We present first-principles calculations of AlGaN/GaN superlattice, clarifying the microscopic origin of the light emission and revealing the effect of local polarization within the quantum well. Profile of energy band and distributions of electrons and holes demonstrate the existence of a main active site in the well responsible for the main band-edge light emission. This site appears at the position where the local polarization becomes zero. With charge injection, the calculated optical spectra show that the broadening of the band gap at the active site leads to the blueshift of emission wavelength.

Graphene offers a possibility for actively controlling plasmon confinement and propagation by tailoring its spatial conductivity pattern. However, implementation of this concept has been hampered because uncontrollable plasmon reflection is easily in
duced by inhomogeneous dielectric environment. In this work, we demonstrate full electrical control of plasmon reflection/transmission at electronic boundaries induced by a zinc-oxide-based dual gate, which is designed to minimize the dielectric modulation. Using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, we show that the plasmon reflection can be varied continuously with the carrier density difference between the adjacent regions. By utilizing this functionality, we show the ability to control size, position, and frequency of plasmon cavities. Our approach can be applied to various types of plasmonic devices, paving the way for implementing a programmable plasmonic circuit.
We present the combined analysis of the electroluminescence (EL) as well as the current-voltage (I-V) behavior of single, freestanding (In,Ga)N/GaN nanowire (NW) light-emitting diodes (LEDs) in an unprocessed, self-assembled ensemble grown by molecul
ar beam epitaxy. The data were acquired in a scanning electron microscope equipped with a micromanipulator and a luminescence detection system. Single NW spectra consist of emission lines originating from different quantum wells, and the width of the spectra increases with decreasing peak emission energy. The corresponding I-V characteristics are described well by the modified Shockley equation. The key advantage of this measurement approach is the possibility to correlate the EL intensity of a single NW LED with the actual current density in this NW. This way, the external quantum efficiency (EQE) can be investigated as a function of the current in a single NW LED. The comparison of the EQE characteristic of single NWs and the ensemble device allows a quite accurate determination of the actual number of emitting NWs in the working ensemble LED and the respective current densities in its individual NWs. This information is decisive for a meaningful and comprehensive characterization of a NW ensemble device, rendering the measurement approach employed here a very powerful analysis tool.
In the experimental electroluminescence (EL) spectra of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) based on N-polar (In,Ga)N/GaN nanowires (NWs), we observed a double peak structure. The relative intensity of the two peaks evolves in a peculiar way with injected c
urrent. Spatially and spectrally resolved EL maps confirmed the presence of two main transitions in the spectra, and suggested that they are emitted by the majority of single nano-LEDs. In order to elucidate the physical origin of this effect, we performed theoretical calculations of the strain, electric field, and charge density distributions both for planar LEDs and NW-LEDs. On this basis, we simulated also the EL spectra of these devices, which exhibit a double peak structure for N-polar heterostructures, both in the NW and the planar case. In contrast, this feature is not observed when Ga-polar planar LEDs are simulated. We found that the physical origin of the double peak structure is a stronger quantum-confined Stark effect occurring in the first and last quantum well of the N-polar heterostructures. The peculiar evolution of the relative peak intensities with injected current, seen only in the case of the NW-LED, is attributed to the three-dimensional strain variation resulting from elastic relaxation at the free sidewalls of the NWs. Therefore, this study provides important insights on the working principle of N-polar LEDs based on both planar and NW heterostructures.
We investigate multiple scattering of near-resonant light in a Doppler-broadened atomic vapor. We experimentally characterize the length distribution of the steps between successive scattering events. The obtained power law is characteristic of a sup
erdiffusive behavior, where rare but very long steps (Levy flights) dominate the transport properties.
We analyze the energy spectrum of graphene in the presence of spin-orbit coupling and a unidirectionally periodic Zeeman field, focusing on the stability and location of Dirac points it may support. It is found that the Dirac points at the $K$ and $K
$ points are generically moved to other locations in the Brillouin zone, but that they remain present when the Zeeman field $vec{Delta}(x)$ integrates to zero within a unit cell. A large variety of locations for the Dirac points is shown to be possible: when $vecDelta parallel hat{z}$ they are shifted from their original locations along the direction perpendicular to the superlattice axis, while realizations of $vecDelta(x)$ that rotate periodically move the Dirac points to locations that can reflect the orbit of the rotating electron spin as it moves through a unit cell. When a uniform Zeeman field is applied in addition to a periodic $vecDelta parallel hat{z}$ integrating to zero, the system can be brought into a metallic, Dirac semimetal, or insulating state, depending on the direction of the uniform field. The latter is shown to be an anomalous quantum Hall insulator.
