AbstractIn heavily dislocated GaAs (dislocation density of 108cm-2), the low-temperature cathodo- luminescence efficiency of quantum wells and superlattices is dramatically higher than that of a bulk-like layer. Furthermore, the luminescence efficiency can be further improved by doping the barriers of the GaAs/(Al,Ga)As multi-quantum well structures with beryllium (Be). Two quite different possible models for this observation are discussed: One assumes that the effect is due to the expulsion of dislocation kinks from the wells, the other that it is due to the effect of well width fluctuations.

In this paper, the optical and electronic properties of asymmetric triple quantum well (ATQW) structures are studied depending on the indium concentrations while quantum well (QW) thicknesses and barrier widths are kept constant. Calculation of electronic properties are done within the framework of the effective mass approximation. The indium concentrations in left quantum well (LQW) and right quantum well (RQW) are varied in order to see the change of energy levels. Then, interband transition energies, wavelengths, oscillator strengths and radiative decay times are determined depending on barrier height. The scope of this study, for the first time in the literature, covers converged interband transition energies for the asymmetric quantum well structures.

AbstractA comparison of ion irradiation-induced intermixing in GaAs-Al0.54Gao46As quantum well structures with H, O and As ions is investigated by low temperature photoluminescence. Very large energy shifts are observed together with good recovery of the photoluminescence intensities after annealing in samples irradiated with protons. No saturation in the energy shifts is observed in samples irradiated even up to a dose of 4.3 x 1016 cm-2. Similar large shifts with low absorption are also observed in O and As implanted samples but at a significantly lower ion dose. However, both the heavier ions show a saturation effect in the degree of intermixng at higher doses. The degree of intermixing is believed to be a delicate balance among multiple competing processes that occurs across the interface.

Maintaining crystal quality during the growth of very thick multiple-quantum-wells is challenging due to the progressive deterioration in thick low-temperature barriers. The insertion of several high-temperature crystallinity restoring (CR) layers...

ABSTRACTWe combine chemical lattice imaging with digital pattern recognition to study atomic interdiffusion at individual CdTe/HgCdTe interfaces in multi-quantum well structures. In this way we obtain quantitative composition profiles for “as grown” samples, and investigate their development as a function of annealing temperature. Our results indicate that interdiffusion depends on the position of the quantum well with respect to the surface, beginning first at quantum wells close to the surface, and proceeding towards the substrate. Our approach allows the quantification of interdiffusion as a function of time, temperature, and distance from the surface. The implications of these results for the stability of CdTe/HgCdTe structures, and the interpretation of X-ray data are discussed.
