Outline of Final Research Achievements

InGaN/InGaN heterostructures with thicknesses of 1.5, 2,4 and 3.0 nm in the InGaN layer were fabricated as an example of atomic layer heterostructures. The heterojunction was irradiated with a femtosecond laser, and the relationship between propagation and charge dynamics in the GaN was studied, where optical carrier injection in InGaN quantum wells resolves the distortion in the heterojunction surface stress and simultaneously generates terahertz acoustic phonon pulses. (Currently writing a paper.)
We have also developed a new theoretical equations to describe the fast electron dynamics near the surface of a graphene/semiconductor by means of photo-excitation of the carrier injection at the junction surface.We also studied the photo excitation of the excitonsin carbon nanotubes,which are good candidates as a base material of the hot electron emitting junnctions, and reveal their ultrafast fast carrier dynamics.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

原子層ヘテロ接合極限高速トランジスタ開発に向けて、光励起による電荷注入について検討した。GaN/InGaN超格子を作製し、電荷注入により、ヘテロ接合内の歪が解放されると同時にテラヘルツ帯音調フォノンが生成伝搬し、表面で強いテラヘルツ波を放射することを見出した。また、エミッター開発に不可欠な高速光電荷の振る舞いを記述する新しい理論式を提案し、高速トランジスターベース材料として、グラフェン・ナノチューブの利用も検討した。その結果、ナノチューブの高速エキシトン解離のメカニズムを明らかにするなど、今後の高速デバイス開発に資するホットエレクトロンエミッターの基礎を築いた。
