We study the formation and decay of electron-hole droplets in diamonds at both low and high temperatures under different excitations by master equations. The calculation reveals that at low temperature the kinetics of the system behaves as in direct-gap semiconductors, whereas at high temperature it shows metastability as in traditional indirect-gap semiconductors. Our results at low temperature are consistent with the experimental findings by Nagai {em et al.} [Phys. Rev. B {bf 68}, 081202 (R) (2003)]. The kinetics of the e-h system in diamonds at high temperature under both low and high excitations is also predicted.

Multiexcitons in monolayer WSe2 exhibit a suite of optoelectronic phenomena that are unique to those of their single exciton constituents. Here, photoluminescence action spectroscopy shows that multiexciton formation is enhanced with increasing optic al excitation energy. This enhancement is attributed to the multiexciton formation processes from an electron-hole plasma and results in over 300% more multiexciton emission than at lower excitation energies at 4 K. The energetic onset of the enhancement coincides with the quasiparticle bandgap, corroborating the role of the electron-hole plasma, and the enhancement diminishes with increasing temperature. The results reveal that the strong interactions responsible for ultrafast exciton formation also affect multiexciton phenomena, and both multiexciton and single exciton states play significant roles in plasma thermalization in 2D semiconductors.

We demonstrated the cancellation of the external magnetic field by the nuclear field at one edge of the nuclear polarization bistability in single InAlAs quantum dots. The cancellation for the electron Zeeman splitting gives the precise value of the hole g-factor. By combining with the exciton g-factor that is obtained from the Zeeman splitting for linearly polarized excitation, the magnitude and sign of the electron and hole g-factors in the growth direction are evaluated.
We have investigated InGaAs layers grown by molecular-beam epitaxy on GaAs(001) by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and photoluminescence spectroscopy. InGaAs layers with In-concentrations of 16, 25 and 28 % and respective thicknesses of 20, 22 and 23 monolayers were deposited at 535 C. The parameters were chosen to grow layers slightly above and below the transition between the two- and three-dimensional growth mode. In-concentration profiles were obtained from high-resolution TEM images by composition evaluation by lattice fringe analysis. The measured profiles can be well described applying the segregation model of Muraki et al. [Appl. Phys. Lett. 61 (1992) 557]. Calculated photoluminescence peak positions on the basis of the measured concentration profiles are in good agreement with the experimental ones. Evaluating experimental In-concentration profiles it is found that the transition from the two-dimensional to the three-dimensional growth mode occurs if the indium content in the In-floating layer exceeds 1.1+/-0.2 monolayers. The measured exponential decrease of the In-concentration within the cap layer on top of the islands reveals that the In-floating layer is not consumed during island formation. The segregation efficiency above the islands is increased compared to the quantum wells which is explained tentatively by strain-dependent lattice-site selection of In. In addition, In0.25Ga0.75As quantum wells were grown at different temperatures between 500 oC and 550 oC. The evaluation of concentration profiles shows that the segregation efficiency increases from R=0.65 to R=0.83.
The possibility of propagation of second sound waves in diamond single crystals depending on their dimensions, concentrations of isotopes and temperature is studied. At this correct account of phonon scattering on boundaries is important. The calcula tion of phonon collision frequencies is carried out in the reduced isotropic crystal model using second and third modules of elasticity and in Callaway model on the basis of experimental data on diamond thermal conductivity. Both models give us the consistent values of parameters under which the propagation of SSW is possible. It is discovered that concentrations of isotopes 13C < 10-5, temperatures T < 90K. Such a good agreement provides the reliability of received results and shows the efficiency of reduced isotropic crystal model in the description of diamond properties in low temperature range.
Diamond and cBN are two of the most promising ultra-wide-band-gap (UWBG) semiconductors for applications in high-power high-frequency electronic devices. Yet despite extensive studies on carrier transport in these materials, there are large discrepan cies in their reported carrier mobilities. In this work, we investigate the phonon- and dopant-limited electron and hole mobility of cBN and diamond with atomistic first-principles calculations in order to understand their fundamental upper bounds to carrier transport. Our results show that although the phonon-limited electron mobilities are comparable between cBN and diamond, the hole mobility is significantly lower in cBN due to its heavier hole effective mass. Moreover, although lattice scattering dominates the mobility at low doping, neutral impurity scattering becomes the dominant scattering mechanism at higher dopant concentrations due to the high dopant ionization energies. Our analysis provides critical insights and reveals the intrinsic upper limits to the carrier mobilities of diamond and cBN as a function of doping and temperature for applications in high-power electronic devices.
