    We study the spectral diffusion in a single epitaxial InAs quantum dot placed in a silver-embedded nanocone structure. Making use of a series of stroboscopic detection of optical transitions, we demonstrate the temporal fluctuations in peak energy of photoluminescence. In particular, the photoluminescence fluctuations can be effectively suppressed by strong illumination. By analyzing the photon statistics, we find that the dot emission exhibits stable non-classical nature with the strong anti-bunching behavior after this stabilization.

    We study stable and efficient coupling of single photons generated from a quantum dot (QD) into a single-mode fiber (SMF) prepared in a fiber couple module (FCM). We propose a method to focus the objective lens to a sample surface without imaging with the help of laser reflection. By assembling all the constituents, i.e., a pair of lenses, the SMF, and the optical alignment to the QD source, we demonstrate stable single-photon count rate and a high collection efficiency of 43.5% of the photons emitted in air from the QD into the collection lens in the FCM.

    Highly pure and stable single photon source is established. Well-prepared pillar array which involve InAs QDs is directly contacted to a fiber end-surface, and cooled in a liquid He bath. Auto-correlation measurement shows that it works as a highly pure single photon source providing g((2))(0) <0.1 not only in the weak excitation case but also in the moderately strong excitation one. This photon source is quite rigid against the external disturbance such as cooling-heating cycle and vibration, with a long term stability. Such a pure and stable single photon source is quite promising to build up fiber-based quantum information technology to the actual stage.

    We numerically and theoretically investigate electrodynamics of a metal-embedded semiconductor microdisk cavity. The electrodynamics of a cavity mode is discussed from the viewpoint of quantum mechanics, which clarifies the condition for high Q factor. Using numerical calculations, we optimize the cavity structure and show that the Q factor can be increased up to 1,700,000. Our study suggests that the metal-embedded cavity is a promising candidate for cavity quantum electrodynamics (QED) devices. (C) 2015 Optical Society of America

    We report the experimental demonstration of the single-photon interference of bidirectionally extracted photons from epitaxially grown semiconductor quantum dots. The quantum dots were directly connected to single-mode optical fibers. Single-photon nature between transmission and reflection directions was confirmed through detection of antibunching in second-order photon correlation measurements. A Mach-Zehnder interferometer that was naturally formed by introducing the two outputs into a 2 x 2-fiber coupler was used to perform first-order photon correlation measurements.

    Cooper pairs form spin singlet states and are regarded as entangled electron pairs. Extracting entangled electrons has been actively studied by the use of superconductor-normal metal junctions. We have proposed to convert Cooper pairs to entangled photon pairs via interband radiative recombination of Cooper pairs penetrated into a semiconductor by the proximity effect. We fabricated a superconducting (SC) light emitting diode, where a superconductor is used for the n-type electrode. We observed light output enhancement and recombination lifetime shortening below the SC critical temperature. Our observations were very well explained with an analysis based on a time-dependent perturbation theory of the radiative recombination. Superconductivity was included via the Bogoliubov transformation. We present our measurements on the Cooper-pair-enhanced luminescence from InAs quantum dots. We demonstrate the observation of sharp edge in the luminescence spectra that reflects the SC density of states.

    Metallic cavities have been extensively studied to realize small-volume nanocavities and nanolasers. However cavity-resonance quality (Q) factors of nanolasers observed up to now remain low (up to similar to 500) due to metal optical absorption. In this paper, we report the observation of highest Q factors of 9000 at low temperature and similar to 6000 near room temperature in a metallic cavity with a probe of sub-bandgap emission of Si-doped GaAs. We analyze the temperature dependence of cavity-mode resonance wavelengths and show that the refractive-index term dominates the measured temperature dependence. We also show that this refractive-index term is cavity-mode dependent and the fitting procedure offers a new method to identify cavity modes. We simulate the metallic cavity with finite-element method and attribute the high-Q cavity mode to a whispering gallery optical mode. This mode is shown to have isotropic polarization dependence of the output emission, which is preferable for quantum information applications.

    We studied InAs quantum dots (QDs) where electron Cooper pairs penetrate from an adjacent niobium (Nb) superconductor with the proximity effect. With time-resolved luminescence measurements at the wavelength around 1550 nm, we observed luminescence enhancement and reduction of luminescence decay time constants at temperature below the superconducting critical temperature (T C) of Nb. On the basis of these measurements, we propose a method to determine the contribution of Cooper-pair recombination in InAs QDs. We show that the luminescence enhancement measured below T C is well explained with our theory including Cooper-pair recombination.

    We demonstrate the generation of a Werner-like state from a single semiconductor quantum dot. The tomographic analysis with temporal gating brings us to a systematic understanding of the relation between the time evolution of quantum correlation and a set of parameters characterizing the exciton states, including fine-structure splitting and cross-dephasing time. The Werner state relates the Bell's parameter in the Clauser, Horne, Shimony, and Holt inequality with a fidelity, which facilitates the evaluation of nonlocality.

    The emission cascade of a single quantum dot is a promising source of entangled photons. A prerequisite for this source is the use of a symmetric dot analogous to an atom in a vacuum, but the simultaneous achievement of structural symmetry and emission in a telecom band poses a challenge. Here we report the growth and characterization of highly symmetric InAs/InAlAs quantum dots self-assembled on C3v symmetric InP(111)A. The broad emission spectra cover the O (λ∼1.3 μm), C (λ∼1.55 μm), and L (λ∼1.6 μm) telecom bands. The distribution of the fine-structure splittings is considerably smaller than those reported in previous works on dots at similar wavelengths. The presence of dots with degenerate exciton lines is further confirmed by the optical orientation technique. Thus, our dot systems are expected to serve as efficient entangled photon emitters for long-distance fiber-based quantum key distribution. © 2014 American Physical Society.

    We have recently reported the successful fabrication of bright single-photon sources based on Ag-embedded nanocone structures that incorporate InAs quantum dots. The source had a photon collection efficiency as high as 24.6%. Here, we show the results of various types of photonic characterizations of the Ag-embedded nanocone structures that confirm their versatility as regards a broad range of quantum optical applications. We measure the first-order autocorrelation function to evaluate the coherence time of emitted photons, and the second-order correlation function, which reveals the strong suppression of multiple photon generation. The high indistinguishability of emitted photons is shown by the Hong-Ou-Mandel-type two-photon interference. With quasi-resonant excitation, coherent population flopping is demonstrated through Rabi oscillations. Extremely high single-photon purity with a g((2))(0) value of 0.008 is achieved with pi-pulse quasi-resonant excitation. (C) 2014 AIP Publishing LLC.

We demonstrate with finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) simulations that inclination of a pillar sidewall, which changes the structure to a nanocone, is effective in improving the photon extraction efficiency. We demonstrate how such nanocone structures with inclined sidewalls are fabricated with reactive ion etching. With the optimized design, a photon extraction efficiency to outer airside as high as similar to 97% generated from a quantum dot in a nanocone structure is simulated, which is the important step in realizing SPS on-demand operations. We have also examined the direct contact of such a metal-embedded nanocone structure with a single-mode fiber facet as a simple and practical method for preparing fiber-coupled SPS and demonstrated practical coupling efficiencies of similar to 16% with FDTD simulation.

    Metallic nanocavities have been actively studied for realizing nanolasers with low threshold. Presence of resonance modes with high cavity Q values is the indication of low internal loss that leads to low threshold lasing. However, cavity Q values observed in metallic nanocavities below lasing threshold remain low at present on the order of 100 to 500. We study the possibility to realize higher resonance Q values with a metallic nanocavity. For probing purpose of cavity modes we propose to employ broad mid-gap-state optical emission of n-type GaAs. With this method we report the observation of a resonance mode with the high Q value of 3800 at room temperature with the metallic nanocavity. The cavity mode is identified as a whispering-gallery mode with finite-element- method simulation. (c) 2013 AIP Publishing LLC.

    An ideal emitter of entangled photon pairs combines the perfect symmetry of an atom with the convenient electrical trigger of light sources based on semiconductor quantum dots. Our source consists of strain-free GaAs dots self-assembled on a triangular symmetric (111)A surface. The emitted photons reveal a fidelity to the Bell state as high as 86(+/- 2)% without postselection. We show a violation of Bell's inequality by more than five times the standard deviation, a prerequisite to test a quantum cryptography channel for eavesdropping. Due to the strict nonlocal nature the source can be used for real quantum processing without any postprocessing. The remaining decoherence channel of the photon source is ascribed to random charge and nuclear spin fluctuations in and near the dot.

    We report a comprehensive investigation of carrier-transfer dynamics in a single InAs quantum dot (QD) based on second-order photon correlation measurements. The experimentally obtained auto and crosscorrelation functions as well as photoluminescence intensities are successfully explained on the basis of a series of rate equations with common excitation and also single-carrier-capture/escape rates to/from a QD. This approach enables us to understand the carrier-transfer dynamics responsible for the stability of a quantum two-level system formed in a single QD under various excitation conditions. We clarify that the transition between neutral and charged excitonic states is suppressed by one order of magnitude under quasiresonant excitation.

Furthermore, strong suppression of multiphoton generation is confirmed. The proposed structure is quite promising toward the implementation of practical quantum key distribution systems with dot-fiber-coupled photon sources. (C) 2013 The Japan Society of Applied Physics

    Fiber-based bidirectional photon detection from nanoscale emitters and photon antibunching behavior between two outputs of two single-mode fibers (SMFs) are experimentally demonstrated. Flakes containing the epitaxially grown quantum dots (QDs) are mechanically fixed by both sides with the edge faces of the SMF patch cables. The emitting photons from a single QD are directly taken out of both sides through the SMFs. Single-photon emission between two SMF outputs is confirmed by detecting nonclassical antibunching in second-order photon correlation measurements. This simple optomechanical alignment-free single-photon emitter is advantageous because of its robust stability of more than three months and low-cost fabrication.

    GaSb based quantum wells (QWs) show promising optical properties in near-infrared spectral range. In this paper, we present photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopies of InxGa1-xSb/AlyGa 1-ySb QWs and discuss the possible thermal quenching and non-radiative carrier recombination mechanisms of the QW structures. The In and Al concentrations as well as the QW thicknesses were precisely determined with the X-ray diffraction measurements. Temperature dependent time-integrated and time-resolved PL spectroscopies resulted in the thermal activation energies of ∼45 meV, and the overall self-consistent calculation of the band parameters based on the measured physical values confirmed that the activation energies are due to the hole escape from the QW to the barriers. The relation of the present single carrier escape mechanism with the other escape mechanisms reported with other material systems was discussed based on the estimated band offset. The relation of the present thermal hole escape to the Auger recombination was also discussed. © 2013 American Institute of Physics.

    Growth of 90° interfacial-misfit-dislocation (IMF) array at heterointerfaces offers low dislocation densities in highly mismatched heterostructures such as GaSb/GaAs. We investigated time-integrated and time-resolved photoluminescence (PL) properties of a GaSb/AlGaSb quantum well (QW) structure grown on (001) GaAs substrate with and without IMF array at the GaSb-buffer/GaAs interface. Our observation reveals that the low-temperature PL from the QW with IMF is twice more intense than that of the QW without IMF, indicating higher quantum efficiency with IMF. The QW with IMF also exhibited the band filling effect at higher excitation power revealed from the spectrally resolved PL decay measurements. These results are the indication of subdued dislocation density with the IMF growth mode. Our PL measurement results along with supportive band-structure calculation of the GaSb/AlGaSb QW show that the luminescence efficiency of the present QW structure is limited by the hole leakage at elevated temperature. Therefore the IMF effect will be more clearly demonstrated by replacing the heterostructure with the one with higher band-offsets.

    InAs quantum dots (QDs) grown on InP substrates can be used as light emitters in the telecommunication bands. In this paper, we present optical characterization of high-density circular quantum dots (QDots) grown on InP(311)B substrates and elongated dots (QDashes) grown on InP(001) substrates. We study the charge carrier transfer and luminescence thermal quenching mechanisms of the QDots and QDashes by investigating the temperature dependence of their time-integrated and time-resolved photoluminescence properties. This results in two different contributions of the thermal activation energies. The larger activation energies are attributed to the carrier escape to the barrier layer and the wetting layer (WL) from QDots and QDashes, respectively. The smaller activation energies are found to be originated from inter-dot/dash carrier transfer via coupled excited states. The variation of the average oscillator strength associated with the carrier re-distribution is discussed. The relation of the two activation energies is also quantitatively studied with the measurements of excited-state and ground-state energy separations. Finally, we show an approach to isolate individual quantum dots or dashes in a suitable nanostructure. (C) 2013 American Institute of Physics. [http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4775768]

    We report on the experimental demonstration of single-photon source based on a single InAs quantum dot emitting in the telecommunication band. The low-density quantum dots grown by epitaxial method are embedded in an as-etched pillar structure. Photoluminescence spectrum of a single InAs quantum dot exhibits intense and narrow emission lines. Photon antibunching behavior is clearly observed using superconducting single-photon detectors with high sensitivity, which indicates the single-photon emission.

    We report the observation of an anomalous antibunching dip in intensity autocorrelation function with photon correlation measurements on a single-photon emitter (SPE). We show that the anomalous dip observed is a manifestation of quantum nature of SPEs. Taking population dynamics in a quantum two-level system into account correctly, we redefine intensity autocorrelation function. This is of primary importance for precisely evaluating the lowest-level probability of multiphoton generation in SPEs toward realizing versatile pure SPEs for quantum information and communication.

    We have investigated the optical properties of a single InAsP quantum dot embedded in a standing InP nanowire. Elongation of the transverse exciton-spin relaxation time of the exciton state with decreasing excitation power was observed by first-order photon correlation measurements. This behavior is well explained by the motional narrowing mechanism induced by Gaussian fluctuations of environmental charges in the nanowire. The longitudinal exciton-spin relaxation time is evaluated by the degree of the random polarization of emission originating from exciton states confined in a single-nanowire quantum dot by using Mueller calculus based on Stokes parameters representation. The reduction in the random polarization component with decreasing excitation power is caused by suppression of the exchange interaction of electron and hole due to an optically induced internal electric field by the dipoles at the wurtzite and zinc-blende heterointerfaces in the InP nanowire. © 2012 American Physical Society.

    The injection of Cooper pairs into a normal medium such as a semiconductor is known as the proximity effect at the superconductor/normal interface. We confirm this injection as well as the contribution of Cooper pairs to a drastic enhancement of inter-band optical transitions in semiconductor heterostructures. In this paper we investigate and clarify the relation of internal quantum efficiencies and radiative lifetimes in Cooper-pair light emitting diodes (CP-LEDs). A quantitative description of the dynamic photon generation processes is given, and the contribution of the Cooper-pair recombination relative to normal-electron recombination in CP-LEDs is discussed in detail.

    Superconductivity and optoelectronics have developed almost independently and had very rare interactions with each other in science and technologies. However recent interdisciplinary research opens up the potential for developing new optoelectronic devices. This review paper presents our recent theoretical and experimental demonstrations that superconductivity significantly modifies and accelerates photon generation processes. We have prepared superconducting light emitting diodes (LEDs) emitting at similar to 1.6-mu m optical-fiber communication band for the experimental demonstrations. This new-type LED operation is based on a unique physics related to Cooper-pair interband transition in a semiconductor, and further research leads to the solid-state simultaneously generated photon-pair sources for the potential application in quantum information and communication.

    Blueshifts of luminescence observed in type-II heterostructures are quantitatively examined in terms of a self-consistent approach including excitonic effects. This analysis shows that the main contribution to the blueshift originates from the well region rather than the variation of triangular potentials formed in the barrier region. The power law for the blueshift, ΔEPL ∝ Plaserm, from m = 1/2 for lower excitation Plaser to m = 1/4 for higher excitation, is obtained from the calculated results combined with a rate equation analysis, which also covers the previously believed m = 1/3 power law within a limited excitation range. The present power law is consistent with the blueshift observed in a GaAsSb/GaAs quantum well. © 2012 Jo et al.

    We experimentally demonstrate Cooper pairs' drastic enhancement of the band-to-band radiative recombination rate in a semiconductor. Electron Cooper pairs injected from a superconducting electrode into an active layer by the proximity effect recombine with holes injected from a p-type electrode. The recombination of a Cooper pair with p-type carriers dramatically increases the photon generation probability of a light-emitting diode in the optical-fiber communication band. The measured radiative decay time rapidly decreases with decreasing temperature below the superconducting transition temperature of the niobium electrodes. Our results indicate the possibility to open up new interdisciplinary fields between superconductivity and optoelectronics.

    We experimentally prepare bi-photon mixed states in polarization employing an entangled-classical hybrid photon emitter which can properly model solid-state entangled photon sources with uncorrelated background photons. Polarization-uncorrelated photon pairs in totally mixed (TM) states are embodied with classical thermal radiation, while the polarization-entangled ones in a Bell state are generated by conventional parametric down conversion. The bi-photon states generated from the hybrid photon emitter are characterized in terms of a linear entropy-tangle plane, which reveals the formation of two-qubit Werner states. We also propose a direct way for evaluating the Werner states by means of minimal coincidence counts measurements. This simple method can be widely applicable in examining the bi-photon states from solid-state entangled photon sources, in which the polarization-entangled photon pairs have temporal correlation while the background photons in the TM states do not.

    We introduce a novel metal-embedded semiconductor pillar structure including quantum dots as highly efficient single-photon sources for quantum information applications. We have developed related processes for fabricating the proposed structure and have demonstrated strongly suppressed multi-photon generation and improved photon extraction efficiency. As a result, under non-resonant excitation, which is highly preferable for practical use, single-photon purity with g(2)(0) as low as 0.015 has been measured. The extremely small semiconductor volume of the metal embedded structure is a crucial factor for this observation. Moreover, single-photon generation from a single quantum dot at a rate of up to 6.4 million per second has been achieved. (C) 2010 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim

    We report the experimental demonstration of single-photon and cascaded photon pair emission in the infrared, originating from a single InAsP quantum dot embedded in a standing InP nanowire. A regular array of nanowires is fabricated by epitaxial growth on an electron-beam patterned substrate. Photoluminescence spectra taken on single quantum dots show narrow emission lines. Superconducting single photon detectors, which have a higher sensitivity than avalanche photodiodes in the infrared, enable us to measure auto and cross correlations. Clear antibunching is observed [g((2))(0) = 0.12] and we show a biexciton-exciton cascade, which can be used to create entangled photon pairs. (C) 2010 American Institute of Physics.

    A light-emitting diode (LED) in the optical-fiber communication band showed special features after replacing the n-type electrode with niobium (Nb) superconducting metal. Nb electrodes prepared on an InGaAs-based semiconductor surface formed a superconductor/semiconductor/superconductor junction, and the current-voltage characteristics exhibited both DC and AC Josephson junction properties. This was a result of the injection of electron Cooper-pairs into the n-InGaAs active layer of an LED. The drastic enhancement of the electroluminescence output observed below the Nb superconducting critical temperature, T(c), demonstrates the active role of electron Cooper-pairs in radiative recombination. Lifetime measurements of this LED and accurate evaluation of the luminescence output made it possible to estimate the radiative recombination lifetimes. A theoretical formula derived for the Cooper-pair radiative recombination accurately describes both the measured steep reduction of the radiative recombination lifetime and the observed enhancement of the internal quantum efficiency below Tc. This work will assist the development of interdisciplinary physics and new applications in superconductivity and optoelectronics. (C) 2010 The Japan Society of Applied Physics

Single photon generation and single photon-pair generation with little uncorrelated multiphoton emission and the feasibility of media conversion of the quantum states between photon polarization and electron spin are fundamental functions for quantum information applications. Mutual media conversion for the angular momentum between photon polarization and electron spin is also achieved with high fidelity via positively charged exciton state without external magnetic field. This is a clear indication that the coupling of photon polarizations and electron spins keeps secured during whole processes before photon emission. Possibility of a metal-embedded structure is demonstrated with the observation of drastic enhancement of excitation and/or collection efficiency of luminescence as well as clear antibunching of photons generated from a quantum dot.

    We studied the novel structure for improving the emission properties of semiconductor light sources both theoretically and experimentally. The proposed structure is a semiconductor pillar buried in a metal except for one end surface of the pillar. Photons are extracted only from the air-exposed surface. The structure consists of the GaAs nanopillar structures embedded in metal and is analyzed by the finite-difference-time-domain method. InAs quantum dots buried in a GaAs pillar are assumed to be the photon emitters. Simulations are performed on GaAs pillars with different diameters buried in Niobium. Consequently, the simulation showed 75% light extraction efficiency from the pillar to air with the optimization of the structure. In addition, we experimentally measured photoluminescence intensities of up to 40 times enhancement in embedded structures compared to normal pillar structure. These are promising for future applications to overcome single photon sources. © 2009 SPIE.

    We report optical properties of InP/InAsP/InP nanowire quantum dots and single-photon Fourier spectroscopy of an exciton in a single InAsP quantum dot embedded in an InP nanowire. The coherent length of the time-averaged emission originating from the single InAsP QD was measured by a Mach-Zehnder interferometer inserted in the photoluminescence path. Effects of fluctuations in surrounding excess charges trapped in the InP nanowire were investigated by excitation power and energy dependencies.

    Observation of drastically enhanced luminescence emitted from InAs quantum dots (QDs) which were in direct contact to superconducting Niobium (Nb) is reported. Although the PL intensity was essentially temperature independent without Nb stripe, drastic temperature dependence was observed with the presence of the Nb stripe. PL intensity was substantially increased below the Nb superconducting critical temperature (T-c). About 3-times enhancement was observed below T-c. This phenomenon is attributed to the Cooper pairs penetrated from the superconducting Nb stripe to adjacent InAs QDs by the proximity effect. This is the first experimental demonstration that the Cooper pairs enhance radiative recombination through QDs. (C) 2009 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim

    High degree of excitonic spin-state preservation during energy relaxation is demonstrated in a single quantum dot. Optical-phonon resonances and corresponding suppression of spin relaxation are clearly identified as dip structures in photoluminescence excitation spectra probed by the positive trion emission. Consequently, under the longitudinal optical-phonon resonant excitation, a distinguishably high degree of circular polarization up to similar to 0.85 is achieved. Extended spin-relaxation time in the positive trion ground state compared to that in neutral exciton ground state is also revealed.

  • Exciton-phonon interactions observed in blue emission band in Te-delta-doped ZnSe 査読

    Photoluminescence (PL) in the blue wavelength region originating from a no-phonon (NP) transition at 2.734 eV and longitudinal optical (LO) phonon sidebands of Te isoelectronic centers (ICs) were clearly resolved after thermal annealing by delta-doping of Te in ZnSe layers. Broad luminescence (conventionally called the S1 band) had been previously observed in this region (i.e., around 2.65 eV). The PL intensities of the NP line and the phonon replicas followed a Poisson distribution with a mean phonon number (Huang-Rhys factor) of S similar to 1.1. This indicates that the broadening of the 2.65 eV emission band is due to the superposition of the NP lines and their LO phonon replicas originating from the Te ICs with slight variations in their transition energies. The origin of the luminescence is discussed in relation to linearly polarized PL measurements. (C) 2008 American Institute of Physics.

    Single photon emission with high degree of circular polarization (DCP) from a positively charged exciton (trion) state in a single quantum dot (QD) is demonstrated under zero magnetic field. Obtained high DCP as large as 0.6 is a clear manifestation of highly effective mutual polarization conversion between single photon and single electron spin. This finding also reveals that the spin relaxation is strongly suppressed during capture and thermalization processes and also in trion ground states in a QD. Moreover, exciton charging state control is shown to be possible by modifying the electron capture probability through the excitation energy tuning, which leads to an exclusive formation of the positive trion in a QD.

    To demonstrate the contribution of Cooper pairs to radiative recombination in a semiconductor, a n-InGaAs/p-InP light emitting diode with superconducting Nb electrodes was fabricated. Electroluminescence as well as photoluminescence from the n-InGaAs into which electron Cooper pairs were expected to penetrate from the superconducting Nb electrodes by the proximity effect was drastically enhanced at the temperature lower than the superconducting transition temperature. This is the experimental evidence that Cooper pairs enhance radiative recombinations by the superradiance effect.

    Quantum information processing and quantum cryptography are expected to realize highly secure future information networks. How to control photon qubits will be one of the major issues for this direction, but the technologies related to generations and detections of individual photons are still being developed. Semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) have been expected to play major role for on-demand generations of single photons as well as entangled photon pairs. In this talk, photon generation processes from a single QD will be studied for the control of the quantum states of generated photons. Generation of entangled photon pairs from QDs based on biexciton-exciton cascade recombination processes is presently in a difficult situation due to exciton states energy splitting related to growth-related issues. An approach to open new paradigm will be discussed with preliminary results.

  • Detailed measurements of nuclear spin polarizations in a single InAlAs quantum dot through overhauser shift of photoluminescence

    We investigated optical pumping of nuclear spin polarizations in a single self-assembled In0.75Al0.25As/Al0.3Ga0.7As quantum dot. The nuclear spin polarization exhibits the abrupt jump and hysteresis in the excitation power dependence at a particular excitation polarization. Measurement of circular polarization rate of the photoluminescence reveals that the abrupt change of the nuclear spin polarization is created mainly by the spin flip-flop process between nuclei and an electron of a positive charged exciton in this single quantum dot. Model calculation explains well the experimentally observed bistable behavior in InAlAs quantum dot. By using this abrupt change, the sign and magnitude of electron and hole g-factors in z-direction are verified.

    The role of nitrogen (N) in emission wavelengths from InAs quantum dots (QDs) was studied with intentional supplies of a N precursor (monomethylhydrazine) to InAs dot surfaces just before burying them with GaAs capping layers by metalorganic molecular-beam epitaxy. Luminescence from the InAs QDs showed a red shift with the N-precursor supplies on the dot surfaces, and more clear separations of the luminescence sub peaks originating from QD excited-state transitions were observed. The increase in the N precursor supplies on the dot surfaces however changed the relative variation in the emission wavelengths from the red shift to the blue shift. Additional observations of the dot sizes, as well as the model calculations of the emission peaks and of the energy separations of the lowest and QD excited-state transitions showed that the red shift is due to the reduced Ga inclusion in the InAs QDs and that the blue shift is due to the reduced dot sizes.

    Triggered single-photon generation from InAlAs quantum dot (QD) was demonstrated for the first time. Emitted photon energy coincides with high detection efficiency range of Si single-photon detectors, which is highly suitable for free-space communication. Single-QD spectroscopy and crossed photon correlation measurements unambiguously revealed that several emitting lines observed in a single mesa structure originated from the identical QD, and two temporary competing decay processes associated with neutral states and charged states were identified. Presence of the competing process is also inferred from an analysis of steady-state photoluminescence intensities. Formation process of charged exciton in QD is also discussed. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V.

    Photon emission with nonclassical photon statistics is discussed with a single InAlAs quantum dot. The deterministic single-photon generation in which the emitted photon wavelength matches well to the highly sensitive wavelength region of highly efficient, low-noise Si-single-photon detectors and also to an atmospheric transmission window is demonstrated. Competing transition processes between neutral and charged exciton species originating from an exclusive formation in the same single quantum dot are clarified. It was found that suppressing the charged exciton formation is possible by a quasi-resonant excitation for a deterministic monochromatic single-photon generation. Polarization-dependent photoluminescence spectroscopy clearly indicates the preservation of photon polarizations between photons emitted by biexciton/exciton recombinations. Furthermore, the deterministic polarization-correlated photon pair generation with biexciton-exciton cascaded transition occurring in a single quantum dot is directly confirmed by the polarized second-order photon correlation measurements. This indicates a longer polarization flip time than the exciton lifetime, which is an essential requirement for the deterministic Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen photon pair generation under the present biexciton-exciton cascaded transition scheme.

    High-quality ZnO thin films have been grown by plasma-enhanced molecular-beam epitaxy on sapphire substrates. Free-exciton absorption and exciton-LO phonon absorption peaks are observed in the films at room temperature, indicating that the exciton states are stable even at room temperature. Three excitonic transitions associated with valence bands A, B, and C are clearly revealed in the reflectance spectrum measured at low temperatures. This result indicates that the ZnO thin films have a perfect wurtzite crystal structure. Biexciton emission is observed in the photoluminescence spectra at low temperatures, from which the biexciton binding energy is estimated to be 14.5 meV, in good agreement with previous results. Exciton-LO (Ex-LO) and exciton-2LO (Ex-2LO) photon emission peaks are observed at low temperature. The energy difference between the Ex-LO and Ex-2LO bands is about 72.5 meV, which coincides with previously reported values of the LO phonon energy for ZnO thin films.

    High-quality ZnO thin films have been grown by plasma-enhanced molecular-beam epitaxy on sapphire substrates. Free-exciton absorption and exciton-LO phonon absorption peaks are observed in the films at room temperature, indicating that the exciton states are stable even at room temperature. Three excitonic transitions associated with valence bands A, B, and C are clearly revealed in the reflectance spectrum measured at low temperatures. This result indicates that the ZnO thin films have a perfect wurtzite crystal structure. Biexciton emission is observed in the photoluminescence spectra at low temperatures, from which the biexciton binding energy is estimated to be 14.5 meV, in good agreement with previous results. Exciton-LO (Ex-LO) and exciton-2LO (Ex-2LO) photon emission peaks are observed at low temperature. The energy difference between the Ex-LO and Ex-2LO bands is about 72.5 meV, which coincides with previously reported values of the LO phonon energy for ZnO thin films.

    It is well-recognized that exciton-state energy splitting makes it difficult to generate entangled photon pairs (EPP) from a single quantum dot (QD). It will be shown that the splitting of the exciton states originates from not only QD anisotropy but also ionization of residual impurities. This result shows that the growth of highly pure barrier layers will be necessary for the generation of EPP. (c) 2006 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim.

    The present study was performed to assess cerebral glucose metabolism in patients with panic disorder using positron emission tomography. F-18-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography with voxel-based analysis was used to compare regional brain glucose utilization in 12 nonmedicated panic disorder patients, without their experiencing panic attacks during positron emission tomography acquisition, with that in 22 healthy controls. Panic disorder patients showed appreciably high state anxiety before scanning, and exhibited significantly higher levels of glucose uptake in the bilateral amygdala, hippocampus, and thalamus, and in the midbrain, caudal pons, medulla, and cerebellum than controls. These results provided the first functional neuroimaging support in human patients for the neuroanatomical hypothesis of panic disorder focusing on the amygdala-based fear network.

    Single-photon emitters and detectors are key devices to realize secure communications with single-photon-based quantum cryptography and single-photon-based quantum computing. InAlAs quantum dots (QDs) cover the wavelength range with high quantum efficiencies of Si-based single-photon detectors. Clear photon antibunching was observed from an InAlAs single QD under weak excitations. To realize single-photon emitters on demand, complete population of the QD energy states before the photon emission events is necessary, but the measured antibunching properties were dependent substantially on the photo-excitation powers. The physical origin of this problem is discussed. The criterion to distinguish the real deviation from the photon antibunching condition and the artifact of the measurements is clarified. The capability of single-photon emissions on demand will be demonstrated with photon antibunching under pulsed operations.

    Regulated single-photon generation from an InAlAs quantum dot was demonstrated at a wavelength in which Si-avalanche photodiode single-photon detector has high quantum efficiency. Measured excitation power dependence of photon coincidence counts revealed that highly pure single-photon emission was realized at low excitation powers. Beyond a critical excitation, population of multi-exciton states in the quantum dot degraded the purity of single-photon emission.

    The role of nitrogen (N) in InAs quantum dots (QDs) surfaces was studied by supplying a nitrogen (N) precursor to InAs QDs surfaces just before burying them under GaAs capping layers. Monomethylhydrazine was used as the N precursor. InAs QDs treated by such N exposure of their upper surfaces showed the following distinct improvements in their uniformity and efficiency: the peaks of histograms showing QD size distributions observed by atomic-force microscopy became narrower. Photoluminescence (PL) subpeaks originating from QD energy states showed clearer structures. The full widths at half maximum of the PL linewidths were reduced to 20 meV at room temperature, which is among the lowest reported. In addition to these observations of higher QD uniformities, the thermal activation energy for the temperature dependence of integrated PL intensity increased from 150 to 310 meV and also the PL efficiency increased similar to 6-folds with the N-exposure of the InAs QD surfaces. The role of N in these marked improvements in characteristics was discussed on the basis of valence-force field model calculations.

    High-quality ZnO thin films were grown by plasma-enhanced molecular-beam epitaxy on sapphire substrates. Three excitonic transitions associated with the valence bands A, B, and C were clearly revealed in the reflectance spectrum measured at 33 K. This result indicates that the ZnO thin films have the wurtzite crystalline structure. The emission spectra were measured with backscattering geometry at room temperature. When the excitation exceeded a certain value, linewidth narrowing, nonlinear rise of emission intensity, and the shortening of the carrier lifetime were clearly observed and these demonstrate the onset of stimulated emission. Together with the ZnO thickness dependence, we conclude that the observation of a stimulated emission in a direction perpendicular to the film surface is predominantly due to scattering of the in-plane stimulated emission by slightly remaining surface undulations in the ZnO films.

    Dynamical properties of exciton localization into spatially isolated localized states with atom-like density of states caused by alloy potential fluctuations were examined. Submicron-sized mesa-shaped structures were prepared to resolve the contribution of single localized states to the optical spectra, which makes it possible to observe atom-like emission lines and to discuss the dynamical properties of exciton energy relaxations by employing micro-time-resolved PL measurements. It will be shown that in the samples with high exciton energy transfer efficiency, photogenerated excitons can relax into the spatially isolated localized centers with strong zero-dimensional nature, which leads to the limited number of atom-like emission lines.

    Formation of ohmic contacts to p-type zinc oxide (ZnO) was studied. The p-type ZnO samples were grown by metalorgarric molecular-beam epitaxy with diethylzinc, deionized water vapor and monomethythidrazine and were annealed under oxygen gas ambient at 650 degreesC or 700 degreesC for 20 min to activate doped nitrogen acceptors. Although the current-voltage characteristics measured through gold p-contacts were not perfectly ohmic, they showed perfectly ohmic properties after rapid thermal annealing (RTA) in the temperature range of 300 to 520 degreesC for 2 min. The ohmic contact resistivity was measured with the transmission-line measurement method and it was decreased to approximately 1/64 with increasing the RTA temperature. The minimum contact resistivity of 3.15 x 10(-3) Ohm cm(2) was observed with RTA at 520 degreesC for 2 min. (C) 2004 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim.

    Two kinds of self-assembled InAs quantum dots (QDs) grown on GaAs (001) substrates were studied. One is capped with GaAs layers and the other with GaNAs strain-compensating layers. Photoluminescence (PL) measurements on the two kinds of InAs QDs showed distinct dependence on the selection of the capping layers. The homogeneity and luminescence efficiency of the InAs QDs were much improved when the net strain was reduced with GaNAs layers. These results demonstrate the importance of net strain compensation for the improved optical quality of InAs QDs. (C) 2003 American Institute of Physics.

    GaNAs strain-compensating layers (SCLs) are applied to bury InAs quantum dots (QDs) grown on GaAs substrates. The main idea is the compensation of the compressive strain induced by InAs QDs with the tensile strain in the GaNAs SCLs to keep the total strain of the system minimum. The application of the GaNAs SCLs resulted in a systematic shift of photoluminescence (PL) peaks of the InAs QDs toward the longer wavelengths with the increase of the nitrogen (N) composition in GaNAs, and luminescence at a wavelength of 1.55 &mu;m has been achieved from the InAs QDs for the N composition of 2.7% in the GaNAs SCL. This result is promising for the application of GaNAs SCL for InAs-QDs-based long-wavelength light sources for optical-fiber communication systems.

    Sharp and discrete emission lines from single localized states in ZnCdS ternary alloys were clearly observed from selectively grown mesa structures. This is a demonstration that compound semiconductor alloy systems, which usually show broad emission spectra due to alloy fluctuations, are able to exhibit emissions from discrete energy levels with quasi-zero-dimensional density of states in limited mesa areas where limited number of deeper localized states will contribute. Introduction of ZnCdS/MgS short-period superlattices is found to play a significant role for the exciton migration enhancement from shallower to deeper localized states, which makes the observation of the emission lines from the single localized states possible in the ZnCdS alloy layers.

    Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and transmission electron diffraction (TED) examination has been made to investigate the microstructural behaviour of rock-salt CdO layers grown on (0 0 1) GaAs substrates with two different buffer layers of ZnS and ZnO/ZnS. It is shown that the CdO layer grown on the ZnS buffer layer has epitaxial relationship to the GaAs substrate, even though a low density of CdO nano-crystallites (18-25 nm across) are formed at the CdO/ZnS interface region. TEM and TED results show that the CdO layer grown on the ZnO/ZnS buffer layer is polycrystalline. TED results also show that the ZnO buffer layer is polycrystalline with a mixture of wurtzite and zinc-blende phases, which results in the formation of polycrystalline CdO layers.

    II-VI quantum dots (QDs) have been Linder debate on their ripening properties for some time, and a unified understanding of this phenomenon will be given in this paper. Improvement of QD size uniformity is the main concern for practical applications. Scaling of the dot size distributions on some II-VI QDs will be discussed for the better understanding of the size distributions and for the improvement of the dot size uniformity. QD size distributions also tend to smear out the special features of QDs which are expected to modulate electron-photon interactions in optical microcavities coupled with QDs. Study of energy relaxation processes in QDs reveals the possibility of selectively exciting QDs which are in resonance with longitudinal optical (LO)-phonon emission processes. This scheme will be applied to the study of the strong coupling regime of optical microcavities coupled with QDs. CdS/ZnS QDs embedded in pyramidal three-dimensional microcavities are also examined to study the capability to observe enhanced spontaneous emissions by the coupling with cavity modes in pyramidal microcavities.

    Self-assembled InAs quantum dots (QDs) embedded in GaN0.007As0.993 strain compensating layers have been grown by metalorganic-molecular-beam epitaxy on a GaAs (001) substrate with a high density of 1x10(11) cm(-2). The photoluminescence properties have been studied for two periods of InAs quantum dots layers embedded in GaN0.007As0.993 strain compensating layers. Four well-resolved excited-state peaks in the photoluminescence spectra have been observed from these highly packed InAs QDs embedded in the GaN0.007As0.993 strain compensating layers. This indicates that the InAs QDs are uniformly formed and that the excited states in QDs due to the quantum confinement effect are well defined. This is explained by tensile strain in GaNAs layers instead of the usual GaAs layers to relieve the compressive strain formed in InAs QDs to keep the total strain of the system at a minimum.

    Nitrogen (N) doping in ZnO is studied to realize reproducible p-type conductivity. Undoped ZnO layers prepared on a-face of sapphire substrates with H2O vapor-assisted growth showed n-type conductivity. However, N-doped ZnO (ZnO:N) layers grown in the similar manner showed the type conversion to p-type conductivity. As-grown p-type ZnO:N layers showed low net acceptor concentrations (N-A-N-D) of similar to10(14) cm(-3), but thermal annealing of the N-doped ZnO samples as well as the optimization of growth parameters increased the N-A-N-D up to similar to5 x 10(16) cm(-3). Photoluminescence measurements showed consistent spectra with the electrical properties by a clear conversion from neutral donor-bound exciton emission in n-ZnO to neutral acceptor-bound exciton emission in the p-ZnO layers.

    The energy relaxation processes of CdS self-assembled quantum dots (QDs) embedded in ZnSe were investigated. Longitudinal-optical (LO)-phonon resonant structures were discerned in the photoluminescence spectra under the CdS selective excitation, especially under nearly resonant excitation conditions. Strong energy selectivity among the Gaussian distributed energy levels of the QDs are observed in energy relaxation processes, in which excitons are dominantly injected into the QDs whose ground state energies with respect to the excitation energy are equal to the multi-LO-phonon energy of ZnSe. Detection-energy dependent photoluminescence excitation (PLE) measurements also suggest that the coupling strength between the excitons and LO phonons is strongly size-dependent, i.e., coupling is strongly enhanced in smaller QDs. In addition, type-II band alignment of the CdS/ZnSe heterostructure is experimentally confirmed directly by PLE measurements. (C) 2002 American Institute of Physics.

    H2O vapor-activated ZnO layers have been grown on the a-face of sapphire substrates. The grown ZnO layers revealed a crystalline orientation of c-face ZnO ∥ a-face sapphire. For the II/VI flux ratio of 14, the ZnO layers showed a bandedge luminescence with the emission energy of 3.376 and 3.304 eV at 17 K and room temperature, respectively. The amount of the blue-shifted energy in the Zn-rich ZnO is estimated to be ∼30 meV in comparison to the donor-bound exciton emission reported previously. The energy shifting towards the higher level could be attributed to the drastic reduction of carrier concentration in the order of ∼1017 cm-3 for the II/VI flux ratio of 14. With this growth condition, electron mobility is recorded typically to be ∼90 cm2/Vs which is considerably higher for the same carrier concentrations reported previously with plasma as oxygen source.

    ZnO layers have been grown on a-face sapphire substrates using H2O vapor and O-2 plasma as oxygen sources. The growth rate of HO-vapor-assisted growth of ZnO (v-ZnO) is similar to3 times higher than that of plasma-assisted growth of ZnO (p-ZnO) for the same DEZn flux. This report addresses the higher growth activation of ZnO layers with H2O vapor than with O-2 plasma at the same substrate temperature. A sharp and intense photoluminescence (PL) spectrum is observed in v-ZnO at the neutral donor-bound exciton energy of 3.368eV at 16K. The PL excitation spectrum measurement revealed A and B free exciton energies of 3.382 and 3.388eV, respectively. On the other hand, the p-ZnO showed the band-edge emission energy of 3.373eV but with a very weak PL intensity and broader half width, The PL intensity from v-ZnO was similar to10(4) times brighter than that of p-ZnO and the integrated PL intensity measured at room temperature was kept to similar to1/8 of that measured at 16 K.

    Modified spontaneous emission properties in the presence of confined photon modes inside the three-dimensional (3-D) optical microcavities are demonstrated, Self-formed pyramidal-shaped semiconductor structures fabricated by selective-area growth technique are utilized as an optical microcavity in which discrete photon modes are generated. Noticeable modification of spontaneous emission from active layers embedded in microcavity structures is clearly observed in mu-PL spectra at room temperature, Almost perfect coincidence between enhanced photoluminescence peak wavelengths and the resonance modes inside microcavity is observed. Furthermore. Purcell factors calculated from the obtained Q values reach similar to9, which is inaccessible in the planar microcavitics with only one-dimensional photon confinement normal to the layers. These results indicate that the effective coupling between electronic system and 3-D confined optical fields is realized by the achievement of present low-loss 3-D microcavities with small cavity volume V-c whose dimension is comparable with lambda(3).

    Erbium (Er) doping in GaNP during growth by metalorganic molecular-beam epitaxy was studied. Nitrogen (N) doping in GaP was possible up to ${\sim}\,2$% and exhibited large band-gap bowing consistent with previous reports. Er was doped in GaNP to study the codoping effect of Er and N. Er concentration was estimated to be about 0.2–0.8 at.% depending on the Er Knudsen cell temperature. Er doping in GaNP resulted in photoluminescence (PL) spectra similar to that of GaP in the visible-wavelength region, but the PL subpeaks at energies near the longitudinal-optical-phonon replica observed in GaP exhibited variations with Er doping. Although no sharp Er emissions originating from the 4f-4f inner-shell transitions were observed with the codoping, intense wide-band infrared (IR) luminescence covering the wavelength range from 1.1 to 1.6 $\mu$m was observed with the codoping of Er and N. The IR luminescence was linearly increased for the higher excitations, while the corresponding IR-PL intensity in undoped GaNP was weak and easily saturated.

    CdS quantum dots (QDs) embedded in ZnSe-based microcavities were studied. The distributed Bragg reflectors (DBRs) consisted of quarter-wavelength-thick ZnSe, and ZnSe-MgS superlattices were grown, which exhibited a high reflectivity of 92% with just five periods. Microcavities with ZnSe lambda cavities were sandwiched with the DBRs and clear cavity resonance modes were observed. The US QDs were embedded at the antinode position of the ZnSe lambda cavity and were selectively excited by longitudinal-optical (LO) phonon-assisted energy relaxation to the QDs coupled to the cavity modes. This scheme made it possible to observe vacuum-field Rabi splitting with a coupling with QDs for the first time.

    Optical cavity properties of selectively grown ZnS pyramidal structures were studied. The resonance wavelengths were shifted with the pyramidal size, and pyramidal size dependence of the resonance wavelength was reasonably interpreted by an approximate calculation. Luminescence properties of the ZnS pyramidal photonic dot structures with embedded CdS active layers were studied and a clear modulation of the spontaneous emission was observed at room temperature. Modulated luminescence peaks showed very little temperature dependence of their peaks and their half-line width, which was 2.1 x 10(-4) nm/K and about 4.4 x 10(-3) meV/K, respectively. These properties will demonstrate the possibility of the future application to the temperature-stabilized light emitters with pyramidal photonic dot structures.

    In this letter, we report the growth of single-crystalline rocksalt CdO layers on (001) GaAs substrates using ZnS buffer layers. The growth processes of CdO layers were studied by reflection high-energy electron diffraction (RHEED), and the grown CdO layers were evaluated with atomic force microscopy (AFM), and x-ray diffraction (XRD) measurements. After an initial growth delay, the formation of polycrystalline CdO was observed in RHEED measurements during the initial growth of very thin CdO layers. With the increase of the CdO layer thicknesses, streaky RHEED patterns were observed, which indicate the formation of single-crystalline cubic-phase CdO layers. Surface morphology of the CdO layers observed by AFM was atomically flat with root-mean-square roughness of similar to1 nm. The crystalline structures were elucidated from XRD measurements by the determination of the lattice constant to be 4.686 +/-0.001 Angstrom, indicating the single-phase rocksalt CdO structure.

    Optical properties of self-organized CdS quantum dots (QDs) embedded in monolithic ZnSe/MgS-superlattice microcavity were examined. In the photoluminescence (PL) of CdS QDs, the energy relaxation process was dominated by the photoexcited holes in the ZnSe barrier layers which is in resonance with the ZnSe LO phonon energies. Moreover this energy relaxation process formed the dispersion branches independent of the cavity mode. In the PL measurements of the on/off-resonant excitation, it was observed that the enhancement of the spontaneous emission occurs by the selected excitation of the CdS QDs which is in the resonance with the cavity mode and the LO phonon-assisted relaxations.

    Steady-state optical properties of CdS/ZnSe self-assembled quantum dots structures (QD's) were investigated, Transition energies obtained by both photoluminescence (PL) and photoluminescence excitation (PLE) measurements showed clear blue shift as the average height of CdS dots was reduced and the shift of PLE peaks was well coincided with the calculated transition energy using type-II band alignment Sharp PL spike peaks reflecting the inherent density of state of zero-dimensional systems showed up when the probe area was reduced. LO phonon resonant structures were also discerned in the PL spectra under the CdS selective excitation, especially in the nearly resonant excitation conditions. It is revealed that the observed LO phonon assisted relaxation of CdS QD's can be attributed to the energy relaxation of photoexcited holes in the ZnSe barrier layers.

The role of ZnS buffer layers in the growth of zincblende ZnO films on GaAs(001) substrates was investigated by atomic force microscopy. X-ray diffraction, and photoluminescence (PL) measurements. The optimization of the ZnS buffer layer thickness resulted in improvements of the surface morphology and crystalline quality of ZnO films by homogeneous nucleation. With the optimized ZnS buffer layer thickness of similar to 72 nm the surface root-mean-square roughness of the grown ZnO film was minimized to similar to 14 nm and the deep-level PL intensity was reduced to 1/76 of the near-band edge PL intensity at room temperature.

    Main factors which determine the size, the standard deviations which show the degree of the size fluctuations for the average dot height and diameter, and density in ZnSe self-organized quantum dots (QDs) grown on ZnS layers were studied. By lowering the growth temperature the QDs average size and its standard deviation decreased and the density increased due to the slower surface migration. With the application of the scaling theory, it was revealed that the normalized size distributions were uniquely determined by the nucleation process although the apparent standard deviations of the QD sizes were dependent on the growth temperature. The influence of surface roughness of the underneath layer on the formation of the relations of the dot height and diameter was also examined. It was shown that the fluctuation of the surface potential contributes significantly to the apparent standard deviations of ZnSe self-organized QDs sizes.

    Microspectroscopy of luminescence and optical reflection properties was performed on MgS/ZnSe superlattices with the spatial resolutions of ~µm and ~10 µm, respectively, to examine the origin of excitonic transitions. C1-HH1 well-defined excitonic peaks which originate from multi-monolayer (ML) variation of 4–5 ML height, formed predominantly at the ZnSe surfaces of MgS/ZnSe heterointerfaces, were found to make a significant contribution to the optical spectra. The detailed identification of these inhomogeneous C1-HH1 excitonic peaks and intrinsic C1-LH1 excitonic peaks, which are close in energy levels, is discussed on the basis of results of the present microspectroscopy studies and with respect to the temperature dependence of the luminescence spectra.

    A stable wurtzite phase of ZnO is commonly observed. In this letter, we report the growth and characterization of zinc-blende ZnO on GaAs(001) substrates. The ZnO films grown on GaAs(001) substrates using microwave-plasma-assisted metalorganic molecular-beam epitaxy were characterized by reflection high-energy electron diffraction, x-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscope, and atomic force microscope measurements. The use of a ZnS buffer layer was found to lead to the growth of the zinc-blende ZnO films. Although the zinc-blende ZnO films were polycrystalline with columnar structures, they showed bright band-edge luminescence at room temperature. (C) 2000 American Institute of Physics.

    We have investigated the effects of In doping on the optical properties of GaN films grown bygas-source molecular-beam epitaxy. Time-resolved photoluminescence was carried out to study thetransient optical properties of the epitaxial films. In comparison to the undoped GaN film, thespontaneous emission lifetime was prolonged from below 20 to 70 ps by doping with In. Underhigh-excitation density, stimulated emission was observed from both samples. The thresholdexcitation density was found to be reduced in the In-doped sample. These significant improvementsof the optical properties are attributed to the effective suppression of the formation of thenonradiative recombination centers caused by a change of the growth kinetics induced by a smallamount of In supplied during growth of the GaN films.

    Self-organized ZnSe quantum dots (QDs) were grown on (100) ZnS/GaAs surfaces to study the relation of the size dispersion and luminescence. The exact dot sizes were obtained by measurements of atomic force microscope with its tip calibration and transmission electron microscope. The average dot size was 2.0 nm high and 11 nm in its diameter and the density was 1 x 10(10) cm(-2). Transition energies of ZnSe QDs were calculated using these measured dot sizes. These calculated peaks were in reasonable agreement with measured photoluminescence (PL) peaks. It was also revealed that the broadening of the PL spectra from ZnSe QDs were consistently explained by the dot size distribution. (C) 1999 American Institute of Physics. [S0003-6951(99)03928-5].

    Here we describe a strategy toward constructing semiconductor photonic dots in the ultraviolet to blue region. An array of ZnS dots was grown on a GaAs substrate with a selective growth method. The ZnS dots have a pyramidal structure with the base plane of 800 nm square and the height of 300 nm. The {034} crystallographic planes form the sidewalls of the pyramids. Therefore, the size of the pyramidal dots is uniquely determined by the mask patterning. The optical reflection spectra showed clear resonance peaks which are reasonably assigned by the calculation of the resonance modes. Each resonance showed the Q values on the order of 160-300, a reasonable value to observe the modification of the total spontaneous emission rate in this kind of photonic dots.

    Optical properties of a ZnSe/MgS superlattice (SL) were studied by reflection and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopies. Excitonic structures were clearly observed in the reflection spectra up to room temperature, and the exciton absorption peak energy and linewidth were well coincident with the PL peak energy and linewidth. The origin of the lowest luminescence peak was indicated to be C1-HH1 exciton up to room temperature. The lineshape broadening due to longitudinal-optical-phonon scattering of excitons is much decreased in this SL compared to bulk ZnSe. © 1997 American Institute of Physics.

    Excitonic properties of newly developed zinc-blende ZnSe/MgS superlattices (SLșs) were measured by reflection spectroscopy. The modification of the excitonic peaks by the multiple reflection in the SL films was treated theoretically and a fitting method to estimate the exciton absorption peak positions and exciton linewidths was developed. Although zinc-blende MgS did not exist before, excellent optical properties were observed in the ZnSe/MgS SL"s. Excitonic structures were clearly observed from 13 K up to the measured room temperature. In spite of strong ionicity of MgS barrier layers in the ZnSe/MgS SLșs, the reduction of exciton-LO-phonon coupling was clearly observed in narrower wells. This indicates that the quantum confinement effect on excitons is large due to the large band offsets and it overcomes the enhancement of exciton-LO-phonon scattering due to high ionicity in barrier layers. © 1997 The American Physical Society.

    The effect of organic As flow during the thermal cleaning of GaAs substrates in metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy (MOVPE) and the initial growth of ZnSe on the cleaned GaAs surfaces are investigated using atomic force microscopy, X-ray diffraction and photoluminescence measurements. The thermal cleaning with organic As flow in MOVPE is effective to form atomically flat GaAs surfaces and to grow high-quality ZnSe films. The initial growth processes of ZnSe films are critically dependent on the GaAs surface and on the VI/II flow ratio for the ZnSe growth. The initial growth process of ZnSe films on GaAs surfaces is dominated by the two-dimensional growth mode for Zn-rich growth conditions, while three-dimensional island growth becomes dominant as the Se flow rate increases.

    We investigate the long wavelength (1.2 to 1.55 micro-m) photoluminescence of
    high-density InAs quantum dots and dashes, which were grown on InP substrates.
    We analyze the temperature dependence of the recombination and carrier
    distribution on the alloy composition of the barrier materials, InGaAlAs, and
    on the existence of a wetting layer. Carrier escape and transfer are discussed
    based on temperature dependent photoluminescence measurements and theoretical
    considerations about the heterostructures' confinement energies and band
    structure. We propose two different contributions to the thermal quenching,
    which can explain the observations for both the quantum dot and dash samples.
    Among these one is a unique phenomenon for high density quantum dot/dash
    ensembles which is related to significant inter-dot/dash coupling. With the
    goal ahead to use these dots and dashes for quantum optical applications on the
    single-dot/dash level in the telecommunication C band as well as at elevated
    temperatures we present first steps towards the realization of such devices.

    Luminescence efficiency of InAs quantum dots (QDs) was shown to improve with strain compensation of the compressive strain in InAs QDs with tensile-strained GaNAs burying layers. The improved luminescence efficiency is discussed with the viewpoint of the average strain compensation in the strained semiconductor system. The red shift of the luminescence peak up to 1.55 mu m is also discussed from the same viewpoint of the strain compensation. The valence-force field model calculation of the strain field in the InAs QDs buried with the GaNAs strain compensating layer shows that the strain induced by nitrogen (N) atoms is significant and localized to respective N atoms and the more detailed information how the N atoms are incorporated during the burying process of the QDs with the GaNAs layers is necessary for the full description.

    本研究では、小学5年生から大学生を対象として、Society 5.0に必要とされる理数・工学系の学生実験モデルを作成し、到達度に応じた実験スキルおよび人間力の評価指標を構築する。誰が評価しても同じ結果が得られる客観的な指標を作成し、児童・生徒・学生が主体的に実行できる「学修者本位型実験」を体系化し、公開することを目的としている。
    2021年度は、各専門分野のこれまでの実践の情報収集および「学修者本位型実験」の位置づけと実践準備を主な取り組みとした。旭川高専での学生実験、公開講座やジュニアドクター育成塾を通した小中学生向けの実験、新潟大学での特定の専門を持たない学生への実験等の情報を収集し、「学修者本位型実験」とは何かについて議論を重ねその指針を得た。「学修者本位型実験」とは、一つの実験で完成するものなのか、PBL(Problem Based Learning)を含めなければならないのか、他者のやりとりは必ず必要なのか、一斉に行う実験はこれにあたらないのかなど、必ずしも一つの軸で構築できるものではない多様な要素を考え可視化する仕組みを作る必要があることがわかった。
    また、旭川高専ではPBLを含めた学生主体型実験を試行し、到達レベルに応じた実験スキルセット(オンライン教材を含む実験書と実験スキル評価シート)作成の準備を行った。さらに新潟大学では旭川高専で作成した実験スキル評価シートをカスタマイズして実践を行った。このように高等教育機関の実験と評価の知見を到達レベルに応じて小学5年生までに展開する方法の準備が整った。

    本研究では、これまで進めてきた金属埋め込み構造による単一光子発生と単一光子純度の向上、光子取り出し効率の増大量子もつれ光子対の同時生成に関する研究とその量子情報応用に関する検討を進める。
    本年度は特に長距離の量子情報通信で重要な単一光子発生純度の向上に向けて、これまで用いられてきた理論的な評価方法に根本的な問題点があることを指摘し、新たな評価方法を提示した。これによって、単一光子純度を示す2次の相関関数の値g(2)(τ=0)の値として、発光波長950nm帯のInAs/GaAs系量子ドットを使って世界最低レベルの0.003を実現した。さらにこれをナノコーン構造に加工して金属(銀)に埋め込むことにより、ごく最近光子取り出し効率として24%と高い量子効率を実現した。また発光波長1550nm帯のInAs/InP系量子ドットを銀の中に埋め込み,30倍以上の発光増強を確認し、現在その光子取り出し量子効率の絶対値の見積もりを進めている。
    超伝導体から電子クーパー対を半導体量子ドットへ注入し、電子対の同時再結合により量子もつれ光子対の同時発生を目指す研究は、これまで量子井戸構造の評価にとどまっていた。本年,一度に一対の光子対を生成するのに欠かせない量子ドット構造を含むn型ドープ半導体構造に電子クーパー対を注入し、超伝導体に近接するバリア層において電子クーパー対の発光再結合による発光増強の再現に成功した。現在量子ドットへの電子クーパー対注入の確認実験を進めている。
    量子ドットから光子対を同時生成するもう一つの方法として、微小光共振器を用いる方法が提案されている。我々の提案する金属埋め込み構造は、発生した光子対を同じ確率で表面から取り出すことができ量子情報に応用しやすい特長を持つ。本年度,金属埋め込み構造としては世界最高の共振Q値7000を観測し,現在さらに検討を進めつつある。

    将来の量子鍵配送システム全体として考えた場合、ファイバー系と相補的な役割が期待される空間伝送量子鍵配送に向け、大気の透過率が高くかつSi 単一光子検出器の検出感度とマッチングの良いナノ構造として単一In0.75Al0.25As 量子ドットを形成し、励起エネルギー選択による純度の高い単一光子発生を実現した。さらに、後段での暗号化の際の偏光変調のため高い円偏光度を持つ単一光子の発生を実現した。すなわち、発光エネルギーに対して光学フォノンのエネルギー分高い準位を共鳴的に励起した場合、零磁場中にもかかわらず0.85 と著しい円偏光度の上昇が観測され、電子スピンと光子偏光の間での高効率での状態変換が可能であることが示された。レート方程式解析の結果、InAs LO フォノン共鳴励起下ではスピン反転確率が7.5%以下に抑制され、また荷電励起子基底状態におけるスピン緩和時間は発光再結合寿命の11 倍程度であることが判った。この値は中性励起子のスピン反転時間の約3 倍であり、交換相互作用の無い荷電励起子におけるスピン状態の安定化という、応用に向けて重要な特徴が顕在化された結果と考えられる。これらの成果は、波長短波化した量子ドットによる空間伝送量子暗号通信への展開を展望する上で、非常に大きな意義を持つ。

    現在の計算機で数10億年もかかる因数分解が数分で解けてしまう可能性があるとの衝撃的なアナウンスメントから,量子計算が脚光を浴びている。その動作には制御ノット操作が必要であるが,制御光子1つが存在したときのみ,信号光子の位相が180度変化するような「量子位相ゲート」を構築できればこの動作が可能である。これまで研究代表者らは(001)GaAs基板上に成長したZnSピラミッドによって3次元微小光共振器の研究を進めてきた。
    これまでのピラミッド共振器はGaAs基板上に成長したZnSピラミッドからなっていたが,共振波長の400nm付近ではGaAsが吸収媒質となることから,これを透明媒質からなる分布反射ミラーとすることによって特性の向上が図れないか検討を加えた。その結果,分布反射ミラーが95%くらいの高い反射率を有していても,ZnSピラミッドとの反射位相が適当な条件にならないと,位相関係によって反射率が低下する課題が生じた。この問題を理論的に検討したところ,分布反射ミラーの周期を20〜30周期に増して,反射率もさらに増大すれば,位相関係によらず高い反射率を維持し,ピラミッド共振器の特性が向上することがわかった。また別の方法として,GaAs基板を選択的にエッチングして除去し,ZnSよりも低い屈折率を持つ誘電体薄膜に置き換える方法を開発し,共振モードを確認している。
    このような微小共振器に単一の光子を導入する準備として,単一量子ドットから発生する光子が一つずつ発生していることを,いわゆるHBT相関測定系を用いた2次の光子相関測定におけるアンチバンチング特性から確認した。この測定系を用い,昨年度から検討を進めているソリッドイマルジョンレンズによるピラミッドに入射する光との結合効率の向上をはかった。これらを組み合わせて,ピラミッド内部に挿入した量子ドットによる反射スペクトル測定に成功した。今後単一光子の吸収飽和を利用した量子位相変化の検討を進めていく。

    現在、通信の秘匿性の重要性が増し、量子力学の原理に基づいて安全が保証される量子暗号通信の実現が強く求められている。量子暗号通信用の光源として、現在は減衰させたレーザー光が利用されているが、光子数の揺らぎのためビットレートを高くできない問題がある。そこで、光子数状態と呼ばれる光子数揺らぎのない半導体光源の作製を検討した。光子数状態の発生には、離散的状態密度の存在が必要であり、安定性、加工精度、集積性の観点から最適であると判断した半導体零次元系を用いて研究を行った。半導体材料としてはSi-APD単一光子検出器との波長整合の観点からInAlAsを選択し、自己組織化量子ドットを成長後、微細加工技術によりメサ加工を施した。メサ領域に存在する量子ドットからの発光を顕微光学系に入射させたところ、単一量子ドットに起因する半値全幅約200μeV程度の鋭いピークが観測され、その起源を時間分解分光による強度減衰、また励起光強度依存性により検討したところ、単一量子ドット内に存在する励起子、あるいは励起子分子起源の発光線であると確認した。
    この内の一本の発光線、例えば励起子発光による光子数状態光の発生、更には単一光子発生の検証実験を、HBT setupと呼ばれる強度の二次相関関数を測定する光学系を用いて行った。結果として、励起子発光がアンチバンチングと呼ばれる状態を示すことを確認した。これは、単一量子ドットから生成した光子が光子数状態と呼ばれる光子数の確定した状態にあり、かつその光子数が1であることを示しており、本研究により盗聴の対象となる光子の複数個発生が強く抑制されていることが示された。また、引き続き励起子分子発光線と励起子発光線を用いて光子相関測定を行った。結果、単一量子ドット内の励起子分子発光→励起子発光→基底状態という連続的な発光再結合プロセスによる相関光子対の発生が明瞭に示された。

    窒化物半導体の高品質化のためには,主たる構造欠陥である貫通転位の低減が課題である.現状ではGaNホモエピ基板が欠如しているため.ヘテロエピを余儀なくされている.ヘテロエピ用の基板として本研究では,汎用基板であるサファイア・SiCを取り上げ原子レベル表面状態制御という立揚から高品質化を目指している.初年度は.まずSiC基板の表面平坦化のために,高温HC1/H2ガスエッチング装置を開発し,種々のSiC基板(ポリタイプ・微傾斜特性)に関して原子レベルの平坦化を試みた.実験パラメータ(エッチング温度,プロセス,流量,ガス本圧)および基板パラメータ(ポリタイプ,傾斜角度,面極性,傾斜方向)について総合的な検討を行い,基板表面構造の制御に成功した.最適化実験パラメータにより,傾斜基板には特有な周期化ナノファセット構造が誘起されるとを見出した.この構造は表面の自己組織化と考えられ,エネルギー・速度論的な立場から検討を加えた.このようなナノ周期構造表面はナノ表面として定義・提案することができ,今後ヘテロ系材料への展開を試みる基礎となった.更に,上述の原子レベルで平坦化した基板表面上への窒化物(GaN)半導体のヘテロ結晶成長を分子線エピタキシー法により行った.特に,成長初期過程である核発生・核め融合に注目し成長モードのパラメータ依存性を検討した.また,欠陥生成過程に関するモデリングも行い,微傾斜基板では構造に異方性を生じることを明らかにした.更にGaの吸着脱離状態を制御することによりナノオーダーの選択成長が可能であること見出し,世界で初めてGaN量子細線の作製に成功した.
    また,同様な手法でAINを成長し,AIN表面に規則化したステップバンチングが生じることを見出し,Stranski-Krastanov成長モードによりGaN量子ドットを作製,ドットの1次元規則配列を達成した.これらのドットは規則配列により光学特性が改善されることがわかった.

    経済分野など信頼性が最も重要な領域にまでインターネットが普及するのに伴い,通信の信頼性を高めることが大きな課題となりつつある。その最有力な方法が量子暗号通信である。量子暗号の特徴は,光子一つ一つに偏光情報などをのせると光子一粒だけの測定では不確定性原理により情報を読みとれないことを利用することであり,暗号化する乱数表を盗聴されることなく送受信者が共有できる。このためには,光パルスあたりの光子数を確実に1以下にする必要がある。このような問題点を解決し高速の単一光子源を実現するには,微小共振器により真空場のモード数を低減するとともに共振器内にただ一つの量子ドットを埋め込み,量子ドットの基底状態に関与した励起子を一つの共振モードに強く結合させ,単一光子を発生させることが有力である。
    当該研究では,単一光子源を実現するためにピラミッド共振器を提案し,ピラミッド共振Q値〜5000を実験的に観測するとともに,ピラミッド微小共振器内部にCdS発光層を導入し,自然放出光が共振モードによって増大(遷移確率の増大)を示すことを確認した。単一光子を発生するためのZnCdS混晶ポテンシャル揺らぎによって生じた単一局在準位からの鋭いスペクトルを持った発光を観測した。さらに時間行きでもプーセル効果を確認するためにストリークカメラの感度増強を行い,単一エネルギー準位からの発光を時間分解することに成功した。この成果を今後単一光子源の実現に生かしていく。

    紫外線域の発光デバイスの実現のために,紫外線の広い領域で発光可能なIII族窒化物系半導体による量子ドット発光ダイオード(LED)或いはレーザーを作製することを最終目的とした.初年度においては,量子ドット作製手法として我々が提案している窒化物表面の原子レベル構造改質法である「アンチサーファクタント法」を用い,SiC基板や汎用基板であるサファイア上でのGaN(InGaN)量子ドットの構造制御(サイズ・密度等)を試みた.下地であるAlGaN表面の原子レベルでの構造制御(ステップ構造)は均一なサイズ,配列のためには非常に重要であることがわかった.最終年度は,量子ドットの発光特性の改善のために下地AlGaN層の更なる原子レベル平坦化やアンチサーファクタント供給条件の最適化を行った.下地AlGaN層の表面平坦性は,基板表面によって大きな影響を受けることから,AlGaN薄膜品質(表面も含む)の基板であるSiC表面のステップ・テラス構造依存性も明らかにした.更にデバイス構造実現のためにp-AlGaN,p-GaNを含んだドーピング制御及びドット埋め込み条件およびデバイス構造の最適化(膜厚やAlGaNのAl組成比等),積層量子ドット構造の可能性等に関する知見を得た.最終的にGaN量子ドットを含む発光ダイオード構造を作製し,電流注入(室温・連続注入)によって紫外線領域(〜359nm)からの発光を得た.実用化のためには更なる発光効率の改善が必要であるが,量子ドットが短波長発光デバイスに有効であることが示され,今後の展開が期待される.

    現在光を用いた空間並列多重通信とこれを用いた光インターコネクション,光並列情報処理が是非とも必要であるとの認識が高まり,その光源として面発光レーザとその集積化の研究が活発に進められている。しかしレーザの光出力は発振しきい値に敏感なため,大規模(>100)に集積化するにはレーザ特性の均一性が要求され,各レーザの光出力をそろえるという観点から集積度が増すにつれyield(良品率)に関する困難が増大する。この点,将来的には"しきい値の無いレーザ"ができれば理想的である。本研究では当該研究者らがフォトニック・ドットと呼ぶ3次元フォトニック量子構造を作製し,強い励起子フォトン結合に基づく顕著な自然放出の増大(Purcell効果)・抑制に関する検討を目指している。

    半導体光共振器の分野で従来から研究されている構造は分布ブラッグ反射鏡(DBR)を用いた光の成長軸方向への一次元閉じ込めであり、この場合理論的に十分に大きな電子系との相互作用が得難い。当該研究では光場を閉じ込める半導体共振器として、従来型DBR構造に代わって選択成長技術を利用した、サイズが光の波長程度で光の三次元閉じ込めが可能なピラミッド型の半導体光共振器構造(フォトニックドット)を提案し、これを実際に作製した。この構造において反射スペクトル測定を行ったところ高い性能指数(Q値)を持つ共振ピークが観測され、三次元の光共振器として機能することを示した。
    三次元光閉じ込めを実現するフォトニックドットは、カーボンマスク上でII-VI族化合物半導体であるZnSの選択成長技術を利用して作製した。マスク開口の典型的なサイズは1μmであり、ピラミッド構造の側壁は結晶成長時に自然形成される{034}ファセットで構成されるため、散乱ロスを抑制できる。このフォトニックドット一つに測定領域を絞り室温において反射スペクトルを測定した結果、三次元閉じ込めされた光場の共振モードの構造が明瞭に観測された。Q値は1000程度であった。更に、電子系と光場との相互作用の強さを示すPurcell factor(F)が、三次元光閉じ込め効果によりF〜9とDBR共振器では得られない高い値を示した。
    微小光源としてこのフォトニックドットを考える上では活性層を埋め込む必要がある。そこでこのフォトニックドット中にCdS dotを埋め込み、光学特性の評価を行った。その結果、フォトニックドット領域にのみ光場の共振モードと対応する発光が室温で観測された。これらの結果は、光場の三次元閉じ込めにより強い電子系との相互作用が起こり、自然放出光レートが連続場の場合に比べて高くなっていることを示すと解釈できる。
    更に自然放出光レートの変調の詳細を明らかにするため、時間分解分光法による寿命測定を行っていきたい。

    最近光エレクトロニクスの分野において,ナノ構造光デバイスの研究が活発化している。これは物理的観点からの人工原子ともいうべき量子ドットへの学術的探求と,これを活性領域とした極低消費電力レーザ素子の実現,さらに光場そのものも量子化したサブミクロン光素子とこれらの集積化による高速・並列光処理や光電子集積化による光配線を用いた高速化などへの期待が大きくなってきているためと考えられる。当該研究では,このような微細な光素子を作製する主な方法として,ナノメートルの解像度を持つ原子間力(AFM)ナノリソグラフィとmmの走査領域をカバーする電子ビームリソグラフィを組み合わせた結合リソグラフィを提案している。両者はともに計測機能とパターニング機能を合わせ持つことから,パターン位置合わせの点からも将来性が高い。
    今年度は,昨年度までに開発した,電子ビームによってパターニングされたカーボン膜をAFMによる陽極酸化によってパターニングする際の解像度の改善成果を用いて,量子ナノ構造を作製する技術へと発展させた。具体的には〜25nmの微細な開口パターンを周期的に作製し,CdS/ZnMgCdS系量子ドットの選択成長に成功した。通常の自己組織化量子ドットでは,ドットの大きさならびにその位置は十分には制御でいないが,この方法では作製した量子ドットの大きさはAFMリソグラフィで作製したマスクサイズで決めることができ,また設計した形状に配列することができる。作製例では直径約26nmのドット2次元配列を密度1x10^<10>cm^<-2>の密度で作製できた。これは人工配列したドットとしては世界最高水準の高密度を達成している。これはAFM・電子ビーム結合リソグラフィ技術の応用の一例にすぎないが,今後更にナノテクノロジーの推進に寄与すると期待される。

    励起子とフォトンの相互作用は,例えば半導体微小光共振器における励起子ポラリトンのラビ分裂など興味深い物理現象を引き起こす。しかしこれまでの研究は励起子ポラリトンの分散に関する研究が中心で,光場の量子化の影響,特に励起子とフォトンの相互作用が強い場合の実験的な検討は進んでいなかった。当該研究は,特に光を三次元的に量子閉じ込めした光ドットとでもいうべき半導体構造の作製と,この構造で励起子とフォトンが共鳴して強く結合した場合の発光過程にまとを絞って研究を進めた。
    昨年ZnS系ピラミッド構造により光共振器モードを反射スペクトルで確認したが,その共振Q値は〜300程度にとどまっていた。今年度はさらに微小領域の光学評価に関する検討を加え、単一ピラミッド構造の光学的な結像を確認した上で微小領域の反射スペクトルを観測した。その結果,共振Q値として3000もの大きな値が得られることがわかった。
    このような光共振モードと励起子を強く結合するためには,光共振モードの電磁界分布を把握する必要がある。そこでマクスウエル方程式を差分化して解くFDTD法による理論解析を進め、3次元ピラミッド構造における電磁界モードを計算できるプログラムを完成した。この計算により電磁界分布の大きな領域を把握し,この部分に励起子を閉じ込めるための量子ドットを埋め込む準備を進めている。こうした検討の一端としてZnCdS発光層をピラミッド内に埋め込み,光共振モードによる発光スペクトルの変調を確認した。このような単一モードの微小光共振器と量子ドットの結合による単一光子発光素子へと発展させるべく,今後さらに検討を進めていく。

    量子ドットを用いると,電子デバイスならびに光デバイスにおける状態密度の離散値化などにより高性能化が期待される。現在これらの実現を目指してInGaAs系を中心にその製作方法の研究進展がめざましい。しかし発光波長の観点からは赤外発光に偏っており,より広い発光波長領域への拡大や,量子ドットに閉じ込められた励起子や励起子分子の解明を進めるためには,より広範な半導体による量子ドット作製技術の展開が必要である。特にワイドギャップ半導体では発光波長の短波長化とともに,励起子束縛エネルギーが大きいことから,量子ドットを形成して室温における励起子効果をより顕在化できる可能性がある。さらにこうした電子系の量子化に加えて光場の量子化も実現し両者の相互作用を強めることができれば,高速・高性能発光素子の実現が期待できる。
    本研究はこのような量子ドット構造の作製ならびに光ドットの作製と両者の複合化に関連し,前年度不安定性の観測されたCdSeに対してZnSe系では安定な量子ドットが作製できること,またサイズの微小化に伴う量子準位の増大を反映したブルーシフトが観測され,ドットサイズの精密測定結果とよく対応することを示した。さらに選択成長によりサブミクロンサイズのZnS系のピラミッド構造を形成し,これが微小な光共振器として働くことを,反射スペクトルの測定から明らかにした。その共振ピークは共振Q値として100〜300程度と比較的鋭い共振を示し,エネルギー位置に関しても,近似的な理論計算により合理的なモードの説明ができることを明らかにした。今後,作製した量子ドットをこのような光ドット中に埋め込み,ドットの発光に対する光微小共振器の影響,特に自然放出光の光共振による変調効果を中心に研究を進める。
