The base contains gallium arsenide; the post,
aluminum gallium arsenide; and the 200 - nanometer - thick microdisk cap, quantum dots of indium arsenide embedded in gallium arsenide.
They bonded a thin layer of indium phosphide, a compound that acts as a medium for the laser, onto silicon sheets by exposing both materials to a blast of hot, electrically charged oxygen atoms; the indium phosphide was spiked with
aluminum gallium indium arsenide to give it added speed.
Ordinarily in such a system, electrons in gallium arsenide are repelled by
aluminum gallium arsenide, and would not go through the barrier layer.
In other words, it is the internal structure itself that renders
aluminum gallium nitride / gallium nitride HEMTs rad - hard.
Compared to similar
aluminum gallium arsenide / gallium arsenide HEMTs, the gallium nitride - based HEMTs are ten times more tolerant of radiation - induced displacement damage.

gallium aluminum arsenide on a
gallium arsenide substrate.
«So if you want a material that will emit pure blue laser light for an LCD screen, instead of going in the laboratory and trying to figure out what combination of
gallium, arsenic,
aluminum, and three other components would give you the best blue light, you can make thousands of combinations of those components and automatically test each one to see which is the best,» says Johnson.
Likely materials include silicon - germanium,

aluminum arsenide and certain oxide superlattices.
Physicist Tony Kent and his colleagues at the University of Nottingham in England managed to create such an amplifier from a thin, layered lattice made of two semiconductors,

To concentrate the energy of laser light to an even finer area, the team patterned
aluminum dots of various sizes, from tens of micrometers down to 30 nanometers, across the surface of silicon, silicon germanium alloy,
