Embodiment
The present invention will be further described in detail with specific embodiment below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
The invention provides a kind of method for controllable growth by molecular beam epitaxy, self-assembled growth is not in GaSb matrix With ErSb nanostructureds.Specific preparation method is as follows:
By solid-state source molecular beam epitaxy in (100) crystal face gallium arsenide substrate of selection, pass through the side of thermal evaporation first Method removes surface oxide layer, and the thick GaAs buffer layers of one layer of 200nm are grown at 580 DEG C so that epitaxial surface is smooth, afterwards Growth temperature is set to 530 DEG C, gallium antimonide stress release layer thick one layer of 60nm of growth.The present embodiment devises a multilayer knot The ErSb of structure:GaSb samples, pass through the ErSb to different levels of doping:The GaSb layers of growth machine that is characterized with Knowing material System, and demonstrate and can regulate and control the formation of different ErSb nanostructureds by the incorporation for adjusting ErSb.Each layer of ErSb: GaSb is grown by way of co-deposition, i.e., Er, Ga and Sb baffle plate are opened and grown simultaneously.
Sandwich construction manufactured in the present embodiment is as shown in Fig. 2 the ErSb of 5 layers of difference Er doping concentrations:GaSb structure (ErSb volume by volume concentration is respectively 1%, 3%, 7% and 20%), between every layer one layer of growth undoped with GaSb, with to boundary Face is distinguished by.Section TEM schemes as shown in Figure 2 b, to show the different nanostructureds formed under different ErSb concentration.Two hang down Nogata is to the nanostructured enlarged drawing of ([110] and [- 110]) as shown in Fig. 2 c and Fig. 2 d.The situation for being 1% in Er concentration Under, solubility limit has been reached, therefore Er and Sb form nano particle (ErSb nethermost as shown in Figure 2:GaSb Layer).Improved with Er concentration, the density and size of nano particle are being improved, form short distance arrangement (reciprocal the in such as Fig. 2 Two layers of ErSb:GaSb layers).
When Er concentration reaches 7% or so, ErSb clusters align along direction of growth adjust automatically, form longer bar-shaped Structure (such as Fig. 2 centres ErSb:Shown in GaSb layers).When Er concentration reaches 10% or so, club shaped structure starts along growth Direction forms continuous nano wire (such as Fig. 2 second layer ErSb under upper:Shown in GaSb layers).When Er concentration reaches 20% During left and right, the orientation of nano wire have rotated 90 degree, and (such as Fig. 2 is under upper along level [- 110] direction for the direction of nano wire One layer of ErSb:Shown in GaSb), this nano wire THz wave incident to surface has strong polarization effect.When Er concentration When reaching 20%, total does not find obvious defect, shows that material possesses good crystal mass.It there is no indication that The growth of last layer and the formation of nanostructured are influenceed by next layer, and showing on this composite can further extension be such as Integrated opto-electronic device structure etc..
ErSb 2 microns thick to the nano thread structure with ErSb horizontal directions:GaSb nano composite films enter Row light transmittance is measured, using GaSb materials as contrast.When light polarization direction is parallel to nano wire, light of the material to 100THz or so There is obvious absorption;And when light polarization direction is perpendicular to nano wire, material has very strong suction to 0.2THz to 100THz light Receive, transmissivity substantially reduces (as shown in Figure 3), so as to obtain polarization effect.
Therefore, the ErSb of this nano thread structure with ErSb horizontal directions:GaSb nano composite films are demonstrate,proved There is very strong polarization effect in fact, and cover very wide frequency range (0.2THz to 100THz), can act as wideband The light polarization modulator of Terahertz and infrared light.And it is expected to combine with similar Group III-V semiconductor photoelectric device, example Such as it is operated in the QCL of Terahertz or infrared band.
The high-sequential arrangement of nano wire and electrical conductance cause the ErSb of the present invention:This composites of GaSb can with it is red The outer electromagnetic wave strong effect for arriving terahertz wave band, although the thickness of this material only has 100nm to 2 microns, than related light Several small orders of magnitude of wavelength.By the continuity and arrangement degree, the thin-film material of this structure that further improve nano wire Higher polarization extinction ratio can be reached.
