Momentum-Space Imaging of Ultra-Thin Electron Liquids in δ-Doped Silicon

Gabriel Aeppli, Nicolò D'Anna

Two-dimensional dopant layers (δ-layers) in semiconductors provide the high-mobility electron liquids (2DELs) needed for nanoscale quantum-electronic devices. Key parameters such as carrier densities, effective masses, and confinement thicknesses for 2DELs ...

Electronic Structure of InAs and InSb Surfaces: Density Functional Theory and Angle-Resolved Photoemission Spectroscopy

Gabriel Aeppli, Vladimir N. Strocov

The electronic structure of surfaces plays a key role in the properties of quantum devices. However, surfaces are also the most challenging to simulate and engineer. Here, the electronic structure of InAs(001), InAs(111), and InSb(110) surfaces is studied ...

Simultaneous Selective Area Growth of Wurtzite and Zincblende Self-Catalyzed GaAs Nanowires on Silicon

Anna Fontcuberta i Morral, Lucas Güniat, Valerio Piazza, Wonjong Kim, Vladimir Dubrovskii

Selective area epitaxy constitutes a mainstream method to obtain reproducible nanomaterials. As a counterpart, self-assembly allows their growth without costly substrate preparation, with the drawback of uncontrolled positioning. We propose a mixed approac ...

Fabrication of Single-Crystalline InSb-on-Insulator by Rapid Melt Growth

Anna Fontcuberta i Morral, Nicholas Paul Morgan, Heera Menon

InSb has the smallest bandgap and highest electron mobility among III-V semiconductors and is widely used for photodetectors and high-frequency electronic applications. Integration of InSb directly on Si would drastically reduce the fabrication cost and en ...

Differential Response of the Photoluminescence and Photocurrent of Polycrystalline CH(3)NH(3)PbI(3 )and CH3NH3PbBr3 to the Exposure to Oxygen and Nitrogen

László Forró, Endre Horvath, Andrzej Sienkiewicz, Márton Kollár, Anastasiia Glushkova, Konstantins Mantulnikovs

Because of their excellent photoelectric properties, organic-inorganic metal halide perovskites (MHPs), such as methylammonium lead triiodide, CH3NH3PbI3 (MAPbI(3)), and methylammonium lead tribromide, CH3NH3PbBr3 (MAPbBr(3)), are of great interest for the ...

Impact of Strain and Alloy Disorder on the Electronic Properties of III-Nitride Based Two-dimensional Electron Gases

Pirouz Sohi

Over the past 20 years, III-nitrides (GaN, AlN, InN and their alloys) have proven to be an excellent material group for electronic devices, in particular, for high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs) operating at high frequency and high power. This is ma ...

Paths for maximal light incoupling and excellent electrical performances in silicon heterojunction solar cells

Christophe Ballif, Bertrand Yves Paul Paviet-Salomon, Laurie-Lou Senaud, Matthieu Despeisse, Mathieu Gérard Boccard, Monica Morales Masis, Jan Haschke, Luca Massimiliano Antognini, Jean Cattin, Oscar Esteban Rucavado Leandro, Raphaël Monnard, Julie Amandine Dreon, Vincent Philippe Paratte, Olivier Denis Dupré, Angela Nicole Fioretti, Sihua Zhong

We discuss here optical losses in silicon heterojunction solar cells and strategies to minimize them. Optical losses originate from most non-crystalline-silicon layers involved in the solar cell. A breakdown for typical values is shown evidencing that supp ...

A comprehensive study of neural retina stimulation towards better visual prosthesis resolution

Diego Ghezzi, Marta Jole Ildelfonsa Airaghi Leccardi, Laura Ferlauto, Naïg Aurelia Ludmilla Chenais

A major obstacle to make retinal prostheses a realistic technology to restore a functional form of vision allowing normal mobility is the low resolution achieved by current devices. Aims. Using photovoltaic pixels based on organic materials, we aimed at bu ...
