Si Quantum Dot Photonics

  • Exciton-Bohr radius of Si is ~5nm. (~18nm for Ge)
  • Because of (possible) quantum confinements, Si QDs smaller than 5nm, can emit light from the near infrared throughout

the visible with quantum efficiencies in excess of 10%.

  • Radiative transition rates increase due to the confinement of e-h pairs.

Photoluminescence in NIR to UV from Si quantum dots (QD) of various size*

Multiple Exciton Generation in Si Quantum Dots

M.C. Beard, Nano. Lett. 7, 2506 (2007)

  • Multiple bound e-h pairs (excitons) can be generated in Si nanocrystals (9.5 nm) upon photon absorption of energy greater

than twice the band gap.

  • The exciton production quantum was found to be 2.6 excitons per absorbed photon at 3.4Eg.

Si1-xGex Nanowire Crystals: Optical Band-Edge Absorption

Band-Gap Modulation in Si1-xGex Nanowires

  • The optical band-edge of 0.68eV and 1.05eV for Ge and Si nanowires, and these values agree with the energy band-gaps
  • f bulk Ge and Si crystals of 0.65eV and 1.12eV.
  • The optical band-edge in various Si1-xGex nanowires systematically shifts from that of Si nanowires to that of Ge nanowires

with increasing Ge content.

  • We observed strong blue-shift of optical band-edge for thinner nanowires whose diameter is smaller than 10nm. (Exciton-

Bohr radius of 4.7nm for Si and 17.7nm for Ge)

Spatially Resolved Optoelectronic Measurements

532 nm Laser

Diffraction limit : . . A N k R λ × = Δ k : technical constant (~0.61)

  • N. A. : numerical aperture (0.5, 0.9)

= 360 nm, 650 nm

  • A new experimental setup based on a scanned laser confocal microscope allows combined

measurements of “spatially resolved” electroluminescence and photoconductivity.

  • The setup also allows the “spectral measurements” of electroluminescence and correlated photon

counting.

  • With the addition of an ultrafast laser, it should also allow “time-resolved measurements”.

  • The PC for Ge NWs is more than two orders of magnitude higher than that of Si NWs. This PC enhancement in Ge NWs

is even more pronounced at lower light intensity.

  • Ge NW can be an excellent candidate for polarization-sensitive nanoscale photodetectors especially in the visible range.
  • Ge NWs show extremely sensitive photoresponse especially at a low intensity regime, which is attributed to the internal

gain mechanism, originating from the surface state filling. Ge Nanowire Photodetector
