Bandstructure Engineering of Indium Arsenide Quantum Dots in Gallium Arsenide Antimonide Barriers for Photovoltaic Applications

Category : Indium arsenide

Book Description
Increasing the efficiency of solar cell technology is one of the current research aims being under taken in order to help supply growing global energy demands. The research presented in this thesis contributes to the current materials hunt for suitable candidates for an Intermediate Band Solar Cell (IBSC). A background on other "third generation" photovoltaic concepts along with details about the IBSC concept is also presented. The research presented in this thesis contains theoretical and experimental work on a quantum dot (QD) nanostructure. The structure contains a GaAs substrate, followed by a 10 nm GaAs 1-x Sb x barrier, a single layer of InAs QDs, followed by another 10 nm GaAs 1-x Sb x barrier and then capped by a thick GaAs layer. Theoretical calculations that accounted for strain were performed for a range of Sb compositions (x=0.04, 0.12, 0.14, 0.18, 0.22, 0.26, 0.30), for a QD of modeled size of 40 nm x 40 nm x 5 nm (WxLxH) at 4.4 K. Three samples containing the above structure were also studied by time integrated- and time resolved-photoluminescence. The samples had a 12% Sb concentration, but varied by their GaAs 1-x Sb x barrier thicknesses. Sample A had symmetric Sb barriers of 20 nm for the bottom and 20 nm for the top. Sample B had symmetric barriers of 10 nm for the bottom and 10 nm for the top, while sample C had asymmetric barriers of 30 nm for the bottom and 10 nm for the top. The samples were studied for temperature dependence for the range of 4.4 K to 300 K, and for excitation dependence from ~3 W/cm 2 -225 W/cm 2.

Growth of Highly Ordered Indium Arsenide/gallium Arsenide and Indium Gallium Arsenide/gallium Arsenide Quantum Dots on Nano-patterned Substrates by MBE.

Book Description
Iron-catalyzed free radical generation has been proposed to contribute to oxidative stress and toxicity upon exposure to ambient particulate and amphibole asbestos fibers. Simple acellular assays were validated and used to show that toxicologically significant amounts of iron can be mobilized from a diverse set of commercial nanotube samples in the presence of ascorbate and the chelating agent ferrozine. The redox activity was examined by plasmid DNA breakage. Techniques were applied to avoid or remove this bioavailable metal. Potentially responsible mechanisms and optimized acid treatment protocols for free metal in "purified" samples are discussed.

Solution Growth of Gallium Arsenide

ISBN:
Category : Gallium arsenide
Languages : en
Pages : 246
Book Description
The theory and experimental procedure for growth of epitaxial layers of GaAs by the solution regrowth method is described. Both GaAs of low carrier concentration with high mobility and intentionally doped GaAs layers, suitable for application to Gunn effect devices, can be grown by this process. Several methods for the evaluation of the thickness, doping profiles and mobility of the GaAs layers are discussed. The limitations of these methods are also presented. Several working Gunn devices were fabricated either with solution grown contacts on commercially made epitaxial active layers or with solution grown active layers. (Author).
