AbstractAbstract
[en] Light emitting diodes for the visible spectral region based on planar (In,Ga)N/GaN heterostructures suffer from a high dislocation density and lack of suitable substrates. An alternative is the integration of these heterostructures into nanowires (NWs) grown on Si by molecular beam epitaxy. Indications for the absence of the quantum-confined Stark effect (QCSE) have been reported in the literature, when the piezoelectric polarization is reduced due to an efficient strain relaxation in the NW geometry. In order to elucidate the origin of the observed luminescence centered at 2.4 eV, we combine transmission electron microscopy, cathodoluminescence and micro-photoluminescence (μ-PL) spectroscopy on single NWs. The μ-PL spectra contain a combination of two types of transitions: (i) several sharp lines from localization centers, which are not affected by the excitation power and (ii) a broader band that blueshifts with higher excitation powers. The former are probably related to composition fluctuations in the (In,Ga)N, while the latter is attributed to an inter-well transition between the two 11 nm thick (In,Ga)N insertions separated by an only 2 to 3 nm thick barrier layer. The blueshift under high excitation evidences a screening of the polarization field. Thus, the QCSE appears to be present in these NW heterostructures in contrast to previous reports.

AbstractAbstract
[en] We investigate the effect of the p-type top contact on the optoelectronic characteristics of light emitting diodes (LEDs) based on (In,Ga)N/GaN nanowire (NW) ensembles grown by molecular beam epitaxy on Si substrates. We compare devices fabricated with either Ni/Au or indium tin oxide (ITO) top contact. The NW-LEDs with ITO exhibit a number density of NWs emitting electroluminescence about ten times higher, significantly lower turn-on voltage and series resistance, and a relative external quantum efficiency more than one order of magnitude higher than the sample with Ni/Au. These results show that limitations in the performance of such devices reported so far can be overcome by improving the p-type top-contact.

AbstractAbstract
[en] Hot-wall-epitaxy growth of Bi2Se3, Bi2Te3 and Sb2Te3 films is carried out on Si as well as GaAs surfaces. For Bi2Se3, self-assembled dots are formed at the initial stage of the growth due to the large lattice mismatch. The dots expand in a way to fill the whole substrate surface with (0 0 0 1)-oriented domains. While no in-plane epitaxial orientation relationship is established between the films and the substrates, the influence of the substrates is reflected in the morphology of the films. Throughout the growth, micrometer-size free-standing disks are spontaneously generated and eventually cover the whole surface. The disk geometry manifests that the Bi2Se3 crystal grows preferentially in the in-plane directions of the (0 0 0 1)-plane. For Bi2Te3 and Sb2Te3, we experience thermal decomposition. Although nanowires can be generated under low source-flux intensities, they are solely composed of Te as a consequence. Owing to different solidification temperatures, we obtain Bi2Te3 islands when the substrate temperature is raised. The surface of these islands is remarkably flat and the typical thickness is less than 10 nm

AbstractAbstract
[en] GaN nanowire ensembles with axial InxGa1−xN multi-quantum-wells (MQWs) were grown by molecular beam epitaxy. In a series of samples we varied the In content in the MQWs from almost zero to around 20%. Within the nanowire ensemble, the MQWs fluctuate strongly in composition and size. Statistical information about the composition was obtained from x-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy. Photoluminescence at room temperature was obtained in the range of 2.2 to 2.5 eV, depending on In content. Contrary to planar MQWs, the intensity increases with increasing In content. We compare the observed emission energies with transition energies obtained from a one-dimensional model, and conclude that several mechanisms for carrier localization affect the luminescence of these three-dimensional structures.

AbstractAbstract
[en] Light emitting diodes (LEDs) have been fabricated using ensembles of free-standing (In, Ga)N/GaN nanowires (NWs) grown on Si substrates in the self-induced growth mode by molecular beam epitaxy. Electron-beam-induced current analysis, cathodoluminescence as well as biased μ-photoluminescence spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and electrical measurements indicate that the electroluminescence of such LEDs is governed by the differences in the individual current densities of the single-NW LEDs operated in parallel, i.e. by the inhomogeneity of the current path in the ensemble LED. In addition, the optoelectronic characterization leads to the conclusion that these NWs exhibit N-polarity and that the (In, Ga)N quantum well states in the NWs are subject to a non-vanishing quantum confined Stark effect.

AbstractAbstract
[en] This paper assesses nonpolar m- and a-plane GaN/Al(Ga)N multi-quantum-wells grown on bulk GaN for intersubband optoelectronics in the short- and mid-wavelength infrared ranges. The characterization results are compared to those for reference samples grown on the polar c-plane, and are verified by self-consistent Schrödinger-Poisson calculations. The best results in terms of mosaicity, surface roughness, photoluminescence linewidth and intensity, as well as intersubband absorption are obtained from m-plane structures, which display room-temperature intersubband absorption in the range from 1.5 to 2.9 μm. Based on these results, a series of m-plane GaN/AlGaN multi-quantum-wells were designed to determine the accessible spectral range in the mid-infrared. These samples exhibit tunable room-temperature intersubband absorption from 4.0 to 5.8 μm, the long-wavelength limit being set by the absorption associated with the second order of the Reststrahlen band in the GaN substrates

AbstractAbstract
[en] This paper assesses intersubband (ISB) transitions in the 1–10 THz frequency range in nonpolar m-plane GaN/AlGaN multi-quantum-wells deposited on free-standing semi-insulating GaN substrates. The quantum wells (QWs) were designed to contain two confined electronic levels, decoupled from the neighboring wells. Structural analysis reveals flat and regular QWs in the two perpendicular in-plane directions, with high-angle annular dark-field scanning transmission electron microscopy images showing inhomogeneities of the Al composition in the barriers along the growth axis. We do not observe extended structural defects (stacking faults or dislocations) introduced by the epitaxial process. Low-temperature ISB absorption from 1.5 to 9 THz (6.3–37.4 meV) is demonstrated, covering most of the 7–10 THz band forbidden to GaAs-based technologies. (paper)

AbstractAbstract
[en] This paper assesses the effects of Si doping on the properties of nonpolar m-plane GaN/AlGaN quantum wells (QWs) designed for intersubband (ISB) absorption in the far-infrared spectral range. For doping levels up to 3 × 10"1"2 cm"−"2, structural analysis reveals uniform QWs with abrupt interfaces and no epitaxially induced defects. Cathodoluminescence spectroscopy confirms the homogeneity of the multiple QWs along the growth direction. Increasing the doping density in the QWs from 1 × 10"1"1 cm"−"2 to 3 × 10"1"2 cm"−"2 induces a broadening of the photoluminescence as well as a reduction of the exciton localization energy in the alloy. Also, enhancement of the ISB absorption is observed, along with a blue shift and widening of the absorption peak. The magnitude of the ISB absorption saturates for doping levels around 1 × 10"1"2 cm"−"2, and the blue shift and broadening increase less than theoretically predicted for the samples with higher doping levels. This is explained by the presence of free carriers in the excited electron level due to the increase of the Fermi level energy. (paper)

AbstractAbstract
[en] GaN several tens of μ m thick has been deposited on a silicon substrate using a two-step hydride vapor phase epitaxy (HVPE) process. The substrates were covered by AlN layers and GaN nanostructures grown by plasma-assisted molecular-beam epitaxy. During the first low-temperature (low- T ) HVPE step, stacking faults (SF) form, which show distinct luminescence lines and stripe-like features in the cathodoluminescence images of the cross-section of the layers. These cathodoluminescence features provide an insight into the growth process. During a second high-temperature (high- T ) step, the SFs disappear, and the luminescence of this part of the GaN layer is dominated by the donor-bound exciton. For templates consisting of both a thin AlN buffer and GaN nanostructures, the incorporation of silicon into the GaN grown by HVPE is not observed. Moreover, the growth mode of the (high- T ) HVPE step depends on the specific structure of the AlN/GaN template, where in the first case, epitaxy is dominated by the formation of slowly growing facets, while in the second case, epitaxy proceeds directly along the c -axis. For templates without GaN nanostructures, cathodoluminescence spectra excited close to the Si/GaN interface show a broadening toward higher energies, indicating the incorporation of silicon at a high dopant level.

AbstractAbstract
[en] We demonstrate the fabrication of N-face GaN nanorods by metal organic vapour phase epitaxy (MOVPE), using continuous-flux conditions. This is in contrast to other approaches reported so far, which have been based on growth modes far off the conventional growth regimes. For position control of nanorods an SiO2 masking layer with a dense hole pattern on a c-plane sapphire substrate was used. Nanorods with InGaN/GaN heterostructures have been grown catalyst-free. High growth rates up to 25 μm h-1 were observed and a well-adjusted carrier gas mixture between hydrogen and nitrogen enabled homogeneous nanorod diameters down to 220 nm with aspect ratios of approximately 8:1. The structural quality and defect progression within nanorods were determined by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Different emission energies for InGaN quantum wells (QWs) could be assigned to different side facets by room temperature cathodoluminescence (CL) measurements.
