I finished today the preparation of the tutorial for the Autumn Meeting of the Brazilian Physical Society .
I looking forward to give talk about molecular beam epitaxy: “MOLECULAR BEAM EPITAXY – A VERSATILE METHOD FOR THE NANO-AGE “.
In this tutorial, I would like to give an overview of MBE covering its importance for basic science providing
samples for quantum mechanical studies – like the quantum hall effect, single photon sources or Kondo effect – as well as for device structures including high efficient solar cells, quantum cascade lasers or high mobilitytransistors. I will cover the basics of epitaxial growth, do an introduction, what a heterostructure is and its possibilities for band structure design. To illustrate these possibilities, I will take about photoluminescence from heterostructures like quantum wells and quantum dots and discuss, how a 2D electron gas emerge at heterostructure boundaries. I will provide examples from our research to explain basic growth phenomena from flat layer to pattern substrates and luminescence from semiconductor nanostructures fabricated in our labs. Finally, it will try to provide an outlook of material system beyond classical semiconductor structures.
Hope to see you there.
