- We report for the first time on MBE growth, structural and optical properties of single layers, quantum well structures and short-period superlattices based on BexCd1-xSe ternary alloys on GaAs. Both the conventional MBE growth mode and the sub-monolayer digital alloying technique (SDA) have been employed for the fabrication of the structures. Compositional boundaries of an instability region 0.03 < x < 0.38, calculated in a regular solution approximation for the completely coherent system, agree well with available experimental data. A suppression of the phase separation in BeCdSe by elastic stress in the layer, accompanied by a strong reduction of the Cd incorporation coefficient has been found. Ultrathin 2.8 ML BeCdSe SDA QWs with x approx. 0.15 demonstrate about an order of magnitude increase in the PL intensity with respect to the pure CdSe one, probably resulting from an enhanced carrier localization efficiency. Eg as a function of the Be content reveals a strong bowing in optical data, which allows one to consider BeCdSe alloys with compositions nearly lattice-matched to GaAs as potential materials for the active region of blue-green lasers.

- We report a time-resolved study of the recombination dynamics in molecular beam epitaxy grown ZnOZnMgO single quantum wells (SQWs) of 1.0-4.5 nm width. The SQWs exhibit different emission properties, depending on both the well width and defect density. Stimulated emission has been achieved at room temperature in a separate confinement double heterostructure having a 3 nm wide SQW as an active region. It has been found that a critical parameter for the lasing is the inhomogeneous broadening of both QW and barrier emission bands. © 2007 American Institute of Physics.

Forskningsöversikt (refereegranskat)abstract
- Zinc oxide (ZnO), with its excellent luminescent properties and the ease of growth of its nanostructures, holds promise for the development of photonic devices. The recent advances in growth of ZnO nanorods are discussed. Results from both low temperature and high temperature growth approaches are presented. The techniques which are presented include metal-organic chemical vapour deposition (MOCVD), vapour phase epitaxy (VPE), pulse laser deposition (PLD), vapour-liquid-solid (VLS), aqueous chemical growth (ACG) and finally the electrodeposition technique as an example of a selective growth approach. Results from structural as well as optical properties of a variety of ZnO nanorods are shown and analysed using different techniques, including high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), photoluminescence (PL) and cathodoluminescence (CL), for both room temperature and for low temperature performance. These results indicate that the grown ZnO nanorods possess reproducible and interesting optical properties. Results on obtaining p-type doping in ZnO micro- and nanorods are also demonstrated using PLD. Three independent indications were found for p-type conducting, phosphorus-doped ZnO nanorods: first, acceptor-related CL peaks, second, opposite transfer characteristics of back-gate field effect transistors using undoped and phosphorus doped wire channels, and finally, rectifying I-V characteristics of ZnO: P nanowire/ZnO:Ga p-n junctions. Then light emitting diodes (LEDs) based on n-ZnO nanorods combined with different technologies (hybrid technologies) are suggested and the recent electrical, as well as electro-optical, characteristics of these LEDs are shown and discussed. The hybrid LEDs reviewed and discussed here are mainly presented for two groups: those based on n-ZnO nanorods and p-type crystalline substrates, and those based on n-ZnO nanorods and p-type amorphous substrates. Promising electroluminescence characteristics aimed at the development of white LEDs are demonstrated. Although some of the presented LEDs show visible emission for applied biases in excess of 10 V, optimized structures are expected to provide the same emission at much lower voltage. Finally, lasing from ZnO nanorods is briefly reviewed. An example of a recent whispering gallery mode (WGM) lasing from ZnO is demonstrated as a way to enhance the stimulated emission from small size structures.

- We report on cw and time-resolved photoluminescence (PL) studies of Cd(Mn)Se/Zn(Mn)Se diluted magnetic semiconductor nanostructures grown by molecular beam epitaxy. Excitonic PL intensity, decay time and Zeeman splitting have been studied systematically as a function of Cd(Mn)Se nominal thickness, Mn concentration and sample design. Wave function mapping has been performed, evidencing the formation of semi-magnetic quantum disk islands in the samples with thick enough Cd(Mn)Se insertions. ⌐ 2001 Elsevier Science B.V.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- In conclusion the performed magneto-PL measurements exhibit fonrmation of 0D excitons in CdSe/(Zn,Mn)Se nanostructures. The excitonic states forming the inhomogeneously broadened emission band differ both in their energy (due to fluctuations in the sizes and compositions among the localization sites) and in magnetic properties (most probably, due to the effect of Mn ions clustering in the nearby regions). The structure potential for spin-related optoelectronic applications is demonstrated, owing to almost complete circular polarization of the emitted light within the wide spectral range (about 1OO meV) at moderate magnetic fields.

Nanodiamond modified copolymer scaffolds affects tumour progression of early neoplastic oral keratinocytes

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This study aimed to evaluate the tumorigenic potential of functionalising poly(LLA-co-CL) scaffolds. The copolymer scaffolds were functionalised with nanodiamonds (nDP) or with nDP and physisorbed BMP-2 (nDP-PHY) to enhance osteoinductivity. Culturing early neoplastic dysplastic keratinocytes (DOKLuc) on nDP modified scaffolds reduced significantly their subsequent sphere formation ability and decreased significantly the cells' proliferation in the supra-basal layers of in vitro 3D oral neoplastic mucosa (3D-OT) when compared to DOKLuc previously cultured on nDP-PHY scaffolds. Using an in vivo non-invasive environmentally-induced oral carcinogenesis model, nDP scaffolds were observed to reduce bioluminescence intensity of tumours formed by DOKLuc + carcinoma associated fibroblasts (CAF). nDP modification was also found to promote differentiation of DOKLuc both in vitro in 3D-OT and in vivo in xenografts formed by DOKLuc alone. The nDP-PHY scaffold had the highest number of invasive tumours formed by DOKLuc + CAF outside the scaffold area compared to the nDP and control scaffolds. In conclusion, in vitro and in vivo results presented here demonstrate that nDP modified copolymer scaffolds are able to decrease the tumorigenic potential of DOKLuc, while confirming concerns for the therapeutic use of BMP-2 for reconstruction of bone defects in oral cancer patients due to its tumour promoting capabilities.

Temperature-dependent exciton polariton photoluminescence in ZnO films
- 2004

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The polarized photoluminescence (PL) in a (0001) oriented ZnO epitaxial film is studied in the temperature range 4.5-250 K. We report the evidence of exciton polariton emission between 50 and 130 K. In this range the PL of mixed polariton modes is detected in the geometry of an extraordinary beam, realized by the use of a large-aperture microobjective collecting light from the cleaved sample edge at different angles with respect to the. c axis. The elevated temperatures facilitate the polariton emission due to the thermal population of both A and B exciton branches and the enhanced polariton scattering into the photonlike mixed modes.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- We report on optical and structural studies of the interface symmetry in CdSe/BeTe multiple-layer structures containing self-assembled quantum dots. Temperature and decay behavior of the broad photoluminescence (PL) band is consistent with the type-II transitions involving deeply localized electron states. Large linear in-plane polarization of the PL (up to 80%) is observed, implying the C-2v (or lower) symmetry of the individual places of the electron localization.

- We report on the studies of linearly polarized photoluminescence (PL) in a (0001) oriented ZnO epitaxial film, grown by metal organic chemical vapor deposition on a GaN template. The emission of mixed longitudinal-transverse exciton polariton modes was observed up to 130 K that evidences polaritonic nature of the excitonic spectrum up to this elevated temperature.
