Three-dimensional control of self-assembled quantum dot configurations.
We demonstrate techniques for growing three-dimensional quantum dot configurations using molecular beam epitaxy on faceted template islands. Molecular beam shadowing leads to new geometries through selective nucleation of the dots on the template edges. Strain-induced stacking converts the planar configurations into three-dimensional structures. The resulting dot morphologies and their configur...
متن کاملCoupled rate equation modeling of self-assembled quantum dot photoluminescence
We have investigated the quantum dot (QD) carrier capture mechanism using continuous wave photoluminescence as a function of the optical excitation intensity using a sample with a QD density gradient across its surface ranging from 0 to 1.8 £ 10 cm. Modelling of the carrier kinetics has been described by a set of three coupled rate equations associated with the carrier population in the GaAs ba...
متن کاملMultiexciton Spectroscopy of a Single Self-Assembled Quantum Dot
We apply low temperature confocal optical microscopy to spatially resolve, and spectroscopically study, a single self-assembled quantum dot. By comparing the emission spectra obtained at various excitation levels to a theoretical many body model, we show that (a) single exciton radiative recombination is very weak, and (b) sharp spectral lines are due to optical transitions between confined mul...
متن کاملThermodynamic and kinetic mechanisms in self-assembled quantum dot formation
Heteroepitaxial growth of highly strained structures offers the possibility to fabricate islands with very narrow size distribution, coined self-assembling quantum dots (SAQD). In spite of the high experimental interest, the mechanism of SAQD formation is not well understood. We will show that equilibrium theories can successfully predict the island sizes and densities, the nature and the magni...
متن کاملSelf-assembled nanoscale biosensors based on quantum dot FRET donors.
The potential of luminescent semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) to enable development of hybrid inorganic-bioreceptor sensing materials has remained largely unrealized. We report the design, formation and testing of QD-protein assemblies that function as chemical sensors. In these assemblies, multiple copies of Escherichia coli maltose-binding protein (MBP) coordinate to each QD by a C-terminal o...
