Optical Manipulation of Group III Atoms

在这个项目中，激光将在III-V异质结构的分子束外延过程中直接聚焦镓和铟原子。聚焦III族原子的能力特别有趣，因为它们是现代III-V半导体激光器的关键组成部分。光学方法将在纳米结构的位置和大小方面提供前所未有的控制。因此，这项工作具有在系统水平上革新纳米制造的潜力，并将对光电子学领域和异质结构物理学产生重大影响。

In this project laser light forces will be used to directly focus gallium and indium atoms during the molecular beam epitaxy of III-V heterostructures. The ability to focus the Group III atoms is particularly interesting because they are the key building blocks of modern III-V semiconductor lasers. The optical method will provide unprecedented control in the location and size of the nanostructures. Thus, the work has the potential of revolutionizing nanofabrication at the system level, and will have significant impact on the field of optoelectronics and on the physics of heterostructures.
