GaN/AlxGa1-xN quantum wells (QWs) are grown by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) on c-plane sapphire substrates. Both the Al composition and the well thickness are determined in situ from reflection high-energy electron diffraction intensity oscillations. It is ...
A study of the elastic exciton-exciton Coulomb scattering in a semiconductor quantum well is presented, including the interexciton exchange of carriers and the spin degrees of freedom. The theoretical results show that electron-electron and hole-hole excha ...
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 ...
We report on microscopic photoluminescence and photoluminescence excitation of thin Al0.3Ga0.7As/GaAs quantum wells grown on exactly oriented (001) GaAs substrates. The experiments are done at low temperature by selectively exciting a few mu m(2) of the sa ...
Evidence of tunneling and electronic coupling in a one-dimensional system is reported. This is accomplished by comparing low-temperature photoluminescence and photoluminescence excitation spectra of GaAs double quantum wires of different barrier widths wit ...
We investigate the exciton formation process from free carriers in a single GaAs quantum well. We focus on the formation processes assisted by emission and absorption of acoustic and optical phonons. The formation rates are evaluated and compared to the ex ...
A method is presented to measure both the barriers for intra-and interlayer diffusion for an epitaxial system with great accuracy. It is based upon the application of mean-field nucleation theory to variable temperature STM data. The validity and limits of ...
We show that the two-dimensional quantum confined Stark effect in a semiconductor quantum wire can display novel behaviour, i.e. wave function splitting and cascading. No analog to these phenomena can be found in bulk material or quantum wells. The consequ ...
Thermally detected optical absorption measurements have been performed at liquid helium temperature in order to study the effects of In segregation on the optical properties of InxGa1-xAs/GaAs quantum wells grown by molecular-beam epitaxy under various gro ...
This thesis deals with the monolithic integration of long wavelength (1.3-1.55 µm) p-i-n photodiodes with HEMT field effect transistors for the realization of wide bandwidth OEIC receivers for lightwave communication systems. Part of this work was carried ...
