In this paper, we report the effect of GaN/graded-composition AlGaInN/GaN quantum barriers in active regions on the electrical and optical properties of GaN-based vertical light emitting diodes (VLEDs). By modifying the aluminum composition profile within the AlGaInN quantum barrier, we have achieved improvements in the output power and the internal quantum efficiency (IQE) as compared to VLEDs using conventional GaN barriers. The forward voltages at 350 mA were calculated to be 3.5 and 4.0 V for VLEDs with GaN/graded-composition AlGaInN/GaN barriers and GaN barriers, respectively. The light-output power and IQE of VLEDs with GaN/graded-composition AlGaInN/GaN barriers were also increased by 4.3% and 9.51%, respectively, as compared to those with GaN barriers.

We investigated the effects of high potential barriers on the optical characteristics of InAs quantum dots (QDs) by using photoluminescence (PL) and photoreflectance (PR) spectroscopy. A sample with regular InAs quantum dots on GaAs was grown by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) as a reference. Another InAs QDs sample was embedded in single AlGaAs barriers. On the other hand, a sample with GaAs/AlGaAs superlattice barriers was adopted for comparison with a sample with a single AlGaAs layer. In results, we found that the emission wavelength of QDs was effectively tailored by using high potential barriers. Also, it was found that the optical properties of a sample with QDs embedded in GaAs/AlGaAs superlattices were better than those of a sample with QDs embedded in a single layer of AlGaAs barriers. We believe that GaAs/AlGaAs superlattice could effectively prevent the generation of defects.

The effect of the surface state on the quantum efficiency of underlying GaAs/AlGaAs multi-quantum well(MQW) structures consisting of three GaAs quantum wells with different thickness, is studied by low temperature photoluminescence(PL). The structure was grown by molecular beam epitaxy(MBE) on (100) GaAs substrate. The thickness of three GaAs quantum wells was 3, 6 and 9 nm, respectively. The MQWs were placed apart from 50 nm AlGaAs edge-barriers including two inner-barriers with 15 nm in thickness. The samples used in this study were prepared with different growth temperatures. Particularly, the hydrogen passivation effect to the 9 nm quantum well located at near surface appeared much stronger than any others. Transition energy and optical gain related to the hydrogen passivation effects on the multi-quantum well structure was calculated by transfer matrix method.

We study the ballistic spin transport properties in a two-dimensional electron gas system in the presence of magnetic barriers using a transfer matrix method. We concentrate on the size-effect of the magnetic barriers parallel to a two-dimensional electron gas plane. We calculate the transmission probability of the ballistic spin transport in the magnetic barrier structure while varying the width of the magnetic barriers. It is shown that resonant tunneling oscillation is affected by the width and height of the magnetic barriers sensitively as well as by the inter-spacing of the barriers. We also consider the effect of additional electrostatic modulation on the top of the magnetic barriers, which could enhance the current spin polarization. Because all-semiconductor-based devices are free from the resistance mismatch problem, a resonant tunneling structure using the two-dimensional electron gas system with electric-magnetic modulation would play an important role in future spintronics applications. From the results here, we provide information on the physical parameters of a device to produce well-defined spin-polarized current.

The optical gain and the luminescence of a ZnO quantum well with MgZnO barriers is studied theoretically. We calculated the non-Markovian optical gain and the luminescence for the strained-layer wurtzite quantum well taking into account of the excitonic effects. It is predicted that both optical gain and luminescence are enhanced for the ZnO quantum well when compared with those of InGaN-AlGaN quantum well structure due to the significant reduction of the piezoelectric effects in the ZnO-MgZnO systems.

Sb가 $\delta$도핑된 Si(110)/SiGe 다중 양자 우물 구조에서 에너지 부준위간 전자 천이에 의한 적외선 흡수 현상을 관찰하였다. Si(110)/SiGe 다중 양자 우물 구조에서는 Si(001)이나 GaAs에서는 불가능한, 수직 입사광에 의한 전자 천이가 가능하다. SiGe 층의 Ge 구성비가 증가하면 적외선 흡수 강도는 감소하고 천이 에너지 증가하는 현상을 보여 Ge 구성비가 흡수 스펙트럼에 큰 영향을 미침을 확인하고 그 원인을 분석하였다. 또한 수직 입사광과 수평 입사광은 서로 다른 과정을 통해 흡수되는데 편광각과 입사각을 변화시킨 실험값과 계산값의 비교를 통해 이를 확인할 수 있었다.

In resonant tunneling diodes with the quantum well structure showing the negative differential resistance (NDR), it is essential to increase both the peak-to-valley current ratio (PVCR) and the peak current density ($J_p$) for the accurate switching operation and the high output of the device. In this work, a resonant interband tunneling diode (RITD) with single quantum well structure, which is composed of $In_{0.53}Ga_{0.47}As/ln_{0.52}Al_{0.48}As$ heterojunction on the InP substrate, is suggested to improve the PVCR and $J_p$ through the narrowed tunnel barriers. As the result, the measured I-V curves showed the PVCR over 60.

Self-assembled InAs quantum dots (QDs) embedded in an InAlGaAs matrix were grown on an InP (001) using a solid-source molecular beam epitaxy and investigated using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy. TEM images indicated that the QD formation was strongly dependent on the growth behaviors of group III elements during the deposition of InAlGaAs barriers. We achieved a lasing operation of around 1.5 ${\mu}m$ at room temperature from uncoated QD lasers based on the InAlGaAs-InAlAs material system on the InP (001). The lasing wavelengths of the ridge-waveguide QD lasers were also dependent upon the cavity lengths due mainly to the gain required for the lasing operation.
