Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reducing the size of a coherently grown semiconductor cluster in all three directions of space to a value below the de Broglie wavelength of a charge carrier leads to complete quantization of the energy levels, density of states, etc. Such “quantum dots” are more similar to giant atoms in a dielectric cage than to classical solids or semiconductors showing a dispersion of energy as a function of wavevector. Their electronic and optical properties depend strongly on their size and shape, i.e. on their geometry. By designing the geometry by controlling the growth of QDs, absolutely novel possibilities for material design leading to novel devices are opened. This multiauthor book written by world-wide recognized leaders of their particular fields and edited by the recipient of the Max-Born Award and Medal 2006 Professor Dieter Bimberg reports on the state of the art of the growing of quantum dots, the theory of self-organised growth, the theory of electronic and excitonic states, optical properties and transport in a variety of materials. It covers the subject from the early work beginning of the 1990s up to 2006. The topics addressed in the book are the focus of research in all leading semiconductor and optoelectronic device laboratories of the world.

This book was released on 2010 with total page 141 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: Over the past 15 years, nanowires (NWs) and nanotubes have drawn great attention since the application of VLS growth mechanism into the synthesis of one dimensional structures. Semiconductor nanowires exhibit novel electrical and optical properties. With a broad selection of composition and band structures, these one-dimensional semiconductor nanostructures are considered to be the critical components in a wide range of potential nanoscale device applications. To fully exploit these one-dimensional nanostructures, current research has focused on synthetic control of one-dimensional nanoscale building blocks, characterization of their novel properties, device fabrication based on nanowire building blocks, and integration of nanowire elements into complex functional architectures. Progress has been made in past two decades. However, there are still challenges in NWs growth controls, such as size, shape, position, stoichiometry and defects. Due to the dimensionality and possible quantum confinement effects of nanowires, there are also challenges in characterization and device fabrication. A systematic study of controlled growth of nanowires has been conducted in this dissertation. The first part of this dissertation presents various synthesis techniques of semiconductor nanowires via metal catalyzed vapor-liquid-solid (VLS) growth mechanism. Pulse laser deposition (PLD) with arsenic over pressure method has been successfully utilized for GaAs nanowires. Challenges such as uniformity issue commonly seen in MOCVD and MBE systems, morphology and stoichiometry issues commonly seen in conventional PLD systems have been overcome. Si nanowires fabrication via ultrahigh vacuum magnetron sputtering has reported for the first time, which also provides an alternate route for Si nanowires synthesis. The second part of this dissertation discusses optical properties of ensemble direct band gap nanowires. Photoluminescence spectra have been measured on an ensemble of random orientated InP nanowires. Polarization anisotropy has been explored on ensemble nanowires and oxide-coated nanowires. Our calculation for randomly oriented nanowires agrees well with experimental results. The control of polarization anisotropy of nanowires is realized by coating nanowires with an oxide layer composed of matching dielectric constant media. This opens a path to optical spin injection and detection on direct band gap nanowires.

This book was released on 2019 with total page 85 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Magnetoplasmonic nanostructures, as a branch of multifunctional materials, have recently attracted research interests due to the coexistence of magnetic and plasmonic properties.1-4 To accomplish the simultaneous control of both functionalities, appropriate design of the material construction is necessary. This study attempts to explore the magneto-optical properties of plasmonic semiconductor nanocrystals (NCs), specifically the behavior of the excitonic transition and its correlation with the magnetoplasmonic properties of NCs. Furthermore, considering the potential application for spintronic devices, one-dimensional nanowires (NWs) is one of the best platforms,as they have been widely exploited in optoelectronic and magnetoelectronic devices. Thus, the growth of plasmonic semiconductor nanowires is worthwhile to investigate. The influence of localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) on magneto-optical properties are investigated in doped zinc oxide (ZnO) semiconductor NCs. ZnO, as a sort of n-type transparent conductive oxide (TCO), is an earth-abundant semiconductor with a direct band gap of 3.37 eV. In this study, indium-doped ZnO (IZO) and aluminum-doped ZnO (AZO) NCs have been successfully synthesized across various doping concentrations and all samples exhibit LSPR in the near-to-mid infrared region. For IZO NCs, the most intense plasmon absorption band is achieved for the sample with a starting In doping concentration at 10 %. A reduction of plasmon peak intensity occurs with a further increase of starting dopants concentration. However, for AZO NCs, the plasmon band continues to increase up to 30 % starting Al/Zn atomic ratio due to poor doping efficiency. The apparent blue shift of the band gap for both IZO and AZO NCs have been observed due to the Burstein-Moss effect. In the magnetic circular dichroism (MCD) spectra, the splitting of the excitonic transition under the external magnetic field indicates the complete polarization of free carriers, which could be attributed to the phonon-mediated plasmon-exciton coupling. More importantly, the carrier polarization induced by plasmon-exciton coupling could be maintained at room temperature and low magnetic field (less than 1 T) showing great potential for its applications into new spintronic and optoelectronic devices. In addition, the optimal growth conditions of gallium phosphide (GaP) NWs by the chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method are discussed as the initial step towards the synthesis of plasmonic III-V NWs. The growth of GaP NWs is generally accompanied by the unintentional formation of thick oxide coating, which may compromise the optical and electrical properties of NWs. Controlling and eliminating the as-formed outer layer during thermal evaporation growth of GaP NWs represents a barrier to the simple and scalable preparation of this technologically important material. The second part of this study systematically investigated the role of different parameters (temperature, hydrogen flow rate, and starting P/Ga ratio) in the synthesis of GaP nanowires, and mapped out the conditions for the growth of oxide-layer-free nanowires. Increasing all three parameters leads to diminished oxide layer thickness and improved nanowire morphology. Long and straight nanowires with near perfect stoichiometry and the complete absence of oxide outer layer are obtained for 1050 ʻC, 100 sccm hydrogen flow rate, and P/Ga flux ratio of 2.

This book was released on 2008 with total page 841 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1969, Leo Esaki (1973 Nobel Laureate) and Ray Tsu from IBM, USA, proposed research on “man-made crystals” using a semiconductor superlattice (a semiconductor structure comprising several alternating ultra-thin layers of semiconductor materials with different properties). This invention was perhaps the first proposal to advocate the engineering of a new semiconductor material, and triggered a wide spectrum of experimental and theoretical investigations. However, the study of what are now called low dimensional structures (LDS) began in the late 1970's when sufficiently thin epitaxial layers were first produced following developments in the technology of epitaxial growth of semiconductors, mainly pioneered in industrial laboratories for device purposes. The LDS are materials structures whose dimensions are comparable with inter-atomic distances in solids (i.e. nanometre, nm). Their electronic properties are significantly different from the same material in bulk form. These properties are changed by quantum effects. At the inception of their investigation it was already clear that such structures were of great scientific interest and excitement and their novel properties caused by quantum effects offered potential for application in new devices. Moreover these complex LDS offer device engineers new design opportunities for tailor-made new generation electronic devices. The LDS could be considered as a new branch of condensed matter physics because of the large variety of possible structures and the changes in the physical processes. One of the promising fabrication methods to produce and study structures with a dimension less than two such as quantum wires and quantum dots, in order to realise novel devices that make use of low-dimensional confinement effects, is self-organisation. Self-assembled nanostructured materials offer a number of advantages over conventional material technologies in a wide-range of sectors. Clearly, future research work on self-assembled nanostructures will connect diverse areas of material science, physics, chemistry, electronics and optoelectronics. Key Features: - Contributors are world leaders in the field - Brings together all the factors which are essential in self-organisation of quantum nanostructures - Reviews the current status of research and development in self-organised nanostructured materials - Provides a ready source of information on a wide range of topics - Useful to any scientist who is involved in nanotechnology - Excellent starting point for workers entering the field - Serves as an excellent reference manual

This book was released on 2017 with total page 79 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Semiconductor nanomaterials have become an important class of materials with great potential for applications ranging from catalytic to electronic and optoelectronic devices. For next generation catalytic, optoelectronic, and photonic applications, the synthesis of high-qualify nanomaterials with uniform size, well-defined morphology, composition, and surface chemistry is of key importance, because the electrical, optical, and magnetic properties of these nanomaterials are strongly dependent on those parameters. Besides technical interests, access to defined nanoscale structures is also essential for uncovering their intrinsic properties unaffected by sample heterogeneity. Rigorous understanding of the properties of individual nanocrystals will enable us to exploit them, making it possible to better design and build novel electronic, magnetic, and photonic devices and other functional materials based on these nanostructures. This dissertation explores both direct synthetic methods and post transformation approaches for rational synthesis of new nanomaterial systems, which are potential candidates for applications in areas of photovoltaics, non-noble-metal plasmonics, light emitting diodes, etc. And their structural, optical, and electrical properties have been investigated in detail. Chapter 1 provides an introduction to the current progress and common strategies used in rational control of the size, shape, composition, and surface chemistry of nanomaterials. Chapter 2 examines the Cu+ cation-exchange mechanisms in CdS nanowires. A detailed transformation diagram of cation-exchange chemistry from CdS to Cu2-xS nanowires is reported. By varying the reaction time and the reactants' concentration ratio, the progression of the cation-exchange process was captured, and tunable crystal phases of the Cu2-xS are achieved. The overall process occurs in three stages: formation of discontinuous Cu2-xS islands, formation of core-shell CdS-Cu2-xS heterostructures, and complete conversion to Cu2-xS nanowires with controllable crystal phases. Detailed structural characterization reveal that the resultant Cu2-xS phases become more stoichiometric with increasing reaction time and copper precursor concentration. This experimental result suggests a kinetically controlled process limited by diffusion. In Chapter 3, a catalyst-free, solution-phase approach has been developed to obtain single crystalline, orthorhombic CsPbX3 NWs with uniform growth direction. The morphological evolution of the CsPbBr3 nanostructures along the reaction has been investigated, and the reaction protocol has been optimized to achieve a high yield of monodispersed nanowires likely due to a soft template mechanism. The direct synthesized CsPbI3 NWs show a room-temperature stable double-chain phase, with weak photoluminescence mainly from the trap states. Anion-exchange reaction by using the monodispersed CsPbBr3 NWs as templates can retain the favorable corner-sharing orthorhombic phase, and independently control the NW compositions, thus access to a wide range of compositions with bright and tunable photoluminescence spanning over nearly the entire visible spectrum. Meanwhile, surface treatment with the original precursors was performed to effectively passivate the surface states, and improve the quantum yield to over 10 times. In Chapter 4, a stepwise purification method has been developed to purify the ultrathin CsPbX3 NWs with a uniform diameter of 2.2±0.2 nm. The structural and optical properties have been discussed. Aberration-corrected high-resolution TEM shows the NWs are single crystalline, absorption and fluorescence spectrum shows that those NWs possess strong two-dimensional quantum confinement effects along with bright emission. The band gap of these ultrathin NWs can be tuned by anion-exchange reaction.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a comprehensive overview of the state-of-the-art in the development of semiconductor nanostructures and nanophotonic devices. It covers epitaxial growth processes for GaAs- and GaN-based quantum dots and quantum wells, describes the fundamental optical, electronic, and vibronic properties of nanomaterials, and addresses the design and realization of various nanophotonic devices. These include energy-efficient and high-speed vertical cavity surface emitting lasers (VCSELs) and ultra-small metal-cavity nano-lasers for applications in multi-terabus systems; silicon photonic I/O engines based on the hybrid integration of VCSELs for highly efficient chip-to-chip communication; electrically driven quantum key systems based on q-bit and entangled photon emitters and their implementation in real information networks; and AlGaN-based deep UV laser diodes for applications in medical diagnostics, gas sensing, spectroscopy, and 3D printing. The experimental results are accompanied by reviews of theoretical models that describe nanophotonic devices and their base materials. The book details how optical transitions in the active materials, such as semiconductor quantum dots and quantum wells, can be described using a quantum approach to the dynamics of solid-state electrons under quantum confinement and their interaction with phonons, as well as their external pumping by electrical currents. With its broad and detailed scope, this book is indeed a cutting-edge resource for researchers, engineers and graduate-level students in the area of semiconductor materials, optoelectronic devices and photonic systems.
