The emission properties of self-assembled InAs quantum dots (QDs) and lattice-matched GaInNAs quantum wells (QWs) emitting around 1.3 mum were investigated by temperature-dependent and time-resolved photoluminescence (PL). The QDs have much higher PL effic ...
The continued drive for increased efficiency, performance and reduced costs for aircraft and industrial gas turbines demands extended use of high temperature materials, such as single crystal nickel based superalloys. The cost for hot section components us ...
We report the observation of confined modes in the mixed photon/exciton-like branches of exciton-polaritons propagating along the growth axis of a 700 nm-thick GaN film, deposited by Molecular Beam Epitaxy on bulk GaN substrates. The energies of the confin ...
GaInN/GaN heterostructures have been grown by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) on c-plane sapphire substrates. The growth of Ga1-xInxN (x > 12%) alloy has been extensively studied. At low V/III ratio, the growth undergoes a Stranski-Krastanov transition giving ...
Photoluminescence excitation (PLE) spectroscopy was carried out to investigate the excitation/emission cycle of MBE grown InGaN quantum structures. Quantum well and Stranski-Krastanov type quantum box samples were chosen that emit from blue to red. The ban ...
Rotation anisotropy by second harmonic generation (SHG) is carried out on epitaxial Hg1−xCdxTe (MCT) and oxide- and sulphide-covered MCT surfaces and shows the fourfold symmetry pattern expected from the {100} surface (C4v symmetry). The uneven nature of t ...
Microcavity light-emitting diodes (MCLEDs) with top-emitting geometry have been grown by molecular beam epitaxy on GaAs and Si substrates. External quantum efficiencies of up to 10% were obtained for 420 x 420 mu m(2) homoepitaxial devices. The efficiency ...
We present here measurements on hexagonal cavities that have areas between 2.0 and 8.6 mu m/sup 2/. The 2D triangular lattice PBG mirrors are etched into a GaAs/AlGaAs waveguide heterostructure with 3 layers of InAs quantum dots at the centre of a 240 nm t ...
Lattice-matched ZnSe/InxGa1-xAs heterostructures were fabricated by molecular beam epitaxy on GaAs(001)2x4 surfaces. We find that the partial character of the strain relaxation within the ternary layer can be compensated by a suitable excess in the In conc ...
Chemical beam epitaxy (CBE) grown InAsP/InGaAsP edge-emitting laser diodes on GaAs substrates obtained by localised fusion in a nitrogen environment exhibit high quality fused interfaces. A degradation of fused lasers is observed which is attributed to the ...
