The laser heterodyne photothermal displacement (LH-PD) method was used to characterize the nonradiative recombination centers of semiconductors, such as defects and deep-lying electronic levels. When a semiconductor surface is irradiated with a modulated continuous wave laser, the irradiated area is periodically heated and expanded owing to the nonradiative recombination of the photoexcited carriers. The LH-PD can measure an absolute value of surface displacement and its time variation at various excitation beam frequencies (f e x). Si and GaAs substrate samples were used to confirm the usefulness of the proposed method. The obtained time variation of the surface displacement was well explained by theoretical calculations considering the carrier generation, diffusion, recombination, heat diffusion, and generated thermal strain. Because nonradiative carrier recombination generates local heat at defects in semiconductors, the LH-PD technique is useful for analyzing defect distributions. Additionally, measurements of intentional Fe-contaminated Si samples confirmed that this technique is suitable for defect mapping. Displacement mapping with changing f e x suggests the potential to measure the distribution of nonradiative recombination centers in the sample depth direction.

The role of a GaAs strain-relaxation interlayer inserted into InGaAs/GaAsP superlattice solar cells was evaluated by measuring the piezo- electric photothermal (PPT) signals in the temperature range from 100 K to a device operation temperature of around 340 K. The PPT signals caused by the non-radiative recombination of electrons photo-excited to the first quantized level were observed. The temperature- dependent PPT signal intensities were assessed using an electron carrier relaxation model comprising four processes: radiative recombina- tion, non-radiative recombination, thermionic emission, and tunneling of carriers through the e2-miniband after thermal excitation from the e1-level. The contribution of holes in the hh1 state was also included in this model, in which e1 and e2 are the first and second electron levels in the conduction band, respectively, and hh1 is the first heavy hole level in the valence band of the quantum wells. A similar analysis was conducted using photoluminescence (PL) spectra to elucidate the carrier transition dynamics in greater detail, because PPT and PL measurements are complementary to each other in terms of non-radiative and radiative electron transitions. Consequently, although the non-radiative recombination remained dominant around room temperature, the quantum yield of the carrier tunneling process increased and became comparable to that of non-radiative recombination. This implies that the recombination loss of the photo-excited carriers is suppressed by the insertion of the GaAs interlayer. By clarifying the role of the inserted interlayer with respect to the non-radiative recombi- nation process, the usefulness of the PPT method is demonstrated.

Effectiveness of AlGaAs barrier layers as a redistribution channel of photoexcited carriers on anomalous temperature dependence of photoluminescence properties of GaAs quantum dots Reviewed
Y. Miyauchi, T. Ikari, T. Mano, T. Noda, A. Fukuyama
Journal of Applied Physics 128 055701-1 - 055701-9 2020.8
Language:English Publishing type:Research paper (scientific journal)
Photoluminescence (PL) measurements at a wide temperature range, up to room temperature, for high-quality and high-density GaAs/AlGaAs quantum dots (QDs) fabricated by droplet epitaxy were carried out to investigate the anomalous temperature dependence of the PL peak energy from the QD ensemble. In addition to a reported redshift that deviated from the so-called Varshni’s curve of the PL peak energy in the low temperature region, a new blueshift was observed above 200 K. We analyzed the experimental results using a steady- state rate equation model and observed a good agreement. The distribution of the QD sizes and the presence of the AlGaAs barrier layer as a carrier coupling channel were considered in this model. This means that the wetting layer proposed thus far is not a necessary condition for explaining the anomalous temperature behavior of the PL properties. In addition, it was found that the anomalous temperature behavior was smeared out by the insertion of a GaAs height adjustment layer in order to homogenize the apparent QD size. We found that sufficient control of the QD size is a necessary factor for high temperature stability of QD devices.
