This book was released on 2013-10-01 with total page 163 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today’s semiconductor memory market is divided between two types of memory: DRAM and Flash. Each has its own advantages and disadvantages. While DRAM is fast but volatile, Flash is non-volatile but slow. A memory system based on self-organized quantum dots (QDs) as storage node could combine the advantages of modern DRAM and Flash, thus merging the latter’s non-volatility with very fast write times. This thesis investigates the electronic properties of and carrier dynamics in self-organized quantum dots by means of time-resolved capacitance spectroscopy and time-resolved current measurements. The first aim is to study the localization energy of various QD systems in order to assess the potential of increasing the storage time in QDs to non-volatility. Surprisingly, it is found that the major impact of carrier capture cross-sections of QDs is to influence, and at times counterbalance, carrier storage in addition to the localization energy. The second aim is to study the coupling between a layer of self-organized QDs and a two-dimensional hole gas (2DHG), which is relevant for the read-out process in memory systems. The investigation yields the discovery of the many-particle ground states in the QD ensemble. In addition to its technological relevance, the thesis also offers new insights into the fascinating field of nanostructure physics.

This book was released on 2010-03-25 with total page 137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inhaltsangabe:Abstract: Chapter 1: In this thesis we investigate the optical properties of self-assembled quantum dots exposed to a lateral electric field. As a result of the electric field the wave functions of electrons and holes inside the quantum dot are manipulated, which makes it possible to tune their energy levels and control the optical properties of the system. The possibility of tuning the emission energy of different few particle states using this method makes this system very promising for the use of a source of polarization entangled photons as discussed in the following sections. In Section 1.1 the concept of entangled states is introduced together with a brief historical overview. The possibility of using the exciton biexciton cascade of a self-assembled quantum dot for the generation of entangled photon pairs is presented in Section 1.2. Chapter 2: In this chapter we introduce the concept of quantum dots and demonstrate their optical emission properties. In Section 2.1 the quantum dot is introduced as a three-dimensional charge carrier trap. Several types of quantum dots are presented in an overview. In Section 2.2 we discuss the physical effects that occur on the way from bulk semiconductor material to the three-dimensional charge carrier confinement in the case of quantum dots. The growth of self-assembled quantum dot samples is the topic of Section 2.3, where the technique of molecular beam epitaxy is introduced (Section 2.3.1). This technique is used to grow the semiconductor quantum dots via heteroepitaxy in the Stranski-Krastanov growth mode (Section 2.3.2). Quantum dots are commonly referred to as artificial atoms due to their atomlike emission features. The origin for this expression is explained in Section 2.4 on the basis of the energetic structure of self-assembled quantum dots. The optical properties of quantum dots are discussed in Section 2.5, beginning with an introduction to the experimental setup that has been used to investigate the quantum dots during this thesis (Section 2.5.1). Different optical excitation modes are presented in Section 2.5.2 and in Section 2.5.3 we discuss, how to achieve a low enough quantum dot density on the analyzed samples. Section 2.5.4 deals with the photoluminescence of different exciton states and in Section 2.5.5 we present how these lines can be identified via power dependent measurements. Finally, the concept of initial charges in self-assembled quantum dots is presented in [...]

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We present an overview of the theoretical background and experimental re sults in the rapidly developing field of semiconductor quantum dots - systems 8 6 of dimensions as small as 10- -10- m (quasi-zero-dimensional) that contain a small and controllable number (1-1000) of electrons. The electronic structure of quantum dots, including the energy quan tization of the single-particle states (due to spatial confinement) and the evolution of these (Fock-Darwin) states in an increasing external magnetic field, is described. The properties of many-electron systems confined in a dot are also studied. This includes the separation of the center-of-mass mo tion for the parabolic confining potential (and hence the insensitivity of the transitions under far infrared radiation to the Coulomb interactions and the number of particles - the generalized Kohn theorem) and the effects due to Coulomb interactions (formation of the incompressible magic states at high magnetic fields and their relation to composite jermions), and finally the spin-orbit interactions. In addition, the excitonic properties of quantum dots are discussed, including the energy levels and the spectral function of a single exciton, the relaxation of confined carriers, the metastable states and their effect on the photoluminescence spectrum, the interaction of an exciton with carriers, and exciton condensation. The theoretical part of this work, which is based largely on original re sults obtained by the authors, has been supplemented with descriptions of various methods of creating quantum-dot structures.

Download or read book Semiconductor Quantum Dots written by Ladislaus B nyai and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 1993 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Semiconductor Quantum Dots presents an overview of the background and recent developments in the rapidly growing field of ultrasmall semiconductor microcrystallites, in which the carrier confinement is sufficiently strong to allow only quantized states of the electrons and holes. The main emphasis of this book is the theoretical analysis of the confinement induced modifications of the optical and electronic properties of quantum dots in comparison with extended materials. The book develops the theoretical background material for the analysis of carrier quantum-confinement effects, introduces the different confinement regimes for relative or center-of-mass motion quantization of the electron-hole-pairs, and gives an overview of the best approximation schemes for each regime. A detailed discussion of the carrier states in quantum dots is presented and surface polarization instabilities are analyzed, leading to the self-trapping of carriers near the surface of the dots. The influence of spin-orbit coupling on the quantum-confined carrier states is discussed. The linear and nonlinear optical properties of small and large quantum dots are studied in detail and the influence of the quantum-dot size distribution in many realistic samples is outlined. Phonons in quantum dots as well as the influence of external electric or magnetic fields are also discussed. Last but not least the recent developments dealing with regular systems of quantum dots are also reviewed. All things included, this is an important piece of work on semiconductor quantum dots not to be dismissed by serious researchers and physicists.
