In this work, we report a polarized Raman study on the vibrational properties of the InAs/InAs1-xSbx SLs as well as selected InAs1-xSbx alloys, all grown on GaSb substrates by either MBE or MOCVD, from both growth surface and cleaved edge.

The cross-plane thermal conductivity of a type II InAs/GaSb superlattice (T2SL) is measured from 13 K to 300 K using the 3{omega} method. Thermal conductivity is reduced by up to 2 orders of magnitude relative to the GaSb bulk substrate. The low ther mal conductivity of around 1-8 W/mcdotK may serve as an advantage for thermoelectric applications at low temperatures, while presenting a challenge for T2SL quantum cascade lasers and high power light emitting diodes. We introduce a power-law approximation to model non-linearities in the thermal conductivity, resulting in increased or decreased peak temperature for negative or positive exponents, respectively.
We report a polarized Raman study of Weyl semimetal TaAs. We observe all the optical phonons, with energies and symmetries consistent with our first-principles calculations. We detect additional excitations assigned to multiple-phonon excitations. Th ese excitations are accompanied by broad peaks separated by 140~cm$^{-1}$ that are also most likely associated with multiple-phonon excitations. We also noticed a sizable B$_1$ component for the spectral background, for which the origin remains unclear.
We present some theoretical results on the lattice vibrations that are necessary for a concise derivation of the Debye-Waller factor in the harmonic approximation. First we obtain an expression for displacement of an atom in a crystal lattice from it s equilibrium position. Then we show that an atomic displacement has the Gaussian distribution. Finally, we obtain the computational formula for the Debye-Waller factor in the Debye model.
In this paper, mid-wave infrared photodetection based on an InAs/GaSb type-II superlattice p-i-n photodetector grown directly on Si substrate is demonstrated and characterized. Excitation power dependence on integrated intensity from the photolumines cence measurements reveals a power coefficient of P~I0.74, indicating that defects related process is playing an important role in the predominant recombination channel for photogenerated carriers. At 70 K, the device exhibits a dark current density of 2.3 A/cm2 under -0.1 V bias. Arrhenius analysis of dark current shows activation energies much less than half of the active layer bandgap, which suggests that the device is mainly limited by surface leakage and defect-assisted tunneling, consistent with the photoluminescence analysis. The detector shows 50% cutoff wavelength at ~5.5 um at 70 K under bias of -0.1 V. The corresponding peak responsivity and specific detectivity are 1.2 A/W and 1.3*10e9 cm*Hz1/2/W, respectively. Based on these optoelectronics characterization results, reduction of defects by optimizing the III/V-Si interface, and suppression of surface leakage channels are argued to be the main factors for performance improvement in this Si-based T2SL detector towards low cost, large-format MWIR detection system on Si photonics platform.
The discovery of Weyl semimetals (WSMs) has fueled tremendous interest in condensed matter physics. WSMs require breaking of either inversion symmetry (IS) or time-reversal symmetry (TRS); they can be categorized into type-I and type-II WSMs, charact erized by un-tilted and strongly tilted Weyl cones respectively. Type-I WSMs with breaking of IS or TRS and type-II WSMs with IS breaking have been realized experimentally, but TRS-breaking type-II WSM still remains elusive. In this article, we report an ideal TRS-breaking type-II WSM with only one pair of Weyl nodes observed in the antiferromagnetic topological insulator Mn(Bi1-xSbx)2Te4 under magnetic fields. This state is manifested by a large intrinsic anomalous Hall effect, a non-trivial $mathrm{{pi}}$ Berry phase of the cyclotron orbit and a large positive magnetoresistance in the ferromagnetic phase at an optimal sample composition. Our results establish a promising platform for exploring the physics underlying the long-sought, ideal TRS breaking type-II WSM.
