LO-phonon overheating in quantum dots
Longitudinal optical phonons have been used to interpret the electronic energy relaxation in quantum dots and at the same time they served as a reservoir, with which the electronic subsystem is in contact. Such a phonon subsystem is expected to be passive, namely, in a long-time limit the whole system should be able to achieve such a stationary state, in which statistical distributions of both ...
متن کاملSiGe heterostructures for FET applications
The high room-temperature carrier mobilities which have recently been observed for both electrons and holes in Si/SiGe heterostructures and the possibility of further improvements offer the prospect of silicon-based field effect transistors (FETs) with performances matching those of bipolar transistors and III–V modulation-doped FETs. In this article the electrical properties of this semiconduc...
متن کاملDislocations in Relaxed SiGe/Si Heterostructures
Recent advances in the understanding and control of threading dislocations in substantially relaxed SiGe buffer layers on Si are presented. A model for threading dislocation flow in relaxed graded SiGe buffers is used to determine the potential lower limit of threading dislocation density in relaxed SiGe buffers. Greater densities than expected from the model are seen in relaxed graded alloys w...
متن کاملElectron-phonon Interactions in Intersubband Laser Heterostructures
We present a simple semianalytical model, which allows comprehensive analysis of the LO-phonon assisted electron relaxation in quantum well intersubband semiconductor lasers. Examples of scattering rate tailoring in type-I double quantum well heterostructures and analysis of the subband depopulation process in type-II heterostructures illustrate applicability of the model.
متن کاملStrain-Controlled Valley Splitting in Si-SiGe Heterostructures
A splitting between equivalent valleys larger than the spin splitting was recently reported in a gate confined electron system in thin Si films grown on SiGe substrate [1]. This degeneracy lifting reduces scattering and improves the coherence time. The valley splitting larger than the spin splitting opens a way to build spin qubits, which makes silicon-based quantum devices promising for future...
