Scalable Synthesis of Inas Quantum Dots Mediated Through Indium Redox Chemistry Matthias Ginterseder, Daniel Franke, Collin F
pubs.acs.org/JACS Communication Scalable Synthesis of InAs Quantum Dots Mediated through Indium Redox Chemistry Matthias Ginterseder, Daniel Franke, Collin F. Perkinson, Lili Wang, Eric C. Hansen, and Moungi G. Bawendi* Cite This: J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2020, 142, 4088−4092 Read Online ACCESS Metrics & More Article Recommendations *sı Supporting Information ABSTRACT: Next-generation optoelectronic applications centered in the near-infrared (NIR) and short-wave infrared (SWIR) wavelength regimes require high-quality materials. Among these materials, colloidal InAs quantum dots (QDs) stand out as an infrared-active candidate material for biological imaging, lighting, and sensing applications. Despite significant development of their optical properties, the synthesis of InAs QDs still routinely relies on hazardous, commercially unavailable precursors. Herein, we describe a straightforward single hot injection procedure revolving around In(I)Cl as the key precursor. Acting as a simultaneous reducing agent and In source, In(I)Cl smoothly reacts with a tris(amino)arsenic precursor to yield colloidal InAs quantitatively and at gram scale. Tuning the reaction temperature produces InAs cores with a first excitonic absorption feature in the range of 700− 1400 nm. A dynamic disproportionation equilibrium between In(I), In metal, and In(III) opens up additional flexibility in precursor selection. CdSe shell growth on the produced cores enhances their optical properties, furnishing particles with center emission wavelengths between 1000 and 1500 nm and narrow photoluminescence full-width at half-maximum (FWHM) of about 120 meV throughout. The simplicity, scalability, and tunability of the disclosed precursor platform are anticipated to inspire further research on In-based colloidal QDs. -
III-V Material Properties Welcome to This Section on III-V PV Technology. in This Video We Will Discuss the Material
III-V Material Properties Welcome to this section on III-V PV technology. In this video we will discuss the material properties of the semiconductors used for this technology. In this video, you will learn what the III-V PV technology exactly is and how it is different from other solar cell technologies. We will then discuss the structural properties of III-V semiconductors. In the next video we will look into the electrical and optical properties of III- V materials. The III-V PV technology, as the name implies, utilizes elements of the 3-A group and the 5-A group in the periodic table of elements. As you might recall, group 3 elements have 3 electrons in their outer valence shell, and group 5 elements have 5 valence electrons. One of the most common III-V absorber materials is formed by bonding the group 3 material gallium, with the group 5 material arsenic. Several such combinations are possible however, and many different III-V alloys are used as an absorber material by the PV industry. Examples include Gallium phosphide, Indium phosphide, indium arsenide, Gallium indium arsenide, gallium indium phosphide, aluminium-gallium-indium-arsenide and aluminium- gallium-indium-phosphide. An important question for III-V technology is how abundant are the III- and V- elements. As discussed at the start of this course, of these five elements, only aluminium and phosphorus are relatively abundant in nature. Gallium, arsenide and germanium are not rare or precious metals, but they are much less abundant than silicon. Indium is rare and in high demand. -

Baranov et al, Optics Express, vol. 24, p18799, 2016]. “To our knowledge, the longest emission wavelength of RT cw operation for QCLs fabricated from other materials is 12.4µm,” the team reports. The thresholds are also claimed to be the lowest to-date for InAs QCLs. “One of the reasons of this progress can be attributed to the reduction of optical losses both in the waveguide itself and in the laser active region Figure 1.

Family Type and Incidence
STRAINED INDIUM ARSENIDE/GALLIUM ARSENIDE LAYER FOR QUANTUM CASCADE LASER DESIGN USING GENETIC ALGORITHM David Mueller Dr. Gregory Triplett, Dissertation Supervisor ABSTRACT Achieving high power, continuous wave, room temperature operation of midinfrared (3-5 um) lasers is diffcult due to the effects of auger recombination in band-to-band designs. Intersubband laser designs such as quantum cascade lasers reduce the effects of recombination, increasing efficiency and have advantages in large tunability of wavelength ranges. Highly efficient quantum cascade laser designs are typically used in lasers designed for >5 um wavelength operation due to the small offset of conduction band energy in lattice matched materials. Some promising material systems have been used to achieve high-power output in the first atmospheric window (3-5 um) but still suffer from low efficiency. Larger ıconduction band offset is attainable through the use of strained materials. However, these material systems have limitations on the traditional (100) crystal orientation due to the large strain and low critical thickness. The necessity for controlled two-dimensional, optical quality layer growth limits the amount of strain incorporation due to defect formation in highly lattice mis-matched layers. The material systems used in this study are GaAs (100) and (111)B, AlGaAs, and (Ga)InAs. In the initial stage of research, I found that pseudomorphic growth of highly strained InAs layers on GaAs (111)B is possible. However, the growth window is very narrow and necessitates precise control over growth temperature and anion overpressure to achieve optical quality layers. As a result, a second stage of research explores the design space made available by this finding by using genetic algorithm based design and simulation of devices with a Schrodinger-Poisson solver. -

Phd Thesis Martin Bjergfelt
UNIVERSITY OF COPENHAGEN FACULTY OF SCIENCE Center for Quantum Devices PhD thesis Martin Bjergfelt In-situ patterned superconductor/semiconductor nanowires for quantum devices Supervisor: Professor Jesper Nygard˚ Co-supervisors: Associate Professor Thomas Sand Jespersen & Elisabetta Maria Fiordaliso This thesis has been submitted to the PhD School of The Faculty of Science, University of Copenhagen on December 20, 2019 2 Abstract The quality of interfaces and surfaces is crucial for the performance of nanoscale devices. A pertinent ex- ample is the close tie between current progress in gate-tunable and topological superconductivity using su- perconductor/semiconductor electronic devices and the hard proximity-induced superconducting gap obtained from epitaxial aluminium/indium arsenide heterostructures. Fabrication of devices requires selectively etch- ing superconductor segments from the semiconductor; this is currently only possible with Al/InAs, curbing the functional use of other superconductor/semiconductor material combinations. This thesis presents a new crystal growth platform based on three-dimensional structuring of growth substrates which is independent of the choice of semiconductor and superconductor, and enables the synthesis of semiconductor nanowires with in-situ patterned superconductor shells. This wafer-scale technique enables realisation of all the most frequently used architectures in superconducting hybrid devices. Characterisation using electron transport at cryogenic temperatures revealed an increased device yield, electrostatic stability, along with evidence of ballistic super- conductivity compared to etch-processed devices. In addition to aluminium, indium arsenide nanowires with patterned indium, vanadium, tantalum and niobium shells are presented. Structural characterisation of the hybrid nanowires by transmission electron microscopy was used to cor- relate the crystallinity of the superconductor shells to the superconducting transport properties.
