Abstract:

Modification of the band structure of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) through encapsulation of the inorganic material manganese ditelluride (MnTe2) is reported. We show that this leads to a global reduction of their 1st (E11S) and 2nd (E22S) band gap energies by a similar percentage (up to 3.8%) and interpret this as due to a lowering of the carbon-carbon transfer integrals. © 2007 American Institute of Physics.

Characterization of tunneling and free-carrier screening in coupled asymmetric GaN/AlGaN quantum discs

Abstract:

We present a systematic investigation of free-carrier screening in coupled asymmetric GaN quantum discs with embedded AlGaN barriers using time-integrated and time-resolved micro-photoluminescence measurements, supported by three-dimensional multi-band k.p computational modeling. Free-carrier screening effects decreased with the barrier thickness, which indicates that the source of the free-carriers were carriers tunneling through the barrier. © 2007 American Institute of Physics.
