    Shallow and Undoped Germanium Quantum Wells: A Playground for Spin and Hybrid Quantum Technology
    (Weinheim : Wiley-VCH, 2019) Sammak, Amir; Sabbagh, Diego; Hendrickx, Nico W.; Lodari, Mario; Wuetz, Brian Paquelet; Tosato, Alberto; Yeoh, LaReine; Bollani, Monica; Virgilio, Michele; Schubert, Markus Andreas; Zaumseil, Peter; Capellini, Giovanni; Veldhorst, Menno; Scappucci, Giordano
    Buried-channel semiconductor heterostructures are an archetype material platform for the fabrication of gated semiconductor quantum devices. Sharp confinement potential is obtained by positioning the channel near the surface; however, nearby surface states degrade the electrical properties of the starting material. Here, a 2D hole gas of high mobility (5 × 10 5 cm 2 V −1 s −1 ) is demonstrated in a very shallow strained germanium (Ge) channel, which is located only 22 nm below the surface. The top-gate of a dopant-less field effect transistor controls the channel carrier density confined in an undoped Ge/SiGe heterostructure with reduced background contamination, sharp interfaces, and high uniformity. The high mobility leads to mean free paths ≈ 6 µm, setting new benchmarks for holes in shallow field effect transistors. The high mobility, along with a percolation density of 1.2 × 10 11 cm −2 , light effective mass (0.09m e ), and high effective g-factor (up to 9.2) highlight the potential of undoped Ge/SiGe as a low-disorder material platform for hybrid quantum technologies. © 2019 The Authors.

    Structural and optical properties of (112̅2) InGaN quantum wells compared to (0001) and (112̅0)
    (Milton Park : Taylor & Francis, 2016) Pristovsek, Markus; Han, Yisong; Zhu, Tongtong; Oehler, Fabrice; Tang, Fengzai; Oliver, Rachel A.; Humphreys, Colin J.; Tytko, Darius; Choi, Pyuck-Pa; Raabe, Dierk; Brunner, Frank; Weyers, Markus
    We benchmarked growth, microstructure and photo luminescence (PL) of (112-2) InGaN quantum wells (QWs) against (0001) and (112-0). In incorporation, growth rate and the critical thickness of (112-2) QWs are slightly lower than (0001) QWs, while the In incorporation on (112-0) is reduced by a factor of three. A small step-bunching causes slight fluctuations of the emission wavelength. Transmission electron microscopy as well as atom probe tomography (APT) found very flat interfaces with little In segregation even for 20% In content. APT frequency distribution analysis revealed some deviation from a random InGaN alloy, but not as severe as for (112-0). The slight deviation of (112-2) QWs from an ideal random alloy did not broaden the 300 K PL, the line widths were similar for (112-2) and (0001) while (112-0) QWs were broader. Despite the high structural quality and narrow PL, the integrated PL signal at 300 K was about 4 lower on (112-2) and more than 10 lower on (112-0).
