By carrying out Monte Carlo simulations based on the two-species atomic-scale kinetic growth model of GaAs(001) homoepitaxy and comparing the results with scanning tunneling microscope images, we show that initial growing islands undergo the structural transformation before adopting the proper beta2(2x4) reconstruction.

Avalanche photodiodes fabricated from AlInAsSb grown as a digital alloy exhibit low excess noise. In this paper, we investigate the band structure-related mechanisms that influence impact ionization. Band-structures calculated using an empirical tigh t-binding method and Monte Carlo simulations reveal that the mini-gaps in the conduction band do not inhibit electron impact ionization. Good agreement between the full band Monte Carlo simulations and measured noise characteristics is demonstrated.

The pyramid-to-dome transition in Ge$_{x}$Si$_{1-x}$ on Si(100) initiated by step bunching on pyramidal quantum dots is atomistically simulated using a novel multi-state lattice model incorporating effective surface reconstructions. Results are expla ined by a simple theory based on a shallow island approximation. Under given deposition conditions in $d$ dimensions, the shape transition is shown to occur at island size $n_c$ following $n_c^{1/d} propto x^{-zeta}$ independent of temperature and deposition rate, where $zetaalt 2$ and $x$ is the actual Ge concentration in the island. The transition has an energy barrier dominated by the facet interface energy. Fast deposition however can out-run and delay the transition to larger island sizes.
We present the results of Monte Carlo simulations of the magnetic properties of a model for a single nanoparticle consisting in a ferromagnetic core surrounded by an antiferromagnetic shell. The simulations of hysteresis loops after cooling in a magn etic field display exchange bias effects. In order to understand the origin of the loop shifts, we have studied the thermal dependence of the shell and interface magnetizations under field cooling. These results, together with inspection of the snapshots of the configurations attained at low temperature, show the existence of a net magnetization at the interface which is responsible for the bias of the hysteresis loops.

We present a computer simulation of exciton-exciton scattering in a quantum well. Specifically, we use quantum Monte Carlo techniques to study the bound and continuum states of two excitons in a 10 nm wide GaAs/Al$_{0.3}$Ga$_{0.7}$As quantum well. Fr om these bound and continuum states we extract the momentum-dependent phase shifts for s-wave scattering. A surprising finding of this work is that a commonly studied effective-mass mode for excitons in a 10 nm quantum well actually supports two bound biexciton states. The second, weakly bound state may dramatically enhance exciton-exciton interactions. We also fit our results to a hard-disk model and indicate directions for future work.
Despite its potential in the fields of optoelectronics and topological insulators, experimental electronic band structure studies of Bi-doped GaAs are scarce. The reason is the complexity of growth which tends to leave bulk and in particular surface properties in an undefined state. Here we present an in depth investigation of structural and electronic properties of GaAsBi epilayers grown by molecular beam epitaxy with high (001) crystalline order and well-defined surface structures evident from low-energy electron diffraction. X-ray and ultraviolet photoemission spectrocopy as well as angle-resolved photoemission data at variable photon energies allows to disentangle a Bi-rich surface layer with $(1times3)$ symmetry from the effects of Bi atoms incorporated in the GaAs bulk matrix. The influence of Bi concentrations up to $approx 1$% integrated in the GaAs bulk are visible in angle-resolved photoemission spectra after mild ion bombardment and subsequent annealing steps. Interpretation of our results is obtained via density functional theory simulations of bulk and $beta 2(2times 4)$ reconstructed slab geometries with and without Bi. Bi-induced energy shifts in the dispersion of GaAs heavy and light hole bulk bands are evident both in experiment and theory, which are relevant for modulations in the optical band gap and thus optoelectronic applications.
