The novel design of embedded InN dot-like structure within InGaN was useful as an absorption layer in photovoltaic (Pv) cells. We constructed the simulation model by employing the commercial software APSYS? and integrating the absorption coefficient of thin InN materials fabricated by metal organic vapor deposition (MOCvD). The model of simulating gradient Indium content of InGaN used as transition interface between InN and GaN was investigated. The results exhibit utilizing the effective variation of Indium content and suitable thickness to approach the optimal characteristic of hybrid InN/InGaN structure within solar cells shall be anticipated to enhance the performance of current nitride-based solar cells.

Wannier90 is an open-source computer program for calculating maximally-localised Wannier functions (MLWFs) from a set of Bloch states. It is interfaced to many widely used electronic-structure codes thanks to its independence from the basis sets representing these Bloch states. In the past few years the development of Wannier90 has transitioned to a community-driven model;this has resulted in a number of new developments that have been recently released in Wannier90 v3.0. In this article we describe these new functionalities, that include the implementation of new features for wannierisation and disentanglement (symmetry-adapted Wannier functions, selectively-localised Wannier functions, selected columns of the density matrix) and the ability to calculate new properties (shift currents and Berry-curvature dipole, and a new interface to many-body perturbation theory);performance improvements, including parallelisation of the core code;enhancements in functionality (support for spinor-valued Wannier functions, more accurate methods to interpolate quantities in the Brillouin zone);improved usability (improved plotting routines, integration with high-throughput automation frameworks), as well as the implementation of modern software engineering practices (unit testing, continuous integration, and automatic source-code documentation). These new features, capabilities, and code development model aim to further sustain and expand the community uptake and range of applicability, that nowadays spans complex and accurate dielectric, electronic, magnetic, optical, topological and transport properties of materials.

The heterostructure design for 1.55 μm range vCSELs is proposed and realized. The wafer fusion technique was used to form the final heterostructure. The growth of AlGaAs/GaAs distributed Bragg reflectors (DBRs) on GaAs substrate and the optical cavity with an active region on InP substrate as well as a tunnel junction (TJ) regrowth was performed by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). A key feature of the proposed design is the use of n++-InGaAs/p++-InGaAs/p++-InAlGaAs TJ, which allows, due to the effective removal of oxide from the InGaAs surface, to use MBE for re-growth of the TJ surface relief. Despite of the presence in heterostructure a narrow-gap InGaAs layers, a noticeable increase in internal optical loss in lasers can be avoided due to the short-wavelength shift of the edge of interband light absorption in ++-InGaAs layers (Burshtein-Moss effect). Fabricated vCSELs demonstrate single-mode operation with a threshold current less than 2 mA and a slope efficiency of ~ 0.46 W/A, which are comparable with characteristics of vCSELs with n++/p++-InAlGaAs TJ with a similar level of mirror losses.

Complex influence of photon lifetime (controlled by the mirror loss) and aperture size on the performance of 850 nm InGaAlAs oxide-confined vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (vCSELs) with fully doped AlGaAs-based distributed Bragg reflectors (DBR) was investigated. We find a tradeoff between photon lifetime and gain nonlinearity for maximizing the optical bandwidth, leading to the optimum aperture size close to 4-6 μm. In spite of the reduced photon lifetime (from 4 ps to 1 ps), the excess damping caused by the current-induced self-heating limits the ultimate modulation bandwidth for the given vCSELs design at 24-25 GHz. Further improvement in high frequency characteristics can be facilitated by decrease of the heat generation and improvement of the heat removal from the active region as well as by proper engineering of the scattering loss at the oxide aperture while keeping the low capacitance optimizing design of the oxide aperture.
