We have investigated THz radiation characteristics along different directions, either reflective or along lateral by using InAs-based heterostructures. Firstly, we demonstrate the phase shift with InAs layer thickness, revealing the change of dominant THz wave generation mechanism along both directions. Along the lateral direction, the time-domain signals in thin InAs epilayers showed an abrupt phase and amplitude change at certain time delays which suggest the interference between two rays at the photoconductive switch. This behavior was further substantiated by the multiple cavity modes in Fourier-transformed spectra and by the amplitude variation with excitation spot displacement.

The strategic integration of low-dimensional InAs-based materials and emerging van der Waals systems is advancing in various scientific fields, including electronics, optics, and magnetics. With their unique properties, these InAs-based van der Waals materials and devices promise further miniaturization of semiconductor devices in line with Moore's Law. However, progress in this area lags behind other 2D materials like graphene and boron nitride.

InAs-based nanocrystals can enable restriction of hazardous substances (RoHS) compliant optoelectronic devices, but their photoluminescence efficiency needs improvement. We report an optimized synthesis of InAs@ZnSe core@shell nanocrystals allowing to tune the ZnSe shell thickness up to seven mono-layers (ML) and to boost the emission, reaching a quantum yield of ≈70% at ≈900 nm. It is demonstrated that a high quantum yield can be attained when the shell thickness is at least ≈3ML.

Colloidal quantum dots (QDs) emitting in the infrared (IR) are promising building blocks for numerous photonic, optoelectronic and biomedical applications owing to their low-cost solution-processability and tunable emission. Among them, lead- and mercury-based QDs are currently the most developed materials. Yet, due to toxicity issues, the scientific community is focusing on safer alternatives.

The evolution of the 0.5G (G = 2e/h) conductance plateau and the accompanying hysteresis loop in a series of asymmetrically biased InAs based quantum point contacts (QPCs) in the presence of lateral spin-orbit coupling (LSOC) is studied using a number of QPCs with varying lithographic channel width but fixed channel length. It is found that the size of the hysteresis loops is larger for QPCs of smaller aspect ratio (QPC channel width/length) and gradually disappears as their aspect ratio increases.

Noble Metals such as Gold and Silver demonstrated for mid IR metamaterials have suffered many obstacles such as: high losses and lack of tunability. The application of doped semiconductors has allowed overcoming the tunability restriction, besides, possessing lower losses as compared to metals. In addition, doped semiconductors have small magnitude of negative real permittivity which is required to realize mid IR Hyperbolic Metamaterials (HMMs).
