Device-performances of 3.7 THz indirect-pumping quantum-cascade lasers are demonstrated in an InGaAs/InAlAs material system grown by metal-organic vapor-phase epitaxy. The lasers show a low threshold-current-density of ~420 A/cm2 and a peak output power of ~8 mW at 7 K, no

In this study we apply time resolved photoluminescence and contactless electroreflectance to study the carrier collection efficiency of a GaInNAsSb/GaAs quantum well (QW). We show that the enhancement of photoluminescence from GaInNAsSb quantum wells annealed at different temperatures originates not

We analyze the occurrence of local magnetization and the effects of electron localization in different models of quantum point contacts (QPCs) using spin-relaxed density functional theory (DFT/LSDA) by means of numerical simulations. In the case of soft confinement potentials the
Microelectronic-based sensors are ideal for real-time continuous monitoring of health states due to their low cost of production, small size, portability, and ease of integration into electronic systems. However, typically semiconductor-based devices cannot be operated in aqueous solutions, especially in

Temperature-dependent reflectivity and photoluminescence spectra are studied for undoped ultra-wide 150 and 250 nm GaAs quantum wells. It is shown that spectral features previously attributed to a size quantization of the exciton motion in the z-direction coincide well with energies
