摘要

Quantum-dot (QD) intermediate-band (IB) materials are regarded as promising candidates for high-efficiency\udphotovoltaics. The sequential two-step two-photon absorption processes that take place in these materials\udhave been proposed to develop high-efficiency solar cells and infrared (IR) photodetectors. In this work, we\udexperimentally and theoretically study the interrelation of the absorptivity with transitions of carriers to and\udfrom the IB in type-II GaSb/GaAs QD devices. Our devices exhibit three optical band gaps with: EL = 0.49 eV,\udEH = 1.02 eV, and EG = 1.52 eV, with the IB located 0.49 eV above the valence band. These values are well\udsupported by semiempirical calculations of the QDs electronic structure. Through intensity-dependent two-photon\udphotocurrent experiments, we are able to vary the filling state of the IB, thus modifying the absorptivity of the\udtransitions to and from this band. By filling the IB with holes via E = 1.32 eV or E = 1.93 eV monochromatic\udillumination, we demonstrate an increase in the EL-related absorptivity of more than two orders of magnitude\udand a decrease in the EH-related absorptivity of one order of magnitude. The antisymmetrical evolution of those\udabsorptivities is quantitatively explained by a photoinduced shift of the quasi-Fermi level of the IB. Furthermore,\udwe report the observation of a two-photon photovoltage, i.e., the contribution of subband gap two-photon\udabsorption to increase the open-circuit voltage of solar cells. We find that the generation of the two-photon\udphotovoltage is related, in general, to the production of a two-photon photocurrent. However, while photons with\udenergy close to EL participate in the production of the two-photon photocurrent, they are not effective in the\udproduction of a two-photon photovoltage.We also report the responsivity of GaSb/GaAs QD devices performing\udas optically triggered photodetectors. These devices exhibit an amplification factor of almost 400 in the IR\udspectral region. This high value is achieved by minimizing—via doping—the absorptivity in the IR range of the QDs under equilibrium conditions.\ud©2017 American Physical Society
