Oscillator strength reduction induced by external electric fields in self-assembled quantum dots and rings
2007
We have carried out continuous wave and time resolved photoluminescence experiments in self-assembled In(Ga)As quantum dots and quantum rings embedded in field effect structure devices. In both kinds of nanostructures, we find a noticeable increase of the exciton radiative lifetime with the external voltage bias that must be attributed to the field-induced polarizability of the confined electron hole pair. The interplay between the exciton radiative recombination and the electronic carrier tunneling in the presence of a stationary electric field is therefore investigated and compared with a numerical calculation based on the effective mass approximation.

X-ray Absorption Study of Gallium Arsenide at the Ga and As K-edges
1993
We present X-ray absorption study of gallium arsenide at the Ga and As K-edges. The analysis of the X-ray absorption fine structure was done in the framework of the multiple-scattering theory. Both XANES and EXAFS regions are considered. The calculated signals are in very good agreement with experimental data. It is shown that for both edges multiple-scattering contributions are negligible for wavevector values greater than 3 Å-1, and single-scattering analysis can be used without significant loss of accuracy in that region.
The effect of high-In content capping layers on low-density bimodal-sized InAs quantum dots
2013
[EN] The structural and morphological features of bimodal-sized InAs/(In) GaAs quantum dots with density in the low 10(9) cm(-2) range were analyzed with transmission electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy and were related to their optical properties, investigated with photoluminescence and time-resolved photoluminescence. We show that only the family of small quantum dots (QDs) is able to emit narrow photoluminescence peaks characteristic of single-QD spectra; while the behavior of large QDs is attributed to large strain fields that may induce defects affecting their optical properties, decreasing the optical intensity and broadening the homogeneous linewidth. Then, by using a rat…
Two-dimensional hydrogenated buckled gallium arsenide: an ab initio study
2020
First-principles calculations have been carried out to investigate the stability, structural and electronic properties of two-dimensional (2D) hydrogenated GaAs with three possible geometries: chair, zigzag-line and boat configurations. The effect of van der Waals interactions on 2D H-GaAs systems has also been studied. These configurations were found to be energetic and dynamic stable, as well as having a semiconducting character. Although 2D GaAs adsorbed with H tends to form a zigzag-line configuration, the energy differences between chair, zigzag-line and boat are very small which implies the metastability of the system. Chair and boat configurations display a [Formula: see text]-[Formu…
Tunable 2D-gallium arsenide and graphene bandgaps in a graphene/GaAs heterostructure : an ab initio study
2019
The bandgap behavior of 2D-GaAs and graphene have been investigated with van der Waals heterostructured into a yet unexplored graphene/GaAs bilayer, under both uniaxial stress along c axis and different planar strain distributions. The 2D-GaAs bandgap nature changes from [Formula: see text]-K indirect in isolated monolayer to [Formula: see text]-[Formula: see text] direct in graphene/GaAs bilayer. In the latter, graphene exhibits a bandgap of 5 meV. The uniaxial stress strongly affects the graphene electronic bandgap, while symmetric in-plane strain does not open the bandgap in graphene. Nevertheless, it induces remarkable changes on the GaAs bandgap-width around the Fermi level. However, w…
Reconstitution of a protein monolayer on thiolates functionalized gaas surface
2012
International audience; In the aim to realize an efficient resonant biosensor, gallium arsenide (GaAs) presents many advantages. In addition to its properties of transduction, GaAs is a crystal for which microfabrication processes were developed, conferring the possibility to miniaturize the device and integrate electronic circuit. Moreover, the biofunctionalization could be realized on the crystalline surface without layer deposition, constituting a real advantage to perform reusable sensor. The functionalization of GaAs surface was engaged in order to immobilize a protein monolayer on this substrate. Functionalization was done using a mixed self assembled monolayer of thiolate molecules. …
Investigation of Critical Points of Pore Formation Voltage on the Surface of Semiconductors of A3B5 Group
2021
In this work, critical values of pore-formation in electrochemical machining of semiconductors of A 3 B 5 group are studied. On the example of indium phosphide, the indicators of the series of dependence of current density on the voltage of anodization are studied. The rates of current density increase in the regime of gradual rise of anodization voltage are determined. According to these indicators, the intervals are established, within which the active pore-formation occurs on the surface of semiconductor.
Microwave characterization and modeling of packaged HEMTs by a direct extraction procedure at cryogenic temperatures
2004
In the present work we employ a direct extraction procedure to determine small signal equivalent circuit of microwave GaAs FETs by means of scattering (S-) parameter measurements down to cryogenic temperatures. The direct extraction procedure was tested on packaged AlGaAs/InGaAs HEMTs and good agreement between the simulated and measured S-parameters was obtained at different bias and temperature conditions. We employed a properly designed cryogenic set-up operating in our laboratory that allows to perform DC and RF characterization down to 30 K.
Ab initio calculations of indium arsenide in the wurtzite phase: structural, electronic and optical properties
2013
Most III-V semiconductors, which acquire the zinc-blende phase as bulk materials, adopt the metastable wurtzite phase when grown in the form of nanowires. These are new semiconductors with new optical properties, in particular, a different electronic band gap when compared with that grown in the zinc-blende phase. The electronic gap of wurtzite InAs at the Gamma-point of the Brillouin zone (E0 gap) has been recently measured, E0 = 0.46 eV at low temperature. The electronic gap at the A point of the Brillouin zone (equivalent to the L point in the zinc-blende structure, E1) has also been obtained recently based on a resonant Raman scattering experiment. In this work, we calculate the band st…
