ABSTRACTAtomic layer epitaxy(ALE) of III-V compound semiconductors is reviewed. This technology has grown in recent years because of potential applications to nanometer-order structures as well as to monolayer/cycle growth with high-uniformity in growth thickness, and to excellent selective-area growth. Recent developments in chloride ALE of various compounds and heterostructures are described. Potentials of ALE for producing such fine structures are shown.

ABSTRACTThe potential applications of Atomic Layer Epitaxy of III–V compounds will be outlined. These include the growth of special structures and devices such as ordered alloys, ultra-thin quantum wells, non-alloyed contacts, planar doped FET's and HBT's. Also, the main challenges facing ALE will be outlined along with possible solutions. These include reactor design, control of carbon doping and the growth of ternary alloys. A general assessment of the ALE technology will be provided.

ABSTRACTWe have developed a selective-area-growth (SAG) method of self-assembled InAs quantum dots (QDs) using a metal-mask (MM) combined with molecular beam epitaxy for realizing photonic crystal (PC) based ultra-small and ultra-fast all-optical devices (PC-SMZ and PC-FF). Successful SAG of QDs was confirmed by atomic-force-microscopy observations and photoluminescence (PL) measurements. High density and high uniformity comparable to those of conventional QDs grown without the MM were achieved; the QD density was 4 × 1010cm-2 and a linewidth of the PL peak was around 30meV at room temperature. In addition, insertion of a strain-reducing layer on the grown QD was effective for varying the PL peak wavelength of the QD from 1240nm to 1320nm without any extra optical degradation. The MM method reported here is promising for achieving the all optical devices, PC-SMZ and PC-FF, which require SAG of QDs and a QD ensemble with a different absorption-peak wavelength in a different area.

Ambulatory assessment of emotional states as well as psychophysiological, cognitive and behavioral reactions constitutes an approach, which is increasingly being used in psychological research. Due to new developments in the field of information and communication technologies and an improved application of mobile physiological sensors, various new systems have been introduced. Methods of experience sampling allow to assess dynamic changes of subjective evaluations in real time and new sensor technologies permit a measurement of physiological responses. In addition, new technologies facilitate the interactive assessment of subjective, physiological, and behavioral data in real-time. Here, we describe these recent developments from the perspective of engineering science and discuss potential applications in the field of neuropsychology.
