Dense-packed embedded semiconductor quantum dot (QD) layers with a multimodal size distribution are representing new types of QD solids. Their optical and electronic properties are modified due to dipole-dipole interactions and tunneling effects. In this work sequential high dose ion implantation of Cd and Se and subsequent thermal treatment is used to synthesize QD assemblies with the required structural properties in the surface near region of 500 nm thick thermally grown SiO2 on Silicon. We used cw photoluminescence (PL) to study PL-yield as a function of pump laser power at low temperatures for different various stoichiometries and annealing conditions. In these embedded QD assemblies of mixed size distribution we detected a promising non-linear increase of the PL-intensity with laser excitation power. The exponents evaluated are maximal for implanted Cd:Se-dose ratios between 0.8 and 1.0. The power law dependence of the PL-yield on pump laser power will be discussed in context with electronic energy transfer between dense-packed QD's of different size, implanted dose ratios and postimplantation thermal treatment conditions.

AbstractPreviously, we showed that localized optical modifications could be produced without subsequent post thermal annealing in selectively masked planar GaAs/Al 4Ga6As waveguide structures using 10 MeV oxygen ions. In our present investigation, irradiation experiments were performed on masked GaAs/Al 4Ga6As waveguide samples at 298 K using 10 MeV oxygen and 8 MeV carbon ions. The two ion incident energies were chosen to yield the maximum electronic stopping power near the interface septing the top cladding layer and the guiding layer. This localized modification process emphasizes the crucial role that the electronic energy transfer plays on the degree to which the refractive index of the guiding layer is altered. Propagation loss measurements on the fabricated channel waveguides were performed by end fire coupling a laser diode source at a wavelength of 1.3 μm. Observation of the extracted propagation loss values reveal that further optimization of the ion beam pmeters are required before practical applications can be achieved. The relative efficiency of the various ions to induce optically altered regions which serve as lateral confinement barriers of laser light shows that this fabrication process is sensitive to the ion beam current.

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.

A pump-probe experimental technique that incorporated a 527nm wavelength pump laser and a 476nm probe laser was applied to a magnetic storage disk having a magnetic layer comprised of a FePt alloy and coated with a hydrogenated carbon overcoat (COC). The pump laser power was systematically increased while sweeping the applied field with an electromagnet to observe the temperature dependent magnetization, which is proportional to the change in the polarization of the reflected beam. In this way the laser power required to heat the media to the Curie temperature (Tc) was determined, with the Curie temperature of the media determined from a separate magnetometry measurement. Such a single point laser power-to-media temperature calibration allowed the determination of the media temperature over a small laser power range near Tc. The carbon over-coated FePt media was then irradiated for varying durations at temperatures pertinent to a Heat Assisted Magnetic Recording (HAMR) device [1]. The COC surface topography and carbon bonding structure within each irradiated zone was probed with AFM and micro-spot Raman. A subtle, systematic temperature and duration dependent change in the COC was observed. With increasing temperature and duration, the Raman D-peak became increasingly pronounced, signaling an increase of the sp2 (disorder) content in the film in the irradiated region. At incrementally higher temperatures, the loss of the carbon overcoat becomes apparent as a shallow depression in the COC film in the irradiated area. A clearer picture of the possible sensitivity and kinetics of the loss of COC on the HAMR media surface was obtained by measuring its loss over a range of irradiation temperatures and durations. The activation energy and COC loss rate were obtained and a possible mechanism for COC failure-loss was discussed within the bounds of the operating HAMR device [2].
