Lattice-Matched InGaAs–InAlAs Core–Shell Nanowires with Improved Luminescence and Photoresponse Properties

Core-shell nanowires (NW) have become very prominent systems for band engineered NW heterostructures that effectively suppress detrimental surface states and improve performance of related devices. This concept is particularly attractive for material systems with high intrinsic surface state densities, such as the low-bandgap In-containing group-III arsenides, however selection of inappropriate...

طراحی و شبیه‌سازی سلول خورشیدی سه‌پیوندی بر مبنای چاه کوانتومی

In this paper, the purpose is to improve the efficiency of triple-junction solar cell by introducing quantum well into GaAs junction. Firstly, InGaP/GaAs/InGaAs triple-junctions solar cell has been simulated. Then, a multiple stepped quantum wells (MSQWs), in which InGaAs well is sandwiched by InGaAsP as stepped layer, and the barrier is GaAs, has been introduced into intrinsic region of single...

Photoluminescence Study of the Interface Fluctuation Effect for InGaAs/InAlAs/InP Single Quantum Well with Different Thickness

Photoluminescence (PL) is investigated as a function of the excitation intensity and temperature for lattice-matched InGaAs/InAlAs quantum well (QW) structures with well thicknesses of 7 and 15 nm, respectively. At low temperature, interface fluctuations result in the 7-nm QW PL exhibiting a blueshift of 15 meV, a narrowing of the linewidth (full width at half maximum, FWHM) from 20.3 to 10 meV...
