Quantum Pits: Unveiling the Microscopic Realm of Optoelectronics

Quantum Pits Quantum pits are fascinating semiconductor heterostructures that confine electrons and holes in two dimensions, creating unique electronic and optical properties. These structures are typically formed by growing a thin layer of a narrow-bandgap semiconductor, such as indium gallium arsenide (InGaAs), between two layers of a wider-bandgap semiconductor, such as gallium arsenide (GaAs). In … Read more
