研究目的
Investigating the influence of exciton energy on intersubband transition in a chirped superlattice GaAs/AlxGa1-xAs quantum cascade laser to enhance THz frequency radiation.
研究成果
The simulation results indicate that exciton energy decreases with increasing QW width and shows discrete energy level properties at narrower widths. Transition energy from the 1s exciton state to 2e produces THz range emission at approximately 5.3 THz, higher than similar real structures. This finding can inform the design of chirped superlattice QCLs to enhance THz radiation.
研究不足
The study is limited to simulations at a lattice temperature of 5 K and does not account for higher temperature effects. The practical fabrication and experimental validation of the proposed structure are not discussed.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study involved simulating exciton energy as a function of QW width and percent alloy contents using the Nextnanomat simulation program. Theoretical models were constructed based on the one-dimensional Schrodinger equation and electron effective mass approximation.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
The structure consisted of a chirped superlattice GaAs/Al0.3Ga0.7As QCL with an AlAs monolayer inserted in the center of the QW. The GaAs QW was doped with Si at a concentration of 3×1010 cm-

3. List of Experimental Equipment and Materials: Nextnanomat simulation program was used for conduction band profiles and envelope wave functions simulation.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Exciton energy was modeled as a function of QW width and percent alloy contents. Transition energy from electron subband levels to the 1s exciton state was investigated under an applied electric field.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
The dependence of exciton energy on QW width and percent alloy contents was analyzed. Transition energies were calculated self-consistently from the single-particle states equation, the excitonic many-body states equation, and Poisson’s equation.
