ABSTRACTThe temperature dependence of the cathodoluminescence (CL) originating from In0.21Ga0.79As/GaAs multiple quantum wells has been studied between 86 and 250 K. The CL intensity exhibits an Arrenhius-type dependence on temperature (T), characterized by two different activation energies. The spatial variations in activation energy caused by the presence of interfacial misfit dislocations is examined. The CL intensity dependence on temperature for T ≲ 150 K is controlled by thermally activated nonradiative recombination. For T ≳ 150 K the decrease in CL intensity is largely influenced by thermal re-emission of carriers out of the quantum wells.

AbstractInAsxPi.x/InP (10 period 50/100Å with x=0.25–0.79) pseudomorphically strained multiple quantum wells (SMQWs) were grown by gas source molecular beam expitaxy (GSMBE) at 470°C and characterized by cross-sectional transmission electron microscope (XTEM), double crystal x-ray diffraction (DCXRD), and optical spectroscopy. The structural analysis demonstrates that excellent control of the sharp interface and limited As-P interdiffusion can be achieved by GSMBE growth. XTEM images of these SMQWs display no misfit dislocations, and DCXRD scans reveal high order superlattice satellite peaks. Photoluminescence (PL) and transmission measurements were performed for all SMQWs to evaluate crystal quality. Only slight degradation in luminescence was observed as the As composition increased. Based on the three-band Kane model which includes the lattice strain, the transition energies of SMQWs were calculated using the conduction-band offset (Qc=δEc/δEg) as an adjustable parameter. The best fit of measured and calculated interband transition energies suggests that Qc is independent of As composition and is 0.70±0.05. Finally, a growth kinetics model based on the Langmuir equation was derived to realize the As/P incorporation ratio in the InAsP materials. Theoretical results show good agreement with experimental data.

ABSTRACTAn intense, broad photoluminescence PL peak, with an internal quantum efficiency as high as 31%, has been observed from a variety of structures containing Si1−xGex strained layers on Si(100) substrates; i.e. Si1−xGex thick random alloy layers, single quantum wells (SQW) and multiple quantum wells (MQW) with layers thick enough so that zone folding effects were not relevant. This peak, which shifted consistently and predictably with Ge concentration( 0.06 < × < 0.53), had its high energy edge near the established band gap for strained SiGe. PL excitation spectroscopy indicated that no phonons were involved in the process causing the SiGe PL peak. Samples deposited at ~ 400 °C exhibited low PL intensity, whereas annealing at ~ 600 °C enhanced the intensity by as much as two orders of magnitude. This anneal treatment was found to remove grown-in defect complexes without creating a significant density of misfit dislocations. The PL peak energy at 4.2 K varied from 620 to 990 meV for Ge fractions x from 0.53 to 0.06. When the samples were forced to relax, e.g. by higher temperature annealing, the luminescence of this peak either shifted to near the relaxed bandgap or was quenched by deep, dislocation related states. Prior to such relaxation, the efficient PL was due to exciton accumulation in the strained Si1−xGex layers of single and multiple quantum wells, where the bandgap was locally reduced. It is suggested that the recombination of electrons and holes occuring within a high-density electron hole condensate (EHC) can cause the observed spectrum.
