Abstract

Applied Science and Convergence Technology (ASCT) is an international peer-reviewed online

journal publishing research articles. It aims to enhance the knowledge of vacuum and related science

& technologies by providing research information with easy access via web. ASCT has six major

fields: vacuum technology, surface and interface science, plasma and display, semiconductors and thin

films, nano and biointerface, and energy technology. It was first issued by the Korean Vacuum Society

in 1992 under the name of Journal of Korean Vacuum Science & Technology (JKVST). ASCT is the

continued on-line journal of the JKVST since 2014. It is listed as a top prestigious journal of Korea

Research Foundation. (The word number in abstract should be 100 – 200)

1. Introduction

Applied Science and Convergence Technology (ASCT) is an international peer-reviewed online

journal publishing research articles. It aims to enhance the knowledge of vacuum and related science

& technologies by providing research information with easy access via web [1]. ASCT has six major

fields: vacuum technology, surface and interface science, plasma and display, semiconductors and thin

films, nano and biointerface, and energy technology [2,3].

2. Experimental details

It was first issued by the Korean Vacuum Society in 1992 under the name of Journal of Korean

Vacuum Science & Technology (JKVST) [4–7]. ASCT is the continued on-line journal of the JKVST

since 2014. It is listed as a top prestigious journal of Korea Research Foundation.

3. Results and discussion

3.1. Optical properties

Photoluminescence

Figure 1 shows photoluminescence (PL) spectra at 6 K for as grown samples. An optical

microscopy image of the produced pattern is shown in Fig. 2. Temperature-dependent integrated PL

intensity can be determined using the following Arrhenius equation,

(1)

where I0 is the integrated PL intensity at 0 K, a, b, and c are constants related to the energy density of

states, E is the thermal activation energy of the low-temperature quenching processes, and ELO and m

are phonon energy and the number of phonons, respectively. From Eq. (1), we expect that the mode

shifts depend on irradiation time. From Eqs. (1) and (2), we expect that the mode shifts depend on

2

irradiation time. From Eqs. (1)-(3), we expect that the mode shifts depend on irradiation time. These

values are lower than the theoretical values estimated by Kim et al.[1].

Atomic Force Microscope

Figure 3(a) shows the color-coded volumetric strain profile. The PL peak shift for samples

capped with TiO2 and SiO2 after annealing at 850 °C for different times is summarized in Fig. 3(b).

The FWHM of the PL spectra for the SiO2 capped area slightly decreases compared to that of as-

grown samples [Fig. 3(c)].

3.2. Structural properties

Figures 4(a) and 4(b) show AFM images of the uncapped surfaces of CdZnTe/ZnTe

nanostructures with Cd mole fractions of 0.6 and 0.75, respectively. The results for PL spectra

measured at several temperatures for the CdTe and ZnTe structure are shown in Figs. 4(c) and 4(d),

respectively. Figures 5(a)–(c) show schematic diagrams of the process flow for the fabrication of the

pattern. The corresponding electric field intensity distribution profiles are plotted in Figs. 5(e)–(g).

The densities, the heights, and the diameters for CdTe/ZnTe QDs grown on GaAs and Si

substrates are tabulated in Table I. The activation energies of the electrons confined in CdZnTe/ZnTe

nanostructures are summarized in Tables I and II.

4. Conclusions

ASCT accepts research paper, review paper, rapid communications, brief reports and technical

notes. It publishes articles immediately after the review process if manuscript is determined as

acceptance. All articles must be submitted via online manuscript submission system (http://www.e-

asct.org) and peer review is also done electronically. All of submitted manuscripts should be written in

English. The official title of the journal is Applied Science and Convergence Technology and its

abbreviation is ASCT. Submission is open to any researcher who deals the subject in the above-

mentioned six major fields.
