 | Scarpulla, Michael | Near-infrared absorption and semimetal-semiconductor transition in 2 nm ErAs nanoparticles embedded in GaAs and AlAs | We report strong near-infrared absorption peaks in epitaxial films of GaAs and AlAs containing approximately 0.5-5% of the semimetal ErAs. The energy of the resonant absorption peak can be changed from 0.62 to 1.0 eV (2.2-1.4 μm) by variation of the ErAs volume fraction and the substrate temperatu... | Near-infrared absorption; Semimetal-semiconductor transition; GaAs; AlAs; ErAs; Gallium arsenide; Aluminum arsenide | 2008 |
