ABSTRACTWe have demonstrated single dot spectroscopy of InAs/GaAs self-assembled quantum dots embedded in a bias controlled Schottky diode. The photoluminescence spectra exhibit discrete lines depending on bias, which we attribute to the recombination of positively charged, neutral, and negatively charged confined excitons. With excitation directly into the dot, large circular polarization memory is exhibited by the two charged exciton (trion) lines. This indicates long spin lifetimes for both the electron and the heavy hole in the quantum dots.

Polarized photoluminescence from InAs / GaAs self-assembled quantum dots has been investigated under continuous wave excitation by circularly polarized light. Depolarization of the photoluminescence in a magnetic field perpendicular to the wavevector of the exciting light (Hanle effect) was studied. For n-doped, undoped and p-doped quantum dots the observed Hanle curves exhibit qualitatively different shapes: single-, bi-, and tri-Lorentzian, respectively. In the two latter cases the complicated shape of the Hanle curve is attributed to the different processes of radiative recombination which take place simultaneously. Recombination of uncharged excitons and recombination of positively charged exciton complexes are considered. Corresponding spin lifetimes are determined.

AbstractAb initio Hartree-Fock and second-order Möller-Plesset theory calculations have been performed to investigate the stability of triply-coordinated 0+ centers in the Si-O-Si network of amorphous SiO2. The calculations reveal that the H+ ion binds with a bridging O center to form a very stable (De > 6 eV) trivalent O complex. Capture of an electron by the positively charged protonated complex, however, is predicted to immediately lead to the dissociation of the O-H bond. A relatively weaker, but stable bond is also formed between the bridging O atom and a +SiH3 ion.

ABSTRACTIntensive research is currently underway to exploit the intriguing optical and electronic behaviour of nano-sized particles. The basis of the unique properties of these particles is the smallness of their size; dimensions on the nanometre scale can result in interesting quantum mechanical phenomena, such as Coulomb blockade. There are currently a number of ways by which the nanoparticles can be deposited onto solid substrates. Here, we report on the use of the layer-by-layer electrostatic method, which has shown much promise in the context of deposition of thin films of certain organic materials. In this technique, layers of oppositely charged materials are generated by dipping an appropriate substrate into solutions of polyelectrolytes. For example, the polybases poly(ethyleneimine) (PEI), when adsorbed on a substrate, produce a positively charged surface. We have deposited carboxylic acid (-COOH) derivatised gold nanoparticles onto a PEI-coated silicon substrate and an amine funtionalised silicon substrate. The distribution of the gold nanoparticles was compared using atomic force microscopy.
