  • Shape ellipticity dependence of the exciton fine energy levels in CdTe and CdSe nanocrystal quantum dots were compared theoretically by considering the crystal structure and the Coulomb interaction of an electron and a hole. While quantum dot ellipticity changes from an oblate to prolate quantum dot via spherical shape, both the fine energy levels and the dipole moment in wurtzite structure of a CdSe quantum dot change linearly for ellipticity. In contrast, CdTe quantum dots were found to show a level crossing between the bright and dark exciton states with a significant change of the dipole moment due to the cubic structure. Shape ellipticity dependence of the optical nonlinearities in CdTe and CdSe nanocrystal quantum dots was also calculated by using semiconductor Bloch equations. For a spherical shape quantum dot, only $1^L$ dominates the optical nonlinearities in a CdSe quantum dot, but both $1^U$ and $0^U$ contribute in a CdTe quantum dot. As excitation pulse area becomes strong (${\sim}{\pi}$), the optical nonlinearities of both CdSe and CdTe quantum dots are mainly governed by absorption saturation. However, in the case of a prolate CdTe quantum dot, the real part of the nonlinear refractive index becomes relatively significant.

  • So many groups have been researching the green quantum dots such as InP, InP/ZnS for overcoming the semiconductor nanoparticles composed with heavy metals like as Cd and Pb so on. In spite of much effort to keep up CdSe quantum dots, it does not reach the good properties compared with CdSe/ZnS quantum dots. This quantum dot has improved its properties through the generation of core/shell CdSe/ZnS structure or core/multi-shell structures like as CdSe/CdS/ZnS and CdSe/CdS/ CdZnS/ZnS. In this research, we try to synthesize the InP multi-shell structure by the successiveion layer absorption reaction (SILAR) in the one pot. The synthesized multi-shell structure has improved quantum yield and photo-stability. To generate white light, highly luminescent InP multi-shell quantum dots were mixed with yellow phosphor and integrated on the blue LED chip. This InP multi-shell improved red region of the LEDs and generated high CRI.

  • We report the multiple quantum well (MQW) structure for highly efficient red phosphorescent OLEDs. Various triplet quantum well devices from a single well to five quantum wells are realized using a wide band-gap hole and electron transporting layers, narrow band-gap host and dopant material, and charge control layers (CCL). The maximum external quantum efficiency of 14.8 % with a two quantum well device structure is obtained, which is the highest value among the red phosphorescent OLEDs using same dopant.

  • Optical gain characteristics of $1.3{\mu}m$ type-II GaAsSb/InGaNAs/GaAs trilayer quantum well structures were studied using multi-band effective mass theory. The results were compared with those of $1.3{\mu}m$ GaAsSb/InGaNAs/GaAs trilayer quantum well structures. In the case of $1.3{\mu}m$ GaAsSb/InGaNAs/GaAs trilayer quantum well structure, the energy difference between the first two subbands in the valence band is smaller than that of $1.3{\mu}m$ GaAsSb/InGaNAs/GaAs trilayer quantum well structure. Also, $1.3{\mu}m$ GaAsSb/InGaNAs/GaAs trilayer quantum well structure shows larger optical gain than $1.3{\mu}m$ GaAsSb/InGaNAs/GaAs trilayer quantum well structure. This means that GaAsSb/InGaNAs/GaAs system is promising as long-wavelength optoelectronic devices for optical communication.

  • 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.

The output power, internal quantum efficiency characteristics of LED active region considering thickness of quantum well, number of quantum well and doping of barrier are analyzed using ISE-TCAD.

  • In this paper, we propose a D flip-flop based on quantum-dot cellular automata(QCA) clocking and design a programmable quantum-dot cell(QPCA) structure using the proposed D flip-flop. Previous D flip-flops on QCA are that input should be set to an arbitrary value, and wasted output values exist because it was utilized to duplicate by clock pulse and QCA clocking. In order to eliminate these defects, we propose a D flip-flop structure using binary wire and clocking technique on QCA. QPCA structure consists of wire control logic, rule control logic, D flip-flop and XOR logic gate. In experiment, we perform the simulation of QPCA structure using QCADesigner. As the result, we confirm the efficiency of the proposed structure.

  • Based on the Hilbert $C^*$-module structure we study the reconstruction theorem for stationary monotone quantum Markov processes from quantum dynamical semigroups. We prove that the quantum stochastic monotone process constructed from a covariant quantum dynamical semigroup is again covariant in the strong sense.

  • The miniband structure of a quantum dot lattice based on GaN/AlN nanowire arrays has been investigated using the finite element method and Floquet theorem. The quantum dot modes and the quantum wire modes in the nanowire arrays were graphically verified. The optimum geometries of GaN/AlN quantum wire arrays were investigated by using a correlation between the width of nanowires and the separation of the minibandgap which is to be larger than the thermal energy at room temperature.

  • In quantum cryptographic communication based on quantum mechanics, each piece of information is loaded onto individual photons and transmitted. Therefore, it is impossible to eavesdrop on only a part, and even if an intruder illegally intercepts a photon and retransmits it to the recipient, it is impossible to send the same information to the photon by the principle of quantum duplication impossible. With the explosive increase of various network-based services, the security of the service is required to be guaranteed, and the establishment of a quantum cryptographic communication network and related services are being promoted in various forms. However, apart from the development of Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) technology, a lot of research is needed on how to provide network-level services using this. In this paper, based on the quantum encryption device, we propose an integrated data structure for transferring quantum keys between various quantum encryption communication network devices and realizing an encrypted transmission environment.
