研究目的
Investigating the spin-conserved electron transport to self-assembled InGaAs quantum dots through GaAs/AlGaAs superlattice and its dependence on the AlGaAs barrier thickness.
研究成果
The study demonstrates that spin-polarized electrons generated in the superlattice are transferred to quantum dots while highly maintaining the electron-spin polarization during the transport process, especially in superlattices with thinner barriers. This approach has advantages for semiconductor spin transport in terms of conserving spin-polarized states.
研究不足
The study is limited to low-temperature measurements (6 K) and specific sample configurations, which may not represent all possible conditions for spin transport in quantum dots.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study uses circularly polarized time-resolved photoluminescence spectroscopy to investigate spin transport properties.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Two layers of In
3:5Ga5As QDs were grown by molecular beam epitaxy on GaAs(100) substrates. Two types of GaAs/Al15Ga85As SL layers with different AlGaAs barrier thicknesses were grown on the QD layers. List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Molecular beam epitaxy for sample growth, photoluminescence spectroscopy setup including circular polarization discrimination and time-resolved measurements.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Photoluminescence spectroscopy was performed at 6 K with varying excitation energy to selectively excite the SL minibands.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
Rate equations based on previous reports were used to fit the circularly-polarized PL time profiles.
