Simulation of Semiconductor Nanostructures
We employ density functional and quantum Monte Carlo calculations to show that significant changes occur in the optical gap of fully hydrogenated nanoclusters when the surface contains impurity passivants such as atomic oxygen. Our results show that quantum confinement is only one mechanism responsible for visible photoluminescence in silicon nanoclusters and that the specific surface chemistry...
متن کاملParticle Monte Carlo simulation of quantum phenomena in semiconductor nanostructures
Quantum effects in semiconductor devices are usually described in terms of wave functions obtained from the solution of the Schrödinger equation. However, it is difficult to simulate practical devices where clear semiclassical and quantum features coexist, as is the case for nanoscale devices at normal temperatures. We present here a particle description of quantum phenomena derived starting fr...
متن کاملImaging Impurities in Semiconductor Nanostructures
Atomic impurities are critical for many technologies. They are used to engineer the optical and electronic properties of semiconductors for applications such as transistors, solar cells, lightemitting diodes (LEDs), and lasers, as well as to store energy for applications such as batteries and electrochemical cells. While the characterization and understanding of impurities in bulk semiconductor...
متن کاملCharge Detection in Semiconductor Nanostructures
In this thesis nanometer scale charge sensors are used to study charge transport in two solid state systems: Lateral GaAs quantum dots and hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H). In both of these experiments we use time-resolved charge sensing to study electron transport in regimes that are not accessible to traditional transport measurements. For the lateral GaAs quantum dot experiments, we u...
متن کاملBound polarons in semiconductor nanostructures
Bound polarons are discrete, confined electronic states, spatially localized due to a local potential V(r) but sharing a common phonon state of the surrounding crystal. We study the energy states of polarons bound in a potential and determine the local optical absorption spectrum up to first-order time-dependent perturbation theory with respect to the electron-photon interaction. The model is a...
