Spatially resolved ballistic optoelectronic transport measured by quantized photocurrent spectroscopy.

چکیده
GaAs-based quantum point contacts (QPCs) are exploited to spatially resolve and analyze the ballistic, nonequilibrium flow of photogenerated electrons in a nanoscale circuit. Electron-hole pairs are photogenerated in a two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG), and the resulting current through an adjacent QPC is measured as a function of the laser spot position. The transmission of photogenerated electrons through the QPC is governed by the energy dispersion and the quantized momentum values of the electron modes in the QPC.

متن کاملZener tunneling and photocurrent generation in quasi-metallic carbon nanotube pn-devices.
We investigate the electronic and optoelectronic properties of quasi-metallic nanotube pn-devices, which have smaller band gaps than most known bulk semiconductors. These carbon nanotube-based devices deviate from conventional bulk semiconductor device behavior due to their low-dimensional nature. We observe rectifying behavior based on Zener tunneling of ballistic carriers instead of ideal dio...
