Large-supercell tight-binding calculations are presented for GaBi$_{x}$As$_{1-x}$/GaAs single quantum wells (QWs) with Bi fractions $x$ of 3.125% and 12.5%. Our results highlight significant distortion of the valence band states due to the…

Recently, there has been tremendous research interest in novel bismide semiconductor materials (such as GaBi$_x$As$_{1-x}$) for wavelength-engineered, low-loss optoelectronic devices. We report a first study of the quantum confined Stark…
A model including random alloy disorder is used to account for the outstanding optical properties of InGaN quantum wells (QW). The model provides excellent agreement to experimental observations on various structures. This study clarifies…
The incorporation of bismuth (Bi) in GaAs results in a large reduction of the band gap energy (E$_g$) accompanied with a large increase in the spin-orbit splitting energy ($\bigtriangleup_{SO}$), leading to the condition that…
Optical and electrical characteristics of AlGaAs lasers with separate confinement heterostructures are modeled by using Synopsys's Sentaurus TCAD, and open source software. The results for cases of 2-QW (2 Quantum Wells) and 3-QW structures…

We present an atomistic description of the electronic and optical properties of $\text{In}_{0.25}\text{Ga}_{0.75}$N/GaN quantum wells. Our analysis accounts for fluctuations of well width, local alloy composition, strain and built-in field…
Aluminium Gallium Nitride ((Al,Ga)N) presents an ideal platform for designing ultra-violet (UV) light emitters across the entire UV spectral range. However, in the deep-UV spectral range (<280 nm) these emitters exhibit very low quantum…
In this work, we study the impact that random alloy fluctuations have on the distribution of electrons and holes across the active region of a (In,Ga)N/GaN multi-quantum well based light emitting diode (LED). To do so, an atomistic…
This letter reports on the growth, structure and luminescent properties of individual multiple quantum well (MQW) AlGaAs nanowires (NWs). The composition modulations (MQWs) are obtained by alternating the elemental flux of Al and Ga during…
The authors theoretically investigate quantum confinement and transition energies in quantum wells (QWs) asymmetrically positioned in wrinkled nanomembranes. Calculations reveal that the wrinkle profile induces both blue- and redshifts…

Properties of quantum dot based spin qubits have significant inter-device variability due to unavoidable presence of various types of disorder in semiconductor nanostructures. A significant source of this variability is charge disorder at…
We demonstrate that quantum well states (QWS) of thin Pb films are highly perturbed within the proximity of intrinsic film defects. Scanning Tunneling Spectroscopy (STM/STS) measurements indicate that the energy of these states have a…
