Efficient and continuous microwave photoconversion in hybrid cavity-semiconductor nanowire double quantum dot diodes.

ABSTRACT: Converting incoming photons to electrical current is the key operation principle of optical photodetectors and it enables a host of emerging quantum information technologies. The leading approach for continuous and efficient detection in the optical domain builds on semiconductor photodiodes. However, there is a paucity of efficient and continuous photon detectors in the microwave regime, because photon energies are four to five orders of magnitude lower therein and conventional photodiodes do not have that sensitivity. Here we tackle this gap and demonstrate how microwave photons can be efficiently and continuously converted to electrical current in a high-quality, semiconducting nanowire double quantum dot resonantly coupled to a cavity. In particular, in our photodiode device, an absorbed photon gives rise to a single electron tunneling through the double dot, with a conversion efficiency reaching 6%.

Vacuum-free transparent quantum dot light-emitting diodes with silver nanowire cathode.

Project description:Efficient transparent quantum-dot light emitting diodes (QD-LEDs) are demonstrated by using a silver nanowire (AgNW) cathode. The devices are fabricated through a solution technique, not any vacuum processes are involved. Almost identical performance is obtained for both sides of the transparent device, which is primary due to the high transmittance of AgNW cathode. The maximum luminance (efficiency) for ITO and AgNW side is 25,040 cd/m(2) (5.6 cd/A) and 23,440 cd/m(2) (5.2 cd/A), respectively. The average specular transmittance of the device (involving the glass substrate) is over 60% in the visible range. This study indicates that AgNW electrodes can serve as a cost-effective, flexible alternative to ITO, and thereby improve the economic viability and mechanical stability of QD-LEDs. All the results suggest that this is an important progress toward producing transparent QD-LEDs based displays and lighting sources.

Quantum Dot-Acrylic Acrylate Oligomer Hybrid Films for Stable White Light-Emitting Diodes.

Project description:White light-emitting diodes (LEDs) have been achieved using photopolymerization. Red and green CdSe/ZnS core-shell quantum dots (QDs) are dispersed in photopolymerized aliphatic acrylic acrylate resins, cured by using 36 W UV light for 1.5 min producing QD-acrylate nanocomposites, and then a hybrid LED device is achieved using the QD-acrylate nanocomposite with two emission wavelengths excited by using a blue InGaN LED chip. The cured QD-acrylate nanocomposite films are characterized by using ultraviolet-visible, fluorescence, scanning electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, and thermogravimetric analysis measurements. Photopolymerization is conveniently employed to adjust several parameters of the CIE-1931 coordinate (x, y), color temperature, and color rending index (CRI). Good white balance of the red-green hybrid device achieves a luminance of 7976 lm/m2 at a 30 mA working current. The light emission efficiency, CRI, and color temperature of 14%, 47, and 11 204 K, respectively, are attained at this working current.

Strong coupling of hybrid states of light and matter in cavity-coupled quantum dot solids.

Project description:The formation of plasmon-exciton (plexciton) polariton is a direct consequence of strong light-matter interaction, and it happens in a semiconductor-metal hybrid system. Here the formation of plasmon-exciton polaritons was observed from an AgTe/CdTe Quantum Dot (QD) solid system in the strong coupling regime. The strong coupling was achieved by increasing the oscillator strength of the excitons by forming coupled QD solids. The anti-crossing-like behaviour indicates the strong coupling between plasmonic and excitons state in AgTe/CdTe QD solids, resulting in a maximum Rabi splitting value of 225 meV at room temperature. The formation of this hybrid state of matter and its dynamics were studied through absorption, photoluminescence, and femtosecond transient studies.

Adiabatic quantum state transfer in a semiconductor quantum-dot spin chain.

Project description:Semiconductor quantum-dot spin qubits are a promising platform for quantum computation, because they are scalable and possess long coherence times. In order to realize this full potential, however, high-fidelity information transfer mechanisms are required for quantum error correction and efficient algorithms. Here, we present evidence of adiabatic quantum-state transfer in a chain of semiconductor quantum-dot electron spins. By adiabatically modifying exchange couplings, we transfer single- and two-spin states between distant electrons in less than 127 ns. We also show that this method can be cascaded for spin-state transfer in long spin chains. Based on simulations, we estimate that the probability to correctly transfer single-spin eigenstates and two-spin singlet states can exceed 0.95 for the experimental parameters studied here. In the future, state and process tomography will be required to verify the transfer of arbitrary single qubit states with a fidelity exceeding the classical bound. Adiabatic quantum-state transfer is robust to noise and pulse-timing errors. This method will be useful for initialization, state distribution, and readout in large spin-qubit arrays for gate-based quantum computing. It also opens up the possibility of universal adiabatic quantum computing in semiconductor quantum-dot spin qubits.

All solution-processed stable white quantum dot light-emitting diodes with hybrid ZnO@TiO₂ as blue emitters.

Project description:White quantum dot light-emitting diodes (QD-LEDs) have been a promising candidate for high-efficiency and color-saturated displays. However, it is challenging to integrate various QD emitters into one device and also to obtain efficient blue QDs. Here, we report a simply solution-processed white QD-LED using a hybrid ZnO@TiO₂ as electron injection layer and ZnCdSeS QD emitters. The white emission is obtained by integrating the yellow emission from QD emitters and the blue emission generated from hybrid ZnO@TiO₂ layer. We show that the performance of white QD-LEDs can be adjusted by controlling the driving force for hole transport and electroluminescence recombination region via varying the thickness of hole transport layer. The device is demonstrated with a maximum luminance of 730 cd/m(2) and power efficiency of 1.7 lm/W, exhibiting the Commission Internationale de l'Enclairage (CIE) coordinates of (0.33, 0.33). The unencapsulated white QD-LED has a long lifetime of 96 h at its initial luminance of 730 cd/m(2), primarily due to the fact that the device with hybrid ZnO@TiO₂ has low leakage current and is insensitive to the oxygen and the moisture. These results indicate that hybrid ZnO@TiO₂ provides an alternate and effective approach to achieve high-performance white QD-LEDs and also other optoelectronic devices.

Optimization of Quantum Dot Thin Films using Electrohydrodynamic Jet Spraying for Solution-Processed Quantum Dot Light-Emitting Diodes.

Project description:The electrohydrodynamic (EHD) jet spraying process is a good method for making quantum dot (QD) layers in light-emitting diodes (LEDs). However, controlling the morphology and large-scale fabrication of the QD layers are critical for realizing all-solution-processed QD-LEDs with high performance. Three spraying techniques were used with the EHD jet spraying technique: a big circular film method, a spiral-line method, and a straight-line method. These techniques were used to obtain QD films with good uniformity. The straight-line spray showed the most promise to obtain a uniform QD layer with large area, and QD-LEDs made with this method showed better performance with a low turn-on voltage of 3.0 V, a luminance of 7801 cd/m2, and a maximum current efficiency of 2.93 cd/A.

Parity independence of the zero-bias conductance peak in a nanowire based topological superconductor-quantum dot hybrid device.

Project description:We explore the signatures of Majorana fermions in a nanowire based topological superconductor-quantum dot-topological superconductor hybrid device by charge transport measurements. At zero magnetic field, well-defined Coulomb diamonds and the Kondo effect are observed. Under the application of a finite, sufficiently strong magnetic field, a zero-bias conductance peak structure is observed. It is found that the zero-bias conductance peak is present in many consecutive Coulomb diamonds, irrespective of the even-odd parity of the quasi-particle occupation number in the quantum dot. In addition, we find that the zero-bias conductance peak is in most cases accompanied by two differential conductance peaks, forming a triple-peak structure, and the separation between the two side peaks in bias voltage shows oscillations closely correlated to the background Coulomb conductance oscillations of the device. The observed zero-bias conductance peak and the associated triple-peak structure are in line with Majorana fermion physics in such a hybrid topological system.

Origin of Positive Aging in Quantum-Dot Light-Emitting Diodes.

Project description:The phenomenon of positive aging, i.e., efficiency increased with time, is observed in quantum-dot light-emitting diodes (QLEDs). For example, the external quantum efficiency (EQE) of blue QLEDs is significantly improved from 4.93% to 12.97% after storage for 8 d. The origin of such positive aging is thoroughly investigated. The finding indicates that the interfacial reaction between Al cathode and ZnMgO electron transport layer accounts for such improvement. During shelf-aging, the Al slowly reacts with the oxygen from ZnMgO, and consequently, leads to the formation of AlO x and the production of oxygen vacancies in ZnMgO. The AlO x interlayer reduces the electron injection barrier while the oxygen vacancies increase the conductivity of ZnMgO and, as a result, the electron injection is effectively enhanced. Moreover, the AlO x can effectively suppress the quenching of excitons by metal electrode. Due to the enhancement of electron injection and suppression of exciton quenching, the aged blue, green, and red QLEDs exhibit a 2.6-, 1.3-, and 1.25-fold efficiency improvement, respectively. The studies disclose the origin of positive aging and provide a new insight into the exciton quenching mechanisms, which would be useful for further constructing efficient QLED devices.

On the degradation mechanisms of quantum-dot light-emitting diodes.

Project description:The operating lifetime of blue quantum-dot light-emitting diodes (QLED) is currently a short slab for this emerging display technology. To pinpoint the origin of device degradation, here we apply multiple techniques to monitor the electric-field distribution and space-charge accumulation across the multilayered structure before and after lifetime tests. Evident by charge-modulated electro-absorption and capacitance-voltage characteristics, the excited electrons in blue quantum dots (QD) are prone to cross the type II junction between the QD emission layer and the electron-transporting layer (ETL) due to the offset of conduction band minimum, leading to space-charge accumulation and operating-voltage rise in the ETL. Therefore, unlike those very stable red devices, of which the lifetime is primarily limited by the slow degradation of hole-transporting layer, the poor lifetime of blue QLED originates from the fast degradation at the QD-ETL junction. Materials engineering for efficient electron injection is prerequisite for the boost of operating lifetime.

Spin-cavity interactions between a quantum dot molecule and a photonic crystal cavity.

Project description:The integration of InAs/GaAs quantum dots into nanophotonic cavities has led to impressive demonstrations of cavity quantum electrodynamics. However, these demonstrations are primarily based on two-level excitonic systems. Efforts to couple long-lived quantum dot electron spin states with a cavity are only now succeeding. Here we report a two-spin-cavity system, achieved by embedding an InAs quantum dot molecule within a photonic crystal cavity. With this system we obtain a spin singlet-triplet Λ-system where the ground-state spin splitting exceeds the cavity linewidth by an order of magnitude. This allows us to observe cavity-stimulated Raman emission that is highly spin-selective. Moreover, we demonstrate the first cases of cavity-enhanced optical nonlinearities in a solid-state Λ-system. This provides an all-optical, local method to control the spin exchange splitting. Incorporation of a highly engineerable quantum dot molecule into the photonic crystal architecture advances prospects for a quantum network.
