Color conversion: a quantum dot (QD) structure consisting of an alloy core (CdSe//ZnS) and multishells (CdSZnS) was prepared. The photoluminescence of the QDs could be tuned especially in the green-light region by controlling the thickness of the inner CdS shell. The alloy core/multishell (AC/MS) QDs showed a quantum efficiency of 100 % and a narrow spectrum width.

III-V semiconductor nanowires (NWs), such as those based on GaAs, are attractive for advanced optoelectronic and nanophotonic applications. The addition of Bi into GaAs offers a new avenue to enhance the near-infrared device performance and to add new functionalities, by utilizing the remarkable valence band structure and the giant bowing in the bandgap energy. Here, we report that alloying with Bi also induces the formation of optically-active self-assembled nanodisks caused by Bi segregation.

Core/shell nanowire (NW) heterostructures based on III-V semiconductors and related alloys are attractive for optoelectronic and photonic applications owing to the ability to modify their electronic structure via bandgap and strain engineering. Post-growth thermal annealing of such NWs is often involved during device fabrication and can also be used to improve their optical and transport properties. However, effects of such annealing on alloy disorder and strain in core/shell NWs are not fully understood.

Semiconductor nanowire (NW) lasers are attractive as integrated on-chip coherent light sources with strong potential for applications in optical communication and sensing. Realizing lasers from individual bulk-type NWs with emission tunable from the near-infrared to the telecommunications spectral region is, however, challenging and requires low-dimensional active gain regions with an adjustable band gap and quantum confinement. Here, we demonstrate lasing from GaAs-(InGaAs/AlGaAs) core-shell NWs with multiple InGaAs quantum wells (QW) and lasing wavelengths tunable from ∼0.

Oxidation resistance is one of key properties of titanium aluminide (TiAl) based alloys for high-temperature applications such as in advanced aero-engines and gas turbines. A new TiAlNbCr alloy with micro-addition of yttrium has been developed, but its oxidation behavior is unknown. To provide some fundamental insights, high-temperature oxidation characteristics of this alloy are examined via scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, electron probe microanalysis, and X-ray diffraction.

Choosing the composition of a shell for QDs is not trivial, as both the band-edge energy offset and interfacial lattice mismatch influence the final optical properties. One way to balance these competing effects is by forming multishells and/or gradient-alloy shells. However, this introduces multiple interfaces, and their relative effects on quantum yield and blinking are not yet fully understood.
