研究领域
杨涛博士长期从事半导体材料、器件与物理研究,尤其在氮化物半导体新材料、光子晶体和纳米结构半导体量子点材料及器件应用等前沿领域中取得了多项创新性成果。
代表性研究工作
1)理论上建立了适于III族氮化物半导体电子能带结构计算的紧束缚近似模型。该模型被国际同行称作“标准的紧束缚近似模型”;
2)基于此模型给出了III族氮化物合金材料的能带图、禁带、电子有效质量等表征其物理特性的重要物理量。这些物理量对基于III族氮化物半导体材料的光电子器件的设计与模拟,材料物理特性的实验研究等具有重要意义;
3)理论上证明了V族立方相氮化物合金(InAsN)具有大的带隙弯曲参量,预言此材料可作为发展长波长信息功能器件的新材料;
4)提出了“高温缓冲层”概念,用“三步生长法”取代“传统的两步生长法”在蓝宝石衬底上用MOCVD制备出高质量GaN晶体。这对于发展GaN基的光电子器件具有重要的现实意义;
5)近年,主要致力于低维半导体量子点材料与器件应用的研究并取得了一系列成果:如,在国际上证明了最均匀的1.3微米辐射InAs/GaAs自组织量子点材料(非均匀展宽<17 meV);报道了快速退火能使长波长量子点产生大的波长蓝移现象,阐明了产生这一现象的物理机理;在国内实现了无外部致冷、高速(10 Gb/s)、直接调制的1.3微米GaAs基量子点激光器,报道了基于InAs/GaAs量子点材料的中间能带太阳能电池等。
