The thermoelectric efficiency of quantum dots in indium arsenide/indium phosphide nanowires

Search the library catalog for the location and call number. / State of the art semiconductor materials engineering provides the possibility to fabricate devices on the lower end of the mesoscopic scale and confine only a handful of electrons to a region of space. When the thermal energy is reduced below the energetic quantum level spacing, the confined electrons assume energy levels akin to the core-shell structure of natural atoms. Such "artificial atoms", also known as quantum dots, can be loaded with electrons, one-by-one, and subsequently unloaded using source and drain electrical contacts. As such, quantum dots are uniquely tunable platforms for performing quantum transport and quantum control experiments. Voltage-biased electron transport through quantum dots has been studied extensively. Far less attention has been given to thermoelectric effects in quantum dots, that is, electron transport induced by a temperature gradient. This dissertation focuses on the efficiency of direct thermal-to-electric energy conversion in InAs/InP quantum dots embedded in nanowires. The efficiency of thermoelectric heat engines is bounded by the same maximum efficiency as cyclic heat engines; namely, by Carnot efficiency. The efficiency of bulk thermoelectric materials suffers from their inability to transport charge carriers selectively based on energy. Owing to their three-dimensional momentum quantization, quantum dots operate as electron energy filters--a property which can be harnessed to minimize entropy production and therefore maximize efficiency. This research was motivated by the possibility to realize experimentally a thermodynamic heat engine operating with near-Carnot efficiency using the unique behavior of quantum dots. To this end, a microscopic heating scheme for the application of a temperature difference across a quantum dot was developed in conjunction with a novel quantum-dot thermometry technique used for quantifying the magnitude of the applied temperature difference. While pursuing high-efficiency thermoelectric performance, many mesoscopic thermoelectric effects were observed and studied, including Coulomb-blockade thermovoltage oscillations, thermoelectric power generation, and strong nonlinear behavior. In the end, a quantum-dot-based thermoelectric heat engine was achieved and demonstrated an electronic efficiency of up to 95% Carnot efficiency. / Committee in charge: Stephen Kevan, Chairperson, Physics; Heiner Linke, Member, Physics; Roger Haydock, Member, Physics; Stephen Hsu, Member, Physics; David Johnson, Outside Member, Chemistry

Os filmes de SnO2, dopados com Ce3+, foram depositados a partir do método sol-gel usando as técnicas de dip e spin coating; os filmes de GaAs foram depositados por evaporação resistiva e por sputtering. As heterojunçõesforam constituídas de filmes de SnO2 sobre filmes de GaAs, e filmes de GaAs sobre filmes de SnO2. Foram investigadas as propriedades ópticas, estruturais, morfológicas e elétricas de filmes finos constituintes das heterojunções e também a influência do dopante Ce3+. Entre os experimentos realizados estão: transmitância óptica, difração de raios X, microscopia eletrônica de varredura (MEV), microscopia óptica, microscopia de força atômica (AFM), fotoluminescência e medidas elétricas na presença de excitações com diferentes fontes de luz monocromáticas (quarto harmônico do laser Nd:YAG (266nm), laser He-Ne (628nm), LED InGaN (450nm)). Entre as principais conclusões, verificou-se: 1) em algumas situações, condutividade independente da temperatura, sugerindo a participação de um gás de elétrons bidimensional (2DEG) na interface SnO2/GaAs; 2) o tamanho dos cristalitos, calculado a partir das análises de difração de raios X, fornece valores da ordem de 10nm tanto para filmes de SnO2 como para filmes de GaAs; 3) a energia de bandgap, avaliada com base em dados de medidas de absorbância, fornece um valor máximo de 3,6 eV para filmes de dióxido de estanho e 1,6eV para filmes de GaAs; 4) MEV e microscopia óptica de para filmes de GaAs (depositado por evaporação resistiva e sputtering) apresentam sua superfície heterogênea, com partículas de variados tamanhos. Além disso, a aderência de filmes de SnO2 sobre filmes de GaAs está relacionada com a técnica utilizada para depositar os filmes da camada de base, o melhor resultado foi obtido quando a camada é a de GaAs depositado por evaporação resistiva. Isto foi verificado utilizando microscopia de força atômica, onde ficou evidente que filmes de GaAs depositado por evaporação resistiva possuem grandes aglomerados enquanto filmes depositados por sputtering possuem uma superfície com material distribuído de maneira uniforme. Também foram realizadas medidas de fotoluminescência com excitação de um laser de Kr+ sintonizado na linha de 350nm e também utilizando um laser de He-Cd na linha de 325nm, tanto em filmes como em pastilhas de SnO2 dopado com 1at% Ce3+e também em filmes da heterojunção SnO2:Ce3+/GaAs, sendo observadas pequenas bandas características do Ce3+. / The aim of this work is to present the development and the main conclusions, related the investigation of thin film SnO2/GaAs heterojunction. Ce3+- doped SnO2 thin films were deposited by the sol-gel-dip and -spin coating techniques, whereas GaAs films were deposited by resistive evaporation and sputtering. Heterojunctions were deposited by SnO2 layer growth on top of GaAs film, and in the opposite order: GaAs on top of SnO2. Optical, structural, morphologic and electrical properties of heterojunction films were investigated, as well as the influence of Ce-doping in these measurements. Experiments carried out include: optical transmission, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), optical microscopy, atomic force microscopy (AFM), photoluminescence and electrical measurements under optical excitation. In this last case the excitation sources are monochromatic light from the fourth harmonic of a Nd:YAG laser (266nm), a He-Ne laser (628nm) and a InGaN LED (450nm). Among the main conclusions, it was verified that: 1) in some situations, a temperature independent electrical resistivity was observed and attributed to the possible formation of a two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) at SnO2/GaAs interface; 2) crystallite size was calculated from X-ray diffraction data, being about 10 nm either for SnO2 films as GaAs films; 3) bandgap energy, evaluated from absorbance data yield a maximum value of about 3.6eV for tin dioxide and 1.6eV for GaAs films; 4) SEM images, obtained for GaAs thin films deposited by resistive evaporation and for the heterojunction SnO2/GaAs, and optical microscopy, for sputtering deposited GaAs films and heterojunction samples, show that GaAs films present an heterogeneous surface, with particles of several distinct sizes. Besides, the adherence of SnO2 films on the GaAs layer is related to the used technique for depositing the base layer, being better in the case of resistive evaporation deposited GaAs. This was verified by atomic force microscopy, where it was evidenced that resistive evaporation deposited GaAs films present large agglomerates whereas sputtering deposited films present a surface with more uniformly distributed material. Photoluminescence data was also obtained with excitation by a Kr+ laser tuned at 350nm as well as a He-Cd laser at 325nm, either in Ce 1at% doped SnO2 pellets as SnO2:Ce3+/GaAs heterojunction, being observed small bands, characteristic of Ce3+.
