Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past decade, potential device applications have fueled an extensive effort to fabricate lateral arrays of quantum dots (QDs) with specific dot densities, spacings and size distributions. An essential element for the further development of QD devices with new functionalities is the introduction of controllable quantum coupling between two or more QDs in such an array. Tunable quantum coupling between vertically stacked InAs QDs has been demonstrated, with the coupling mediated by coherent tunneling and tunable with a static electric field. While these studies have revealed that the spatial arrangement of QDs can lead to remarkable effects, it will be impossible to scale vertical coupling to a large number of QDs. Investigations of lateral quantum coupling have been slower to develop, however, because special growth protocols are required and the ability to independently tune the luminescence energy of separate QDs is lost. Spectroscopy of single pairs of laterally separated QDs is required to resolve the signatures of quantum coupling from inhomogeneously broadened ensemble spectra. Laterally-coupled quantum dots require modified sample preparation methods to isolate single pairs of QDs and apply electric fields that tune the relative energies of the two dots. The electric field must be applied along the surface of the sample, perpendicular to the growth direction. To apply this lateral field, we use interdigitated electrodes patterned onto the sample surface with photolithography and metal deposition. Electrical connections are made to each of the interdigitated top contacts as well as to an ohmic back contact. This three-terminal arrangement makes it possible to independently control both the relative energies of the dots and the charging of the QDs. We present photoluminescence spectra of laterally coupled QDs whose coupling and charge states are tuned with this three-terminal arrangement. We further discuss the implications and opportunities for control of quantum coupling in laterally-scalable architectures.

This book was released on 2017-08-04 with total page 77 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the effects of growth pause or ripening time on the properties of quantum dots(QDs). It covers the effects of post-growth rapid thermal annealing (RTA) treatment on properties of single layer QDs. The effects of post-growth rapid thermal annealing (RTA) treatment on properties of single layer QDs are discussed. The book offers insight into InAs/GaAs bilayer QD heterostructures with very thin spacer layers and discusses minimum spacer thickness required to grow electronically coupled bilayer QD heterostructures. These techniques make bilayer QD heterostructures a better choice over the single layer and uncoupled multilayer QD heterostructure. Finally, the book discusses sub-monolayer (SML) growth technique to grow QDs. This recent technique has been proven to improve the device performance significantly. The contents of this monograph will prove useful to researchers and professionals alike.

This book was released on 2018-12-27 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Developments in optical spectroscopy have taken new directions in recent decades, with the focus shifting from understanding small gas phase molecules towards applications in materials and biological systems. This is due to significant interest in these topics, which has been facilitated by significant technological developments.Absorption, luminescence and excited state energy transfer properties have become of crucial importance on a large scale in materials related to light-harvesting in organic and inorganic third generation solar cells, for solar water splitting, and in light emitting diodes, TV screens and many other applications. In addition, Förster resonance energy transfer can be used as a ruler for the characterisation of the structure and dynamics of DNA, proteins and other biomolecules via labelling with fluorescing markers.This advanced textbook covers a range of these applications as well as the basics of absorption, emission and energy transfer of molecular systems in the condensed phase, in addition to the corresponding behaviour of metal nanoparticles and semiconductor quantum dots. Technical experimental requirements, aspects to avoid interfering perturbations and methods of quantitative data analysis make this book accessible and ideal for students and researchers in physical chemistry, biophysics and nanomaterials.

Download or read book Exploring Single Hole States in InAs GaAs Quantum Dots and Quantum Dot Molecules Under 2 D Electric Fields written by Xiangyu Ma and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: InAs/GaAs quantum dots (QDs) and quantum dot molecules (QDMs) are self-assembled semiconductor nanostructures that can trap a single electron or hole in a 3-D potential-well. Grown by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE), they have excellent optical qualities that can be used in applications for quantum information processing and quantum computing. Specifically, hole spins in a single QD/QDM have longer decoherence time than electron spins due to the lack of hyperfine interaction, making hole spins a great qubit candidate. However, many challenges such as QD growth, device integration, and spin manipulation inhibit the scalability of a hole-spin-based quantum information platform. A deeper understanding of the hole spin physics and the QD/QDM material system is needed to advance device engineering opportunities.

This book was released on 2004 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since their inception, semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) have attracted much attention due to properties which are analogous with individual atoms. In addition to classical applications, novel applications have been identified which exploit the strong confinement of both electrons and holes in self-assembled QDs. This artificial atom analogy can be extended to artificial molecules by coupling two neighboring quantum dots. This single quantum system has been proposed for entangled photon pair emission and two bit or quantum bit gate operations. This thesis focuses on self-assembled InAs/GaAs QD molecules, which have good optical quality and tunable electronic and optical properties.

This book was released on 2006 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A quantum dot molecule-based Terahertz emitter allows the engineering of intraband transitions and leads to reduced absorption losses. A background of the growth mechanisms for the dots, the background and application of quantum dot molecules (QDMs), optical and structural characterization methods employed in quantum dot research, and the theoretical advantages of III-V quantum dots are discussed in this thesis. A study of the structural and optical properties of In 0.3 Ga 0.7 As/GaAs QDMs formed by two layers of self-assembled, vertically stacked quantum dots is presented. Structural parameters, as determined from transmission electron microscopy studies were used to calculate the strain. The calculated strain field was subsequently used to determine the electronic bandstructure. The theoretically calculated electronic bandstructures were found to be in good agreement with those experimentally measured by using the time integrated photoluminescence technique. In order to understand the QDM properties excitation and temperature dependent photoluminescence studies were conducted.
