  • The binding energy in the n-type $GaAs/Al_xGa_{1-x}As$ quantum well is calculated. The shooting method, modified from the finite difference method, is used for the calculation of the subband energy level and its wave function. In order to account tot the change of the potential energy due to the charged particles, impurities and electrons, the self consistent method is employed. The wave function used for the calculation of the binding energy is assumed to be composed of the envelope function and hydrogenic 1s function. Then, the binding energies calculated by taking into account lot two different types of the hydrogenic 1s function are compared.

  • 분자선 에피택시 방법을 이용하여 GaAs 기판 위에 GaAs 및 AlGaAs 에피층을 성장하면서 성장 멈춤 효과를 연구하였다. 성장 멈춤 시간에 따른 에피층 성장 과정은 반사 고에너지 전자회절로 측정하였다. 성장 멈춤 시간은 0, 15, 30, 60초로 하였다. 그리고 성장 멈춤 시간을 달리하여 GaAs/$Al_{0.3}Ga_{0.7}As$ 다양자우물을 성장한 후 양자우물의 특성을 조사하였다. 반사 고에너지 전자회절의 강도 진동은 성장 멈춤 시간에 영향을 받고 있었다. 그리고 양자우물의 광특성도 성장 멈춤 시간에 의존하고 있었다. 성장 멈춤 시간이 30초일 때 우물과 장벽층 사이에 급준한 계면을 가지는 에피층을 얻을 수 있었다.

  • We investigated theoretically the current-voltage characteristics of resonant tunneling diodes with a single quantum well structure, using a self-consistent method. This method is a numerical analysis which is able to include the effects of the undoped spacer layer and the band bending by charge accumulation and depletion on the contact layers, so that it is better suited to explain experimental results. The structure used is an $Al_{0.5}Ga_{0.5}$As/GaAs/$Al_{0.5}Ga_{0.5}As$ single quantum well. In this work, we estimate the theoretical current-voltage characteristics, and then, the dependence of the current-voltage curves on the thickness of undoped spacer layers.

  • MBE로 성장한 AlGaAs/GaAs multiple-quantum well(MQW)에 대하여 pump source를 He-Ne laser와 Ar laser를 사용하여 상온에서 PR(photoreflectance)측정을 수행한 결과 여러 subband transition peak을 관찰하였다. PR결과를 standard analytic line shape으 로 fitting하여n=1의 conduction band와 heavy hole 그리고 light hole transition peak인 Cl-Hl, Cl-Ll에 대한 energy값들을 얻었다. 또한 상온에서의 PL(photoluminescence)측정에 서 Cl-Hl, Cl-Ll과 관련된 main peak와 shoulder를 관찰하였다. 이 값은 PR측정값과 잘 일 치함으로써 PL에서의 main peak와 should가 Cl-Hl, Cl-Ll과 관련된 peak임을 확인할 수 있 었다. 또한 envelope function approximation(EFA)을 이용하여 구한 이론값과 PR과 PL에서 측정된 실험값들을 비교하였다.

  • We extend our previous theoretical analysis of electronic and optical properties of p-type quantum well structures based on the two heavy- and light-hole system to include all the three valence bands. These theories are then used to clarify the origin of the normal incidence absorption and photo current at photon wavelengths of 2 - 3 ${\mu}m$, which was observed in addition to the absorption around 8 ${\mu}m$ by a recent experimental investigation with heavily doped p-type GaAs/AlGaAs multi-quantum well (MQW) structures. In the theoretical analysis, the Hartree and exchange-correlation many-body interactions are taken into account within one-particle local density approximation, and it is shown that normal incidence absorption occurs in two wavelength regions over the transition energy range higher than barrier height for p-type GaAs/AlGaAs superlattices with well doping of $2{\times}10^{19}\;cm^{-3}$; one region has broad absorption peaks with coefficients of about 5000 $cm^{-1}$ around 8 ${\mu}m$, and the other has two rather sharp peaks at 2.7 ${\mu}m$ and 3.4 ${\mu}m$ with 1800 $cm^{-1}$ and 1300 $cm^{-1}$, respectively. The result indicates that the theory explains the experimental observation well, as the theoretical and experimental results are in close agreement in general absorption features.

  • GRIN-SCH quantum well structured Laser Diode were fabricated using MOCVD and operated as CW at room temperature. The threshold current density of the LD with 670${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ cavity length was 530 A/$\textrm{cm}^2$. For the ridge waveguide type index guiding structured LD with 6${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ stripe width and 240${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ cavity length, the threshold current was 50㎃. The maximum differential quantum efficiency was 0.95W/A when the optical output was 60mW. The lasing wavelength of QW LD was 865nm. In the L-I measurement. TE mode was superior to TM mode. From the near field pattern, single lateral mode operation was observed.

  • Anomalously large real space charge transfer through thick barries in GaAs asymmetric double quantum wells is studied by photoluminesence exitation. This inter-well excitonic transfer is very large when the barrier is the Al0.3Ga0.7As alloy, but disappears when the barrier is GaAs/AlAs digital alloy with an equivalent Al concentration of 0.28. These resilts combined with observed x and barrier thickness depence suggest that the spatial fluctuation of the atomic arrangment of Ga and Al in the alloy may be responsible for this transfer. This picture is supported by the quantum mechanical calculation in three dimensions which takes into account the side fluctuation effects.

  • The Quantum Hall Resistance(QHR) device which consists of GaAs/AlGaAs heterojunction structure is used for the realization of QHR Standard based on QHE. In order to characterize electrical contact resistances and dissipations of the device, it is slowly cooled down for eliminating thermal shock and unwanted noise. Then, the two properties are measured under 1.5 K and 5.15 T. Contact resistances are all within 1.2 Ω and longitudinal resistivities are all within 1 mΩ up to DC 90${\mu}$A. The results mean the device is operated well to realize the QHR Standard. To confirm it, the QHR Standard having the device is compared using a direct current comparator bridge with a 1 Ω resistance standard which the calibrated value is known from QHR standards maintained by other countries. The difference between them is agreed well within measurement uncertainty. It is thus considered that the properties of the device is estimated well and has good performance.
