U.S.-France Cooperative Research: Optical Absorption in P-Type ALGaAs/GaAs Multi-Quantum-Well Infrared Detectors

这个为期三年的奖项支持科罗拉多大学的Arnoldo Majerfeld和法国巴黎高等物理和工业化学学院的Pierre Tronc在固态和微观结构方面的美法合作研究。他们的研究目的是研究p型砷化镓多量子阱和超晶格的物理性质。他们将研究它们在红外光电探测器和成像中的应用。美国研究人员为此次合作带来了这些结构的制造和电学和光学特性方面的专业知识。法国在光吸收和电输运方面的理论和计算专业知识补充了这一点。所提出的研究具有重要的商业应用，并将促进对正入射红外光电探测器设计的理解。＊＊＊

9315393 Majerfeld This three-year award supports U.S.-France cooperative research in solid state and microstructures between Arnoldo Majerfeld, University of Colorado, and Pierre Tronc, Ecole Superieure de Physique et de Chimie Industrielles, Paris, France. The objective of their research is to investigate the physical properties of p- type gallium arsenide multi-quantum wells and superlattices. They will examine their use in infrared photodectors and imaging. The U.S. investigator brings to this collaboration expertise in the fabrication and electrical and optical characterization of these structures. This is complemented by the French theoretical and computational expertise in optical absorption and electrical transport. The proposed research has important commercial applications and will advance understanding of the design of normal incidence infrared photodectors. ***
