The densities and sizes of quantum dots are different for the two samples. The variation tendencies of PL peak energy, integrated intensity, and full width at half maximum versus temperature for the two samples are analyzed, respectively. We find the anomalous temperature dependence of the InAs/GaAs quantum dots and compare it with other previous reports. We propose a new energy band model to explain the phenomenon. We obtain the activation energy of the carrier through the linear fitting of the Arrhenius curve in a high temperature range. It is found that the Ga As barrier layer is the major quenching channel if there is no defect in the material. Otherwise, the defects become the major quenching channel when some defects exist around the QDs.展开更多

In the previous research, photoluminescence（PL） of ZAISe QDs only could be tuned by changing the composition. In this work the size-tunable photoluminescence was observed successfully. The red shift in the photoluminescence spectra was caused by the quantum confinement effect. The time-resolved photoluminescence indicated that the luminescence mechanisms of the ZAISe QDs were contributed by three recombination processes. Furthermore, the temperature-dependent PL spectra were investigated. We verified the regular change of temperature-dependent PL intensity, peak energy, and the emission linewidth of broadening for ZAISe QDs. According to these fitting data, the activation energy（？E） of ZAISe QDs with different nanocrystal sizes was obtained and the stability of luminescence was discussed.展开更多

The microstructures of the MQWs were characterized by double-crystal X-ray rocking curve (DCRC) and atomic force microscopy (AFM), and the photoluminescence (PL) properties of the MQWs were also studied. The MQWs grown with GIH method show that higher order satellite peaks of Pendell?sung fringes are observed in DCRC, the roughness of surface is much reduced in AFM, and the full width at half maximum (FWHM) of exciton line is much narrower in PL. The results indicate that the GIH method reduces the monolayer growth step density at the heterointerface due to the migration of surface atoms for a few minutes growth interruption, and substantially improves the quality of AlGaAs/GaAs MQWs.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

Spatially-resolved photoluminescence results indicate that the ion-implantation induced quantum well intermixing raises significantly the electron subband energies of the side quantum wells and vertical quantum wells, and more efficient accumulation of electrons in the quantum wires is achieved. Furthermore, the polarization properties of the photoluminescence from the quantum wires show large linear polarization degree up to 63%. Magneto- transport investigation on the ion implanted quantum wire samples presents the quasi-one dimensional intrinsic motion of electrons, which is important for the design and optimization of one dimensional electronic devices.展开更多
