研究目的
Investigating the radiative properties of InGaAs nanomembranes under external mechanical stress to achieve ultrawide tunability of light emission.
研究成果
The research demonstrates that mechanical stress in InGaAs nanomembranes can effectively tune the emission wavelength over a spectral range of at least 250 nm, suggesting potential for ultrawide tunable semiconductor lasers. The study highlights the advantages of strain engineering in semiconductor materials for optoelectronic applications.
研究不足
The study is limited by the onset of plastic relaxation or delamination at high strains, preventing further tuning beyond 1.16% strain. Additionally, strain inhomogeneities lead to broadening of emission spectra.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study involves the fabrication of InGaAs nanomembranes and their characterization under mechanical stress to observe changes in light emission properties.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
A 100-nm-thick (001) In
3:53Ga47As film grown by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) on an In52Al48As layer on InP was used. List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
The setup includes a gas pressure cell for applying stress, X-ray diffraction (XRD) system for strain measurement, and a photoluminescence (PL) setup for emission analysis.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The nanomembrane was released from its substrate, transferred onto a polyimide film, and subjected to controlled gas pressure to induce strain. PL measurements were conducted at room temperature.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
Strain was calculated from XRD data, and PL spectra were analyzed to determine emission wavelength shifts.
