Optical properties of GaAs/AlGaAs quantum wells (QWs) in the vicinity of InAlAs quantum dots (QDs) were studied and compared with a theoretical model to clarify how the QD strain affects the electronic states in the nearby QW. In0.4Al0.6As QDs are embedded at the top of the QWs; the QD layer acts as a source of strain as well as an energy barrier. Photoluminescence excitation (PLE) measurements showed that the QD formation leads to the increase in the ratio Ie-lh/Ie-hh of the PLE intensities for the light hole (lh) and the heavy hole (hh), indicating the presence of the valence band mixing. We also theoretically calculated the hh-lh mixing in the QW due to the nearby QD strain and evaluated the PLE ratio Ie-lh/Ie-hh.

AbstractWe present a detailed photoluminescence and photoluminescence excitation study of GaAs grown directly on InP substrates by MOCVD. Reliable peak assignments are determined. With these peak assignments, we measure strain and strain uniformity, identify impurities, and assess material quality. Most samples exhibit three distinct spectral features. The two highest energy features are the strain split valence band, the third feature is a carbon impurity. The observed splitting is in good agreement with the value predicted from the thermal expansion mismatch.

ABSTRACTThe photoluminescence of GaAs/Si grown by OMCVD has been analyzed as a function of temperature and the dominant high temperature line identified as a conduction-band-to-valence-band transition. Photoluminescence excitation spectra indicate that the transition is excitonic at 4.2 K. A second line, also identified as intrinsic, dominates the spectra below 100 K. A biaxial tensile strain is proposed to account for the two intrinsic lines through a splitting of the valence band degeneracy.

A colloidal technology for the synthesis and doping of low-dimensional structures based on zinc and cadmium sulfides directly in the medium of an acrylic monomer is implemented in the process of obtaining optically transparent compositions of polymethylmethacrylate/(Zn,Cd,Mn,Eu)S. It is shown that the photoluminescence of the compositions is associated with a system of levels of structural defects of semiconductor particles located in its band gap, which are formed during successive doping of ZnS and CdS layers with Mn2+ and Eu3+ ions, and with intraband 5D0 → 7F1,2,4 transitions of 4f-electrons of Eu3+ ions. Photoluminescence excitation it occurs as a result of the transition of electrons from the valence band of a semiconductor to the levels of defects in its structure and partial energy transfer to the excited energy levels of Eu3+ ions.

ABSTRACTWe report a detailed study using photoluminescence and photoluminescence excitation of MOCVD GaAs grown directly on Si substrates. Temperature variation and selective excitation allow reliable assignment of spectral features. This assignment permits measurements of strain and strain uniformity, identification of impurities, and assessment of general materials quality. In 2–5μm thick layers similar spectra are observed with little variation from substrate character. Most samples show one of the two split valence band features plus defect recombination, always including carbon. Strain uniformity varies widely and correlates with substrate thickness. The range of spectra observed from a variety of samples, and guidelines for interpretation of nonresonantly excited spectra will be discussed.
