However, detailed study on the influence of the organic material on NDR performance is still scarce. In this work, room-temperature NDR ＆ observed when CdSe quantum dot （QD） modified ITO is used as the electrode. Furthermore, material dependence of the NDR performance is observed by selecting materials with different charge transporting properties as the active layer, respectively. A peak-to-valley current ratio up to 9 is observed. It is demonstrated that the injection barrier between ITO and the organic active layer plays a decisive role for the device NDR performance. The influence of the aggregation state of CdSe QDs on the NDR performance is also studied, which indicates that the NDR is caused by the resonant tunneling process in the ITO/CdSe QD/organic active layer structure.展开更多

The photoluminescence (PL) and the electroluminescence (EL) spectra of InAs (SLQDs) were investigated theoretically under the presence of external parameters (pressure, temperature, electric field). Existing of both the temperature and the applied electric field lead to a significant decrease in photoluminescence peak energy (red-shift), while an increase existed in presence of applied hydrostatic pressure (blue-shift). Also with increasing the quantum azimuthal number the photoluminescence peak energy increase. In addition, we found no effect on the band shape of the luminescence as a result of existing such parameters. The study indicates the importance of such parameters as fitting parameters for photoluminescence spectra.展开更多

The same laser structures are grown, but the growth temperatures of InAs dot layers are set as 425 and 500℃, respectively. Ridge waveguide laser diodes are fabricated, and the characteristics of the QD lasers are systematically studied. The laser diodes with QDs grown at 425 ~C show better performance, such as threshold current density, output power, internal quantum efficiency, and characteristic temperature, than those with QDs grown at 500℃. This finding is ascribed to the higher QD density and more uniform size distribution of QDs achieved at 425℃.展开更多
