Effect of Pressure on Direct Optical Transitions of ?-InSe
2000
We have investigated the effect of hydrostatic pressure on direct optical transitions of the layered semiconductor γ-InSe by photoreflectance (PR) spectroscopy (T = 300 K). In addition, electroreflectance (ER) measurements were performed at ambient pressure. Six structures are resolved in the ER spectra in the energy range from 1.1 to 3.6 eV. The pressure dependence of four of these structures was determined by PR spectroscopy for pressures up to 8 GPa. In order to assign the features observed above the fundamental gap we have carried out band structure calculations for InSe at ambient pressure using a full-potential linear augmented plane wave method. Based on calculated band gap deformati…
Photoluminescence from strained InAs monolayers in GaAs under pressure
1994
bulk GaAs. At pressures above the band crossover two emission bands are observed. These bands, characterized by having negative pressure coefBcients, are attributed to the type-I transition between conduction-band X „and heavy-hole states of the InAs monolayer and the type-II transition &om X states in GaAs to InAs heavy-hole states. The results are interpreted in terms of tight-binding band-structure calculations for the strained InAs-monolayer — bulk-GaAs system. I. INTRODUCTION Highly strained InAs jGaAs heterostructures have recently attracted interest due to their unusual electronic and optical properties. ~ 4 Epitaxial isomorphic growth of InAs on GaAs can be achieved only up to a sma…
Vibrational Properties of InSe under Pressure: Experiment and Theory
1996
The pressure dependence of the phonon modes in the layered semiconductor γ-InSe has been investigated experimentally and theoretically for pressures up to 11 GPa. The mode Gruneisen parameters of all Raman-active zone-center phonons have been determined by Raman scattering under pressure. In addition, features corresponding to second and third-order scattering processes are apparent in the Raman spectra under resonance conditions, from which information about zone-edge modes can be obtained. For the assignment of the observed Raman features to vibrational modes we have calculated the phonon dispersion curves using a rigid-ion model including couplings to first-nearest neighbors and long-ran…
Different temperature renormalizations for heavy and light-hole states of monolayer-thick heterostructures
2000
Abstract We have found that the energy splitting between peaks in the linearly polarized emission from the cleaved surface of an InAs/GaAs monolayer structure triples with increasing temperature in the range from 5 to 150 K. For each polarization the main emission line corresponds to the radiative recombination of either heavy or light-hole excitons bound to the monolayer. The striking temperature behavior of the peak energies originates from the different hole–phonon coupling due to the much larger penetration of the light-hole envelope function into the GaAs. We prove this assertion by confining the light holes to the InAs plane with a strong magnetic field, which leads to a reduction of …
