We demonstrate a method to grow height controlled, dislocation-free InGaAs quantum posts (QPs) on GaAs by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) which is confirmed by structural investigations. The optical properties are compared to realistic 8-band k.p calculations of the electronic structure which fully account for strain and the structural properties of the QP. Using QPs embedded in n-i-p junctions we find wide range tunability of the interband spectrum and giant static dipole moments.

Self-assembled, semimetallic ErSb single crystal nanostructures, grown by molecular beam epitaxy, are embedded within a semiconductor GaSb matrix. Formation, evolution and orientation of a variety of nanostructures, including spherical nanoparticles,
elongated nanorods, octagonal shaped nanowires oriented along the surface normal and nanowires oriented in the growth plane, are controlled simply by the Er fraction. The plasmonic properties of the semimetal/semiconductor composites are characterized and quantified by three polarization-resolved spectroscopy techniques, spanning more than three orders of magnitude in frequency from 100 GHz up to 300 THz. The effect of the size, shape and orientation of the nanostructures is characterized by polarization-sensitive response and modeled by a Maxwell-Garnett effective medium theory.
In this study we numerically calculate the spatial profile of mechanical strain on self-assembled germanium (Ge) quantum dots (QDs) grown on a silicon (Si) substrate. Although the topic has been exhaustively studied, interesting features have not bee
n explained or even mentioned in the literature yet. We studied the effect of the cap layer considering two cases: capped QDs (where a Si cap is present above the Ge QDs) and uncapped QDs (where no Si is present above the Ge QDs). We observed that Ge in the capped QDs is more strained compared with the the uncapped QDs. This expected effect is attributed to the additional tension from the Si cap layer. However, the situation is opposite for the Si substrate, it is more strained in the uncapped QD because the Ge layer is less strained in this case. We also calculated the band-edge alignment for the electrons and holes.
We present a comprehensive study of the optical properties of InAs/InP self-assembled quantum dots (QDs) using an empirical pseudopotential method and configuration interaction treatment of the many-particle effects. The results are compared to those
of InAs/GaAs QDs. The main results are: (i) The alignment of emission lines of neutral exciton, charged exciton and biexciton in InAs/InP QDs is quite different from that in InAs/GaAs QDs. (ii) The hidden correlation in InAs/InP QDs is 0.7 - 0.9 meV, smaller than that in InAs/GaAs QDs. (iii) The radiative lifetimes of neutral exciton, charged exciton and biexciton in InAs/InP QDs are about twice longer than those in InAs/GaAs QDs. (v) The phase diagrams of few electrons and holes in InAs/InP QDs differ greatly from those in InAs/GaAs QDs. The filling orders of electrons and holes are shown to obey the Hunds rule and Aufbau principle, and therefore the photoluminescence spectra of highly charged excitons are very different from those of InAs/GaAs QDs.
Multiferroic materials have driven significant research interest due to their promising technological potential. Developing new room-temperature multiferroics and understanding their fundamental properties are important to reveal unanticipated physic
al phenomena and potential applications. Here, a new room temperature multiferroic nanocomposite comprised of an ordered ferrimagnetic spinel LiFe5O8 (LFO) and a ferroelectric perovskite BiFeO3 (BFO) is presented. We observed that lithium (Li)-doping in BFO favors the formation of LFO spinel as a secondary phase during the synthesis of LixBi1-xFeO3 nanoceramics. Multimodal functional and chemical imaging methods are used to map the relationship between doping-induced phase separation and local ferroic properties in both the BFO-LFO composite ceramics and self-assembled nanocomposite thin films. The energetics of phase separation in Li doped BFO and the formation of BFO-LFO composites is supported by first principles calculations. These findings shed light on Li-ion role in the formation of a functionally important room temperature multiferroic and open a new approach in the synthesis of light element doped nanocomposites.
In this work we report on the controlled fabrication of a self-assembled line network in highly epitaxial BiFeO3 thin films on top of LaAlO3 in the kinetically limited grown region by RF sputtering. As previously shown in the case of manganite thin f
ilms, the remarkable degree of ordering is achieved using vicinal substrates with well-defined step-terrace morphology. Nanostructured BiFeO3 thin films show mixed-phase morphology. Besides typical formation following (100) and (010) axes, some mixed phase nanodomains are detected also in-between the regular line network. These particular microstructures open a playground for future applications in multiferroic nanomaterials.
