We investigate the nature of excitons bound to I1 basal-plane stacking faults [(I1;X)] in GaN nanowire ensembles by continuous-wave and time-resolved photoluminescence spectroscopy. Based on the linear increase of the radiative lifetime of…
We perform correlated studies of individual GaN nanowires in scanning electron microscopy combined to low temperature cathodoluminescence, microphotoluminescence, and scanning transmission electron microscopy. We show that some nanowires…
Using time-resolved photoluminescence spectroscopy, we explore the transient behavior of bound and free excitons in GaN nanowire ensembles. We investigate samples with distinct diameter distributions and show that the pronounced…
We investigate the origin of the fast recombination dynamics of bound and free excitons in GaN nanowire ensembles by temperature-dependent photoluminescence spectroscopy using both continuous-wave and pulsed excitation. The exciton…
We study the dynamics of excitons in GaAs/(Al,Ga)As core-shell nanowires by continuous-wave and time-resolved photoluminescence and photoluminescence excitation spectroscopy. Strong Al segregation in the shell of the nanowires leads to the…
Basal-plane stacking faults are an important class of optically active structural defects in wurtzite semiconductors. The local deviation from the 2H stacking of the wurtzite matrix to a 3C zinc-blende stacking induces a bound state in the…
Quantum confinement profoundly affects the properties and interactions of electrons, holes, and excitons in nanomaterials. We apply first-principles calculations to study the effects of extreme quantum confinement on the electronic,…
We observe unusually narrow donor-bound exciton transitions (0.4 meV) in the photoluminescence spectra of GaN nanowire ensembles grown on Si(111) substrates at very high (> 850 degrees Celsius) temperatures. The spectra of these samples…
We report on the exciton spin dynamics of nanowire embedded GaN/AlN Quantum Dots (QDs) investigated by time-resolved photoluminescence spectroscopy. Under a linearly polarized quasiresonant excitation we evidence the quenching of the…
The optical properties of excitons confined in initially-unstrained GaAs/AlGaAs quantum dots are studied as a function of a variable quasi-uniaxial stress. To allow the validation of state-of-the-art computational tools for describing the…
We present an optical spectroscopy study of non-polar GaN/AlN quantum dots by time-resolved photoluminescence and by microphotoluminescence. Isolated quantum dots exhibit sharp emission lines, with linewidths in the 0.5-2 meV range due to…
Using an approximate time-dependent density functional theory method, we calculate the absorption and luminescence spectra for hydrogen passivated silicon nanoscale structures with large aspect ratio. The effect of electron confinement in…
In this paper, we describe the design and characterization of 400-nm-long (88 periods) AlxGa1-xN/AlN (0 < x < 0.1) quantum dot superlattices deposited on self-assembled GaN nanowires for application in electron-pumped ultraviolet sources.…
Axially-stacked quantum dots (QDs) in nanowires (NWs) have important applications in fabricating nanoscale quantum devices and lasers. Although their performances are very sensitive to crystal quality and structures, there is relatively…
We investigate exciton states theoretically in strained GaN/AlN quantum dots with wurtzite (WZ) and zinc-blende (ZB) crystal structures, as well as strained WZ GaN/AlGaN quantum dots. We show that the strain field significantly modifies the…
Quantum-dot-in-nanowire systems constitute building blocks for advanced photonics and sensing applications. The electronic symmetry of the emitters impacts their function capabilities. Here, we study the fine structure of gallium-rich…
The realization of semiconductor structures with stable excitons at room temperature is crucial for the development of excitonics and polaritonics. Quantum confinement has commonly been employed for enhancing excitonic effects in…
Quantum dots are semiconductor nano-structures where particle motion is confined in all three spatial dimensions. Since their first experimental realization, nanocrystals confining the quanta of polarization waves, termed excitons, have…
Formation of excitonic states in quantum dots of nitride based III-V semiconductors GaN and AlN including coulomb and exchange interactions are investigated. Dark exciton formation is found to occur for both GaN quantum dots(QDs) with…
