Insights into Growth-Oriented Interfacial Modulation within Semiconductor Multilayers

Yuyang Wu et al.

Summary: Interfacial engineering is crucial in regulating the quality and property of heterogeneous structures, especially in nanometer-scaled devices. The growth-oriented characteristic of interfacial modulation strongly determines the main regions where modulation takes effect, with different effects observed in a semiconductor quantum well structure depending on whether arsenic atoms are modulated at the well-on-barrier or barrier-on-well interface. The impact of the growth-oriented characteristic is demonstrated by the improvements in luminescent intensity and suppression of the quantum-confined Stark effect achieved through different interface modulation methods.

High-power portable terahertz laser systems

Ali Khalatpour et al.

Summary: Terahertz frequencies are underutilized due to the lack of powerful and compact sources, but the invention of THz quantum cascade lasers has helped bridge this gap and expand potential applications. However, the technology is still limited by demanding cooling requirements, restricting its practical use outside of laboratory settings.
