研究目的
Investigating the polarization dependence of photoluminescence (PL) spectra in doubly-split 1S yellow ortho-excitons in a Cu2O thin-crystal recrystallized in a small gap between paired MgO substrates to elucidate the biaxial stress effect due to a small lattice mismatch between Cu2O and MgO.
研究成果
The study confirmed that the planar-isotropic biaxial stress due to a small lattice mismatch degrades the crystal symmetry to D4h, leading to the splitting of the ortho-exciton state into doubly-split exciton states with different polarization dependences. The Bayesian spectroscopy successfully decomposed the complex PL spectra, revealing distinct polarization behaviors of the resonant PL bands.
研究不足
The study is limited by the complexity of the PL spectra, which include weak resonant and intense phonon sideband PL bands due to doubly- or triply-split 1S yellow ortho-exciton states. The Bayesian spectroscopy method was employed to overcome these challenges.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study employed Bayesian spectroscopy with a replica exchange Monte Carlo algorithm to decompose the PL spectra into respective spectral components.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
A Cu2O thin-crystal recrystallized in a small gap between paired MgO substrates was used. PL spectra were measured at
3:2 K under weak-excitation conditions. List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
A cw laser diode of wavelength 532 nm was used for excitation. A polarizer was placed between the sample and a spectrometer to measure polarization dependence.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
PL spectra were detected from the normal direction of the sample surface. The whole polarization characteristic on photodetecting sensitivity of the spectrometer and a photo-detector were measured and calibrated.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
The Bayesian spectroscopy was applied for spectral decomposition, and the polarization dependences of the resonant PL intensities were analyzed based on the selection rules and symmetry considerations.
