Formation and testing of A3-B5-Bi quantum derivatives for near-IR sources

Operation co-funded by EU cohesion policy (European Social Fund (ESF)) under the programme EU Structural Funds Investments - LT - ERDF/ESF/CF/YEI (2014LT16MAOP001), managing authority: Finansų ministerija. The source names no beneficiary for this operation. Location: Vilnius County (NUTS LT011); Lithuania. Budget: total eligible expenditure EUR 2,816.33; EU co-financing EUR 2,816.33 (co-financing rate 100%), as stated by the source. Runs 2018-10-01 to 2019-04-30. Source: Kohesio, EU cohesion policy projects managed by national and regional authorities (not CORDIS); selected because its title uses a quantum word. Summary from Kohesio (English machine translation by the source): The aim of the proposed project is the development of technology for quantum tri-member GaAsBi formations for active media of near-range IR sources. The project will focus on optimising the technology of multiple GaAsBi quantum pits (MQW) with intense luminescence at 1.0-1.2 μm wavelengths. Radiation sources of this wavelength could be used for environmental protection of atmospheric pollution, “green” home monitoring, air and water pollution measurement. Future applications are also linked to medical spectroscopic systems and biosensors for non-invasive disease recognition and imaging, the food industry to detect very low doses of toxic bio-products. During the project, the technology of molecular fibre epitaxia of active bismide quantum pit media issuing at 1.0-1.2 μm wavelengths will be optimised. A study will be carried out covering the cultivation and testing of quantum pits of GaAsBi with different Bi content and different shapes, stress and width, and a search for the most appropriate material for the barrier and its growing parameters. X-ray diffraction, photoluminescence, microscopy of atomic forces, scanning electron microscopy and translucent electron microscopy will assess the influence of technological conditions on the optical properties of quantum formations.
