Effect of MBE growth conditions on GaAsBi photoluminescence lineshape and localised state filling.

ABSTRACT: A series of gallium arsenide bismide device layers covering a range of growth conditions are thoroughly probed by low-temperature, power-dependent photoluminescence measurements. The photoluminescence data is modelled using a localised state profile consisting of two Gaussians. Good agreement with the raw data is achieved for all layers whilst fixing the standard deviation values of the two Gaussians and constraining the band gap using X-ray diffraction data. The effects of growth temperature and bismuth beam equivalent pressure on the localised state distributions, and other model variables, are both shown to be linked to emission linewidth and device properties. It is concluded that bismuth rich surface conditions are preferable during growth in order to produce the narrowest emission linewidths with this material. These results also show how the growth mode of a gallium arsenide bismide layer can be inferred ex-situ from low-temperature photoluminescence measurements.

Project description:Heat stress is a primary constraint to Australia's barley production. In addition to impacting grain yield, it adversely affects physical grain quality (weight and plumpness) and market value. The incidence of heat stress during grain filling is rising with global warming. However, breeding for new superior heat-tolerant genotypes has been challenging due to the narrow window of sensitivity, the unpredictable nature of heat stress, and its frequent co-occurrence with drought stress. Greater scientific knowledge regarding traits and mechanisms associated with heat tolerance would help develop more efficient selection methods. Our objective was to assess 157 barley varieties of contrasting genetic backgrounds for various developmental, agro-morphological, and physiological traits to examine the effects of heat stress on physical grain quality. Delayed sowing (i.e., July and August) increased the likelihood of daytime temperatures above 30°C during grain-filling. Supplementary irrigation of field trials ensured a reduced impact of drought stress. Heat tolerance appeared to be the primary factor determining grain plumpness. A wide variation was observed for heat tolerance, particularly among the Australian varieties. Genotypic variation was also observed for grain weight, plumpness, grain growth components, stay-green and stem water-soluble carbohydrates (WSC) content, and mobilisation under normal and delayed sown conditions. Compared to normal sowing, delayed sowing reduced duration of developmental phases, plant height, leaf size, head length, head weight, grain number, plumpness, grain width and thickness, stem WSC content, green leaf area retention, and harvest index (HI), and increased screenings, grain length, grain-filling rate (GFR), WSC mobilisation efficiency (WSCME), and grain protein content. Overall, genotypes with heavier and plumper grains under high temperatures had higher GFR, longer grain-filling duration, longer green leaf area retention, higher WSCME, taller stature, smaller leaf size, greater HI, higher grain weight/plumpness potentials, and earlier flowering. GFR played a significant role in determining barley grain weight and plumpness under heat-stress conditions. Enhancing GFR may provide a new avenue for improving heat tolerance in barley.
