Using 800 nm, 25-fs pulses from a mode locked Ti:Al2O3 laser, we have measured the ultrafast opticalreflectivity of MBE-grown, single-layer In0.4Ga0.6As/GaAs quantum-dot (QD) samples. The QDs are formed via two-stage Stranski-Krastanov growth: following initial InGaAs deposition at a relatively low temperature, self assembly of the QDs occurs during a subsequent higher temperature anneal. The capture times for free carriers excited in the surrounding GaAs (barrier layer) are as short as 140 fs, indicating capture efficiencies for the InGaAs quantum layer approaching 1. The capture rates are positively correlated with initial InGaAs thickness and …


Ion Beam Mixing In Ag-Pd Alloys, J L. Klatt, R S. Averback, David Peak Jan 1989

Ion Beam Mixing In Ag-Pd Alloys, J L. Klatt, R S. Averback, David Peak

Ion beam mixing during 750 keV Kr+ irradiation at 80 K was measured on a series of Ag‐Pd alloys using Au marker atoms. The mixing in pure Ag was the greatest and it decreased monotonically with increasing Pd content, being a factor of 10 higher in pure Ag than in pure Pd. This large difference in mixing cannot be explained by the difference in cohesion energy between Ag and Pd in the thermodynamic model of ion beam mixing proposed by Johnson et al. [W. L. Johnson, Y. T. Cheng, M. Van Rossum, and M‐A. Nicolet, Nucl. …


The Role Of Diffusion In The Binding Of Carbon Monoxide To Protoheme In High-Viscosity Solvents, David Peak Jan 1982

The Role Of Diffusion In The Binding Of Carbon Monoxide To Protoheme In High-Viscosity Solvents, David Peak

All Physics Faculty Publications

Studies of the flash photolysis of heme‐bearing proteins have often assessed the role of ligand diffusion in very approximate ways and a disagreement about the importance of ligand diffusion exists in the literature as a result. This paper provides a somewhat more sytematic analysis of diffusional effects than has been given previously for the simple case of ligand–protoheme binding. The model developed here is fit to the available data for the ligand CO in glycerol–water solvents. The fit suggests that diffusional motions become important for the kinetics of this system for temperatures below 270 K and that these motions are …
