</sub> better predicts SiQD optical response when using the well-established effective mass approximation. </p>

Emission Quantum Yield

Water-soluble, biocompatible, and highly luminescence carbon quantum dots (CQDs) have synthesized successfully from a citric acid (CA) and ethylenediamine (EDA) by using different approaches. Although the emission quantum yield of CQDs could be as high as 80% their emission spectrum is usually dominated by surface fluorophore groups and maximized at about 450 nm. Herein, we examined the effects of acid and amine precursors on the photoluminescence (PL) of resulting CQDs by systematic comparison the optical properties of CQDs obtained from CA, PA (phthalic acid) and EDA, ANL (aniline). UV-vis and PL spectroscopic studies revealed that the absorption onset varied from 325 nm to 400 nm while PL maximum changed from 390 nm to 450 nm by engineering acid and amine precursors. The emission quantum yield was also changed from 9 to 70%, depending on the used acid-amine precursors.  Keywords Carbon quantum dots, hydrothermal synthesis, color tuning, photoluminescence, acid, amine References K.
