- The instrumentation in Hall A at the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility was designed to study electro-and photo-induced reactions at very high luminosity and good momentum and angular resolution for at least one of the reaction products. The central components of Hall A are two identical high resolution spectrometers, which allow the vertical drift chambers in the focal plane to provide a momentum resolution of better than 2 x 10(-4). A variety of Cherenkov counters, scintillators and lead-glass calorimeters provide excellent particle identification. The facility has been operated successfully at a luminosity well in excess of 10(38) CM-2 s(-1). The research program is aimed at a variety of subjects, including nucleon structure functions, nucleon form factors and properties of the nuclear medium. (C) 2003 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- 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 present a time-resolved experimental study of excitonic magnetic polaron (EMP) dynamics in type II quantum wells ZnMnSe/ZnSSe. Two photoluminescence peaks were observed, which reflects coexistence of localized excitons and EMPs in the same sample. This was possible due to the competition of two localization mechanisms - magnetic localization of heavy holes in the ZnMnSe layers and non-magnetic localization of electrons in the ZnSSe layers.

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.

On the spin injection in ZnMnSe/ZnCdSe heterostructures
- 2002
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- We present results from a detailed study of spin injection in thin II-VI wide band gap semiconductor heterostructures by magnetooptical spectroscopy. It is shown that efficient spin alignment can be achieved in a diluted magnetic semiconductor barrier (a layer of ZnMnSe or ZnMnSe/CdSe superlattice) as thin as 10 nm. Rather efficient spin injection from such a thin spin aligner to a non-magnetic quantum well is demonstrated, even when the tunneling energy barrier is as thick as 10 nm. The effect of spin relaxation process on spin injection is also closely examined.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Magneto-optical spectroscopy in combination with tunable laser excitation is employed to study exciton spin alignment and injection in ZnMnSe/ZnCdSe quantum structures. This approach enables us to selectively create preferred spin orientation and to separately monitor subsequent spin injection from individual spin states, thus shedding light on a possible source of spin loss. It is shown that the limited spin polarization in a nonmagnetic quantum well due to spin injection from a ZnMnSe-based diluted magnetic semiconductor (DMS) is not caused by a limited degree of spin alignment in the DMS, which is in fact complete, but rather occurs during subsequent processes.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Spin depolarization of a ZnCdSe quantum-well spin detector (SD) in ZnMnSe/ZnCdSe light-emitting quantum structures is investigated by cw and time-resolved optical orientation spectroscopy. It is shown that spin depolarization is governed by three distinct spin relaxation processes with the corresponding polarization decay times of 850, 30, and <10 ps. The dominant and the fastest process is attributed to spin relaxation accompanying energy relaxation of hot excitons (and hot carriers) within the SD, providing evidence that it can be an important source of spin loss, leading to the observed limited efficiency of optical spin injection in the structures.

- We report on effective injection of spin-oriented carriers from a semimagnetic semiconductor structure to a non-magnetic ZnCdSe/ZnSe quantum well (QW). A short-period ZnMnSe/CdSe fractional monolayer superlattice was used as a spin injector. The carriers are photo-generated in the semimagnetic region, spin-polarized via the effect of giant Zeeman splitting and then injected into the non-magnetic QW. The spin injection efficiency was estimated by circular polarization measurements of recombination emission from the QW. The maximal detected degree of the spin polarization is about 25%.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The dynamics properties of hot excitons near the effective excitonic mobility edge are investigated in a CdSe/ZnSe superlattice structure where thermalized luminescence of localized excitons is strongly suppressed due to tunneling towards the attached deeper ZnCdSe quantum well. Time-resolved selective-excitation luminescence measurements reveal a rather complicated relaxation behavior involving fast (20-30 ps) acoustical-phonon-assisted selective occupation of states located close to the mobility edge.

Two PL lines are observed in the samples with x equal to 0.05 and 0.15. The lines are attributed to the excitons of two different types, coexisting in the QWs. At least one of them is associated with the formation of an exciton magnetic polaron. © 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

- A ZnSSe/ZnMnSe type-II semimagnetic superlattice was pseudomorphically grown via molecular beam epitaxy on a GaAs substrate. The superlattice-layer thicknesses and compositions were chosen so that compressive strains in the ZnMnSe layer compensated tensile strains in the ZnSSe layer. The photoluminescence spectra in an external magnetic field demonstrate the effect of giant Zeeman splitting of an exciton. Simulation of the luminescence-line shift in a magnetic field allowed us to determine more accurately the band offsets at the ZnSSe/ZnMnSe interface.

Control of spin functionality in ZnMnSe-based structures : Spin switching versus spin alignment
- 2003

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The ability of attaining desired spin functionality by adjusting structural design is demonstrated in diluted magnetic semiconductor (DMS) quantum structures based on II-VI semiconductors. The following spin enabling functions are achieved by tuning the ratio between the rates of exciton spin relaxation within the DMS and exciton escape from it to an adjacent nonmagnetic spin detector. Spin switching is realized when using a thin layer of Zn0.95Mn0.05Se as a spin manipulator and is attributed to a fast exciton escape from the DMS preceding the spin relaxation. Spin alignment is accomplished in tunneling structures where the presence of an energy barrier inserted between a spin manipulator (a DMS-based superlattice) and a spin detector ensures a slow escape rate from the DMS layer.

Exciton Spin Manipulation in ZnMnSe-Based Structures
- 2003
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Strong effect of structural design on spin functionality is observed in quantum structures based on II-VI semiconductors. Spin switching is realized when using a thin layer of Zn0.95Mn0.05Se diluted magnetic semiconductor (DMS) as a spin manipulator. This is evident from the polarization of photoluminescence related to a spin detector (an adjacent nonmagnetic quantum well (QW)) measured under the resonant excitation of the spin-up and spin-down states of the DMS, which is identical in value but opposite in sign. The achieved spin switching is suggested to reflect fast carrier diffusion from the DMS due to the absence of an energy barrier between the upper spin state of the DMS layer and the QW. On the other hand, the spin alignment is accomplished in the tunneling structures where the presence of the energy barrier inserted between a spin manipulator (i.e., a ZnMnSe/CdSe DMS superlattice) and a spin detector ensures a slow escape rate from the DMS layer.

Resonant suppression of exciton spin relaxation in Zn0.96Mn0.04Se/CdSe superlattices

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Spin relaxation processes in strained Zn0.96Mn0.04Se/CdSe superlattices are studied in detail by using hot photoluminescence combined with tunable excitation spectroscopy. A drastic enhancement in occupation of the upper-lying |+1/2,-3/2> state of the heavy-hole excitons is observed when excitation photon energy is resonantly tuned near an integer number of the LO phonon energy above the |+1/2,-3/2> state. Assuming the Boltzmann distribution between the excitonic states, the spin temperature of the excitons is deduced to be as high as 85 K, well above the lattice temperature of 2 K. The observed behavior provides experimental evidence for a surprisingly strong suppression of spin relaxation from the upper spin-split excitonic branch for small values of wave vector.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- We present studies of the excitonic spectrum in superlattices (SLs) of CdSe insertions in a ZnSe matrix aimed at elucidating the CdSe/ZnSe interface morphology. The experimental photoluminescence excitation spectra are compared with the results of variational exciton calculations performed within the effective mass approximation. The shape of the average vertical (along the SL growth axis) distribution of CdSe within each insertion, used in the calculations, was obtained from a theoretical simulation of X-ray diffraction (XRD) rocking curves measured in the same samples. The results indicate that the thinnest layers are graded composition ZnCdSe quantum wells (QWs), generally homogeneous in the layer planes, whereas flat islands enriched by Cd appear at the CdSe nominal thickness larger than 0.5-0.6 monolayer (ML).

Exciton spin relaxation in diluted magnetic semiconductor Zn1-xMnxSe/CdSe superlattices : Effect of spin splitting and role of longitudinal optical phonons

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Exciton spin relaxation in diluted magnetic semiconductor (DMS) structures based on ZnMnSe is closely examined as a function of exciton spin splitting in an external magnetic field. A drastic increase in spin relaxation is observed when exciton spin splitting exceeds the longitudinal optical (LO) phonon energy. Direct experimental evidence has been provided from (1) spin injection from the DMS to an adjacent nonmagnetic quantum well that can be modulated by the LO-assisted spin relaxation and (2) hot exciton photoluminescence within the DMS where a spin flip is accompanied by the emission of one LO phonon.

- BACKGROUND. The authors previously sought to identify novel markers of glioma invasion and recurrence. Their research demonstrated that brain gliomas overexpressed a subset of vascular basement components, laminins, that contained the alpha4 chain. One of these laminins, laminin-8, was found to be present in highly invasive and malignant glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) (Grade 4 astrocytoma); its expression was associated with a decreased time to tumor recurrence, and it was found in vitro to promote invasion of GBM cell lines. METHODS. in the current study, the authors studied glial tumors of different grades in an attempt to correlate laminin-8 expression with tumor recurrence and patient survival. Immunohistochemistry and Western blot analysis were used to detect laminin isoforms of interest. RESULTS. Using immunohistochemistry and Western blot analysis, the authors confirmed high levels of laminin-8 expression in approximately 75% of the GBM cases examined and in their adjacent tissues, whereas astrocytomas of lower grades expressed for the most part a different isoform, laminin-9, which also was found in low amounts in normal brain tissue and benign meningiomas. Overexpression of laminin-8 in GBM was found to be associated with a statistically significant shorter time to tumor recurrence (P < 0.0002) and a decreased patient survival time (P < 0.015). CONCLUSIONS. The data suggest that laminin-8, which may facilitate tumor invasion, contributes to tumor regrowth after therapy. Laminin-8 may be used as a predictor of tumor recurrence and patient survival and as a potential molecular target for glioma therapy.

- 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.
