In-Plane Magnetolumnescence of Modulation-Doped GaAs/AlGaAs Coupled Double Quantum Wells

In-plane magnetic field photoluminescence spectra from a series of GaAs/AlGaAs coupled double quantum wells show distinctive doublet structures related to the symmetric and antisymmetric states. The magnetic field behavior of the upper transition from the antisymmetric state strongly depends on sample mobility. In lower mobility samples, the transition energy shows an $\cal N$-type kink with fields (namely a maximum followed by a minimum), whereas higher mobility samples have a linear dependence. The former is due to a homogeneous broadening of electron and hole states and the results are in good agreement with theoretical calculations.Comment: 3 pages, 4 figures, submitted to Appl. Phys.

Lyo Calculator – the Calculator of Primary Freeze-Drying

Freeze-drying (lyophilization) is an important process of a pharmaceutical solution state transformation for storage. Due to complexities of the process and costs related to experiments, numerical simulations of freeze-drying become more useful and cost-efficient for research and development of the process and the hardware. Many numerical models have been created to model separate steps of the drying process. However, these models are not available for any user. This work presents an open-source model of primary drying in a vial. Pseudo steady- state heat and mass transfer model was used to compute vapor pressure, drying time, product temperature, and percent of fluid dried as functions of time. To verify the numerical model, results were compared to experimental data of a mannitol (5%) solution and a numerical model created by M.J. Pikal. Results show accuracy within 20% at low chamber pressures and shelf temperatures. Simulations and analysis showed that the tool can be successfully used as a basic approximation of drying results for a single vial and constant chamber pressure and shelf temperature

Novel critical field in magneto-resistance oscillation of 2DEG in asymmetric GaAs/AlGaAs double wells measured as a function of the in-plane magnetic field

We have investigated the magnetoresistance of strongly asymmetric double-well structures formed by a thin AlGaAs barrier grown far from the interface in the GaAs buffer of standard heterostructures. In magnetic fields oriented parallel to the electron layers, the magnetoresistance exhibits an oscillation associated with the depopulation of the higher occupied subband and with the field-induced transition into a decoupled bilayer. In addition, the increasing field transfers electrons from the triangular to rectangular well and, at high enough field value, the triangular well is emptied. Consequently, the electronic system becomes a single layer which leads to a sharp step in the density of electron states and to an additional minimum in the magnetoresistance curve.Comment: 3 pages, 3 figure
