ABSTRACTLow temperature photoluminescence spectra have been used to characterize conventional ion beam (CIB) and focused ion beam (FIB) implanted superlattices. The excitation dependence of the single scan FIB is found to be significantly different from CIB and multiple scan FIB implantations which are similar. The peak position of the donor-acceptor transition is observed to change to higher energies significantly slower with excitation intensity for the single scan FIB case when compared to the multiple scan FIB and CIB cases. Simple models to describe these effects are briefly discussed.

Magnetophotoluminescence from spatially separated excitons in type-II semiconductor heterostructures, GaP/AlP neighboring confinement structures (NCSs) have been investigated. The sample studied consists of adjacent GaP and AlP quantum wells sandwiched between AlGaP barriers. The excitation power dependence and the well thickness dependence of the exciton PL are studied in magnetic fields applied perpendicular to the heterointerfaces. Compared to the thinner NCS, the magneto-PL of the wider NCS is strongly modified by the excitation power; the magnetic field dependence of the PL peak energy clearly changes from the anomalous red-shifts into the diamagnetic shifts with increasing excitation laser power.

We study the GaSb/GaAs nanostructures (NSs) grown by droplet epitaxy technique with various Ga amounts. Ga amount deposited on the GaAs (001) substrate was varied between 3-5 ML to form the different size and density of liquid Ga droplets. The Sb flux was subsequently irradiated to crystallize the droplets. Morphology of GaSb NSs was investigated by atomic force microscopy (AFM). Quantum rings were obtained after crystallizing 3-ML Ga droplets, whereas some kind of quantum dots were formed after crystallizing 4-and 5-ML Ga droplets. The formation mechanisms leading to the different structure are discussed. The photoluminescence (PL) measurement was performed to examine the optical properties of GaSb/GaAs NSs.

We investigated effects of the antimony flux on GaSb quantum dots (QDs) formed by droplet epitaxy. Ga droplets were first formed on GaAs and exposed to Sb4 molecular beam at 200 °C, where the flux PSb of Sb beam was varied from 2.4 to 12.8 × 10-7 Torr. The samples were then annealed for 2 minutes under the Sb flux. An atomic microscope study showed that the diameter of GaSb QDs increases and the density decreases, as the Sb flux PSb is increased. This indicates that the coalescence process of GaSb QDs occurs and is accelerated by the increase of the Sb flux. In a photoluminescence (PL) study, we observed a broad peak of GaSb QDs in all samples, while a strong luminescence of a wetting layer (WL)-like structure was found only in the samples prepared with the high Sb flux. This suggests that the PL of WL is controllable by adjusting the flux PSb of Sb beam.

The CdSe, type-II CdSe/CdTe core/shell and type-II/type-I CdSe/CdTe/ZnS core/shell/shell  quantum dots (QDs) were successfully synthesized in a noncoordinating solvent. The phonon characterizations, optical properties and structures of the synthesized QDs were characterized by Raman scattering (RS) spectra, photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy, PL-decay lifetime, absorption spectroscopy (Abs), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The growth of QDs was monitored by using RS, which demonstrated the formation of correct of the core/shell and core/shell/shell structures. Observation results from XRD reveal that all QDs crystallize in the cubic phase with zinc-blende structure. The typical characteristics of spatially indirect recombination for type-II QDs were observed through Abs and PL spectroscopy. The ZnS shell significantly enhanced the PL quantum yeild (QY), the optical durability, the chemical stability and separating CdSe/CdTe QDs from the surroundings. The effect of excitation power on the PL properties of the CdSe core,  CdSe/CdTe and CdSe/CdTe/ZnS QDs has been investigated.

Abstract We report the growth mechanism and optical characteristics of type-II band-aligned GaSb quantum dots (QDs) grown on GaAs using droplet epitaxy-driven nanowire formation mechanism in with molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). Using transmission electron microscope (TEM) and scanning electron microscope (SEM) images, we confirmed that the QDs, which comprise zinc-blende crystal structures with hexagonal shape, were successfully grown through the formation of a nanowire from a Ga droplet with less strain between GaAs and GaSb. Photoluminescence (PL) peaks of GaSb, which are capped by the GaAs layer, are observed at 1.11 eV, 1.26 eV, and 1.47 eV, assigned to the QDs, a wetting-like layer (WLL), and bulk GaAs, respectively, at the measurement temperature of 14 K and excitation laser power of 30 mW. The integrated PL intensity of the QDs is significantly stronger than the WLL, which indicates well-grown GaSb QDs on GaAs and the generation of an interlayer exciton, as shown in the power and temperature-dependent PL, respectively. In addition, Time-resolved PL (TRPL) data show that the GaSb QD and GaAs layer form a self-aligned type-II band alignment, and temperature-dependent PL data exhibit a high equivalent internal quantum efficiency of 15+/-0.2%.
