In this work, we demonstrate the features of a two-stage epitaxial growth technique and show the results of power and efficiency measurements for three different designs of quantum cascade lasers with a record-high peak power in the 8 μm spectral region. The time-resolved QCL spectral study proves that InP-based upper cladding paired with an InP contact layer provides better heat dissipation and allows one to reach better power characteristics in comparison with InGaAs-based contact, even with short pulse pumping.

A tridimensional mathematical model to calculate the electron beam induced current (EBIC) of an axial p-n nanowire junction is proposed. The effect of the electron beam and junction parameters on the distribution of charge carriers and on the collected EBIC current is reported. We demonstrate that the diffusion of charge carriers within the wire is strongly influenced by the electrical state of its lateral surface which is characterized by a parameter called surface recombination velocity ().

We analyze the thermal behavior of a flexible nanowire (NW) light-emitting diode (LED) operated under different injection conditions. The LED is based on metal-organic vapor-phase deposition (MOCVD)-grown self-assembled InGaN/GaN NWs in a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) matrix. Despite the poor thermal conductivity of the polymer, active nitride NWs effectively dissipate heat to the substrate.

Article Synopsis
  • The study examines the electrical and optical properties of single GaN nanowire p-n junctions created through plasma-assisted molecular-beam epitaxy with magnesium and silicon as doping sources.
  • It compares different junction structures (n-base vs. p-base) using various analytical techniques, highlighting that n-base structures display more wire-to-wire shape variation due to radial growth influenced by magnesium doping.
  • By switching to p-base junctions, researchers achieved a more consistent and well-defined structure while maintaining good optical quality and high hole concentration without damaging the nanowire's shape.

The performance of core-shell InGaN/GaN nanowire (NW) light emitting diodes (LEDs) can be limited by wire-to-wire electrical inhomogeneities. Here we investigate an array of core-shell InGaN/GaN NWs which are morphologically identical, but present electrical dissimilarities in order to understand how the nanoscale phenomena observed in individual NWs affect the working performance of the whole array. The LED shows a low number of NWs (∼20%) producing electroluminescence under operating conditions.
