  • ZnO is a promising material for the application of high efficiency light emitting diodes with short wavelength region for its large bandgap energy of 3.37 eV which is similar to GaN (3.39 eV) at room temperature. The large exciton binding energy of 60 meV in ZnO provide provides higher efficiency of emission for optoelectronic device applications. Several ZnO/ZnMgO multiple quantum well (MQW) structures have been grown on various substrates such as sapphire, GaN, Si, and so on. However, the achievement of high quality ZnO/ZnMgO MQW structures has been somehow limited by the use of lattice-mismatched substrates. Therefore, we propose the optical properties of ZnO/ZnMgO multiple quantum well (MQW) structures with different well widths grown on lattice-matched ZnO substrates by molecular beam epitaxy. Photoluminescence (PL) spectra show MQW emissions at 3.387 and 3.369 eV for the ZnO/ZnMgO MQW samples with well widths of 2 and 5 nm, respectively, due to the quantum confinement effect. Time-resolved PL results show an efficient photo-generated carrier transfer from the barrier to the MQWs, which leads to an increased intensity ratio of the well to barrier emissions for the ZnO/ZnMgO MQW sample with the wider width. From the power-dependent PL spectra, we observed no PL peak shift of MQW emission in both samples, indicating a negligible built-in electric field effect in the ZnO/$Zn_{0.9}Mg_{0.1}O$ MQWs grown on lattice-matched ZnO substrates.

  • The global well-posedness for the fourth-order modified Zakharov equations in 1-D, which is a system of PDE in two variables describing interactions between quantum Langmuir and quantum ionacoustic waves is studied. In this paper, it is proven that the system is globally well-posed in (u, n) ∈ L2 × L2 by making use of Bourgain restriction norm method and L2 conservation law in u, and controlling the growth of n via appropriate estimates in the local theory. In particular, this improves on the well-posedness results for this system in [9] to lower regularity.

  • Impurity-free vacancy diffusion 방법을 이용하여 압축 응력을 가진 InGaAs/InGaAsP 다중 양자 우물 구조에서 열처리 온도에 따른 무질서 정도를 조사하였다. InGaAs/SiO$_2$ cap 구조가 InP/$SiO_2$ cap 구조보다 급속열처리 (rapid thermal annealing : RTA) 과정에서 더 많은 청색 천이를 나타내었다. 열처리 온도 $700^{\circ}C$에서, InGaAs/$SiO_2$ cap 구조의 경우 다중양자우물의 밴드갭 파장은 1.55 $\mu\textrm{m}$대역에서 1.3 $\mu\textrm{m}$ 대역으로 이동하였으며, InGaAs/$SiO_2$ cap 구조와 InP/$SiO_2$ cap 구조의 밴드갭 파장차이는 195 nm (123 meV)로 높은 선택성을 나타내었다. 또한, DCXRD 스펙트럼으로부터 다중양자우물 구조에서 균일한 합금형태로 완전히 무질서화되는 것을 볼 수 있었다.

  • We successfully grew InN/GaN single quantum well structures by metal-organic chemical vapor deposition and confirmed their formation by optical and structural measurements. We speculate that relatively high growth temperature ($730^{\circ}C$) of InN layer enhanced the formation of 2-dimensional quantum well structures, presumably due to high adatom mobility. As the growth interruption time increased, the PL emission efficiency from InN layer improved with peak position blue-shifted and the dislocation density decreased by one order of magnitude. The high resolution cross-sectional TEM images clearly showed that the InN layer thickness reduced from 2.5 nm (without GI) to about I urn (with 10 sec GI) and the InN/GaN interface became very flat with 10 sec GI. We suggest that decomposition and mass transport processes on InN during GI is responsible for these phenomena.

  • A new kind of organic-inorganic hybrid polymer, poly(tetraphenyl)silole siloxane (PSS), was invented and synthesized for realization of its unique charge trap properties. The organic portions consisting of (tetraphenyl)silole rings are responsible for electron trapping owing to their low-lying LUMO, while the Si-O-Si inorganic linkages of high HOMO-LUMO gap provide the intrachain energy barrier for controlling electron transport. Such an alternation of the organic and inorganic moieties in a polymer may give an interesting quantum well electronic structure in a molecule. The PSS thin film was fabricated by spin-coating of the PSS solution in THF organic solvent onto Si-wafer substrates and curing. The electron trapping of the PSS thin films was confirmed by the capacitance-voltage (C-V) measurements performed within the metal-insulator-semiconductor (MIS) device structure. And the quantum well electronic structure of the PSS thin film, which was thought to be the origin of the electron trapping, was investigated by a combination of theoretical and experimental methods: density functional theory (DFT) calculations in Gaussian03 package and spectroscopic techniques such as near edge X-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy (NEXAFS) and photoemission spectroscopy (PES). The electron trapping properties of the PSS thin film of quantum well structure are closely related to intra- and inter-polymer chain electron transports. Among them, the intra-chain electron transport was theoretically studied using the Atomistix Toolkit (ATK) software based on the non-equilibrium Green's function (NEGF) method in conjunction with the DFT.

  • In the area of optoelectronic devices based on GaN and related ternary compounds, the two-dimensional system like as quantum wells (QWs) has been investigated as an effective structure for improving the light-emitting efficiency. Generally, the quantum well active regions in III-nitride light-emitting diodes grown on conventional c-plane sapphire substrates have critical problems given by the quantum confined Stark effect (QCSE) due to the effects of strong piezoelectric and spontaneous polarizations. However, the QWs grown on nonpolar templates are free from the QCSE since the polar-axis lies within the growth plane of the template. Also the unique characteristic of linear polarized light emission from nonpolar QW structures is attracting attentions because it is proper to the application of back-light units of liquid crystal display. In this study, we characterized optical properties of the a-plane InGaN/GaN QW structures by temperature-dependent photoluminescence (TDPL) measurements. From the photoluminescence (PL) spectrum measured at 300 K, green emission centered at 520 nm was observed for the QW region. Since indium incorporation on nonpolar QWs is lower than that on c-plane, this high indium-doping on a-plane InGaN QWs is not common. Therefore, the effect of high indium composition on optical properties in a-plane InGaN QWs will be extensively studied.

  • $Al_x/Ga_{1-x}$ /As/AlAs GaAs 계로 이루어진 비대칭 이중 양자우물 구조의 광학적 특성을 photoluminescence, photoluminescence excitation, time-resolved photoluminescence를 통하여 조사하였다. 양자장벽 AlAs의 두께에 따른 특성 변화를 조사하기 위하여 두께를 15$\AA$., 150$\AA$로 제작하였다. 양자장벽이 15$\AA$인 경우 매우 빠른 전자의 관통 현상을 보여 주었으며, 이로 인해 $Al_x/Ga_{1-x}$As의 여기자 재결합에 해당하는 피크가 관찰되지 않았다. AlAs 양자장벽이 150$\AA$인 경우에는 $Al_x/Ga_{1-x}$As양자우물에서 여기자 재결합에 의한 피크가 50ps 이하로 빠른 decay시간을 보여 주었으며 이것은 양자장벽과의 $\Gamma$-X전이에 의한 것으로 사료되었다. GaAs양자우물에서의 luminescence decay는 두 시료 모두 1ns정도 이었으나, 15$\AA$인 경우에는 약 100ps의 rise시간이 존재하였으며 이것은 정공의 관통에 의한 시간으로 판명되었다.

  • The electric property in the $GaAs-Al_{x}Ga_{1-x}$ quantum well with the Si ${\delta}-doping$ layer in a non-central position is studied through the effect of the electric field intensity on the electron distribution. The finite difference method is used for the calculation of the subband energy level and its wavefunction. In order to account for the change of the potential energy due to the charged particles, the self consistent method is employed. As the Si ${\delta}-doping$ layer becomes closer to the heterojunction interface, the electrons less affected by Coulomb scattering are greatly increased under the external electric field. Therefore, the high speed device is suggested due to the fact that the high mobility electrons can be increased by positioning the ${\delta}-doping$ layer in the quantum well and by applying the electric field intensity.
