          Abstract

          The results obtained from the growth and characterization of AlχGa1–χ As/GaAs multilayer structures by a Metalorganic Chemical Vapor Deposition (MOCVD) system based on metallic arsenic are presented. The MOCVD system was adapted in order to be used for the growth of quantum wells structures. Our main goal is to explore the capability of this growth system for growing high quality multilayer structures, including quantum wells. The use of metallic arsenic to replace the hydride group V precursor (AsH3), could introduce important differences into the growth process due to the absence of atomic hydrogen. The main electrical and optical characteristics of both GaAs y AlχGa1–χ As epilayers to be used for the fabrication of multilayer structures are discussed. The assessment of these epilayers and structures was carried out using low temperature photoluminescence (PL), Hall effect measurements, X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, secondary ion mass spectroscopy (SIMS) and Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM).

          Se presentan los resultados del crecimiento y caracterización de estructuras multicapa de AlχGa1–χ As/GaAs utilizando un sistema para depositar películas semiconductoras a base de precursores metalorgánicos y arsénico sólido (MOCVD, de Metalorganic Chemical Vapor Deposition). El sistema MOCVD se adaptó para crecer estructuras semiconductoras con pozos cuánticos. El objetivo central de este trabajo fue explorar la capacidad del sistema MOCVD para realizar estructuras de alta calidad, que incluyan pozos cuánticos. El uso de arsénico metálico para sustituir a la arsina como precursor del grupo V (AsH3), puede introducir diferencias importantes en el proceso de crecimiento por la ausencia de hidrogeno atómico. Se discuten las principales características eléctricas y ópticas de las películas de GaAs y AlχGa1–χ As usadas en la realización de las estructuras multicapa. La evaluación de las películas y de las estructuras se realizó por mediciones de fotoluminiscencia (PL) a baja temperatura, difracción de rayos-X, espectroscopia Raman, espectroscopia de masas de iones secundarios (SIMS) y microscopia de fuerza atómica (AFM).

            Bilayer Graphene Quantum Dot Defined by Topgates

            We investigate the application of nanoscale topgates on exfoliated bilayer graphene to define quantum dot devices. At temperatures below 500 mK the conductance underneath the grounded gates is suppressed, which we attribute to nearest neighbour hopping and strain-induced piezoelectric fields. The gate-layout can thus be used to define resistive regions by tuning into the corresponding temperature range. We use this method to define a quantum dot structure in bilayer graphene showing Coulomb blockade oscillations consistent with the gate layout.

              Fluxonic Cellular Automata

              We formulate a new concept for computing with quantum cellular automata composed of arrays of nanostructured superconducting devices. The logic states are defined by the position of two trapped flux quanta (vortices) in a 2x2 blind-hole-matrix etched on a mesoscopic superconducting square. Such small computational unit-cells are well within reach of current fabrication technology. In an array of unit-cells, the vortex configuration of one cell influences the penetrating flux lines in the neighboring cell through the screening currents. Alternatively, in conjoined cells, the information transfer can be strengthened by the interactions between the supercurrents in adjacent cells. Here we present the functioning logic gates based on this fluxonic cellular automata (FCA), where the logic operations are verified through theoretical simulations performed in the framework of the time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau theory. The input signals are defined by current loops placed on top of the two diagonal blind holes of the input cell. For given current-polarization, external flux lines are attracted or repelled by the loops, forming the '0' or '1' configuration. The read-out technology may be chosen from a large variety of modern vortex imaging methods, transport and LDOS measurements.
