1、Optical absorption anomaly of one-dimensional electron gas in a doped quantum wire,2004.08 Toshiyuki Ihara,Abstract,We measured PL and PLE spectra in an n-type doped quantum wire of superior quality, where the one-dimensional (1D) electron density (ne) is tuned by applying gate voltage. At high ne,

We demontrated, in PL spectra, the large BGR of 1D plasma, 1D charged exciton with large binding energy and its evolution to Fermi-edge singularity.論文内容 In this paper, we report on PLE experiments in an n-type doped single quantum wire with a gate. At high ne, a large

The trion binding energy relative to the exciton peak energy is 2 meV which is larger than that reported for 2D wells. At intermidiate ne, th

10、e peak of trion stays at the same energy with ne while the absorption peak at high ne blue-shifts rapidly from the higher energy side of the trion peak. In other words, the absorption peak at high ne does not originate from the trion peak. This is interesting because, in 2D electron gas, the trion p

This typical optical features of 2D electron gas, which have been reported for various n-type doped quantum wells, are also observed in our experiment for 2D electron gas in one of the quantum well which

12、 composes the T-wire. By comparing the optical spectra measured on 1D and 2D electron gas in the T-wire sample, we conclude that the optical absorption anomaly on the n-type doped wire demonstrated in this report is characteristic feature of 1D electron system.,図sample,The sample was grown by the cl

First, on a non-doped (001) GaAs substrate we grew a 50 nm GaAs buffer layer, a 2.26 microm barrier layer of (GaAs)9 (Al0.33Ga0.67As)71 super-lattice, a 14nm Al0.07Ga093As quantum well (stem well) layer, a 100nm Al0.33Ga0.67As spa

Then, after cleaving the sample on the (110) edge, we grew, as the second MBE growth, a 6 nm GaAs quantum well (arm

As schematically shown in Fig.1, The intersection of stem well (14nm) and arm well (6nm) works as a single quantum wire.,The electron density in the stem well was increased by Si delta doping. By

16、applying DC gate voltage (Vg) to the n+ Al0.1Ga0.9As layer relative to modulation-doped 2D electron gas in the stem well, we accumulated or depleted additional electrons in the wire and the arm well. The excitation was performed via a 0.5 numerical aperture objective lens through (110) GaAs surface

17、using cw titanium-sapphire laser. PL from the sample was collected via a (001) surface. The polarization of laser excitation and of detection are orthogonal to each other. These technique enables us to eliminate intense laser scattering and improve signal-to-noise ratio. A 0.75m single spectrometer

19、r PLE. At low electron density (ne), the PLE spectrum is dominated by a peak assigned as neutral exciton (X:exciton). As ne becomes higher, X peak moves away to higher energy and loses its intensity. Instead, another peak appears and becomes strong at almost 2meV below the X peak, which is assigned

20、as trion (X-:trion), consisting of two electrons with opposite spins bound to a valence-band hole. At Vg=0.2V, the line shape of trion peak becomes asymmetric (a fast rise at low energy side and slow decay at high energy side) which is a manifest of Fermi-edge singularity. X- peak stays at the same

21、energy with increasing ne, and above 0.2V, it becomes weak and disappears at high ne. A broad PLE onset appears at the higher energy side of X- peak and blue-shift rapidly with ne.,： EBE ：（ Efme/mh下） ： EBE+Ef (1+me/mh) 可能性捨 Ef電子濃度図(c)大幅変更可能性。,図wire結果,As we have reported in ref.*, the ne dependence o

22、f PL spectra shows the almost the same scenario. At low ne, we observed PL peak of excitons (X) and trions (X-). At high ne, the PL spectra exhibit striking lineshapes in which the onsets (band edge) of emission continuously shift to the red with increasing ne and the high-energy cutoff (Fermi edge)

23、 of emission is pinned at the position of the X- measured at small ne. Note that there is a large energy gap between the high-energy cutoff of PL and the onset of PLE. To be more quantative, we plot singular energy positions of PL and PLE spectra in Fig.2(b). Black mark corresponds to the PLE peaks.

24、 Triangles are X-, squares are X-, and diamonds are the broad peak observed at high ne.,White mark corresponds to the singular energy of PL spectrum. Circles are 80% height of low energy shoulder and triangles are high energy shoulder. X peak shows blue shifts and X- shows no shift, thus, the energy

25、 gap between X and X- increases with electron density as plotted as black inverted triangles in Fig.2(c). The Fermi energy of the electrons in the wire and corresponding 1D electron density can be estimated from the energy gap between Fermi edge and Band edge in PL spectra. We plotted gate voltage d
