Room temperature direct-bandgap electroluminescence from n-type strain-compensated Ge/SiGe multiple quantum wells
GaN nanowire (NW) arrays have been fabricated by the electrodeless photoelectrochemical (PEC) etching method for the first time. Under appropriate conditions, the etching process is just a dislocation-hunted process, in which the etching solution "digs down'' along the threading dislocations, resulting in the formation of GaN NWs by preferentially ...
A 1.1 mu m high-power quantum dot superluminescent diode has been fabricated by using a two-section device structure which consists of a superluminescent section and an optical amplifier section. The device exhibits 380 mW output power with 50 nm bandwidth or 260 mW output power with 66 nm bandwidth.
A broadband tunable grating-coupled external cavity laser is realized by employing a self-assembled InAs/GaAs quantum-dot (QD) superluminescent diode (SLD) as the gain device. The SLD device is processed with a bent-waveguide structure and facet antireflection (AR) coating. Tuning bandwidths of 106 nm and 117 nm are achieved under 3-A and 3.5-A inj...
An interesting phonon mode at around 685-705 cm(-1) was clearly observed in the Raman spectra of InGaN/GaN multiple-quantum-wells nanopillars with different diameters at room temperature. The Raman peak position of this mode is found to show a distinct dependence on the nanopillar size, which is in well agreement with theoretical calculation of the...
High-quality spherical silver (Ag) nanocrystals have been synthesized by using a one-pot approach, in which pre-synthesis of organometallic precursors is not required. This reaction involves the thermolysis of a mixed solution of silver acetate and n-dodecanethiol in a non-coordinating organic solvent. The size of the as-obtained Ag nanospheres can...
Low resistance and thermally stable n-type contacts to N-polar GaN are essentially important for vertical light emitting diodes(VLEDs). The electrical characteristics of VLEDs with n-type contacts on a roughened and flat N-polar surface have been compared. VLEDs with contacts deposited on a roughened surface exhibit lower leakage currents yet a hig...
