Stark effect on the exciton complexes of individual quantum dots
نویسنده
چکیده
The emission spectrum of exciton complexes formed in individual self-assembled quantum dots (QDs) embedded into a p-n junction is theoretically studied using an effective mass model. We calculate the particle Coulomb interactions, eletronhole overlaps and transition energies of exciton complexes for the different strength and direction of electric field. Both redshifts and blueshifts are observed in exciton, trions and biexciton. The Stark effect may be applied to manipulate the spontaneous emission rate of individual QDs embedded in microcavities.

Coulomb-interaction driven anomaly in the Stark effect for an exciton in vertically coupled quantum dots
The effect of the electric field on an exciton confined in a pair of vertically coupled quantum dots is studied. We use a single-band approximation and a parabolic model potential. As a result of these idealizations, we obtain a numerically solvable model, which is used to describe the influence of the electron–hole interaction on the Stark effect for the lowestenergy photoluminescence lines. W...
متن کاملStark effect on the exciton spectra of vertically coupled quantum dots: Horizontal field orientation and nonaligned dots
We study the effect of an electric field on an electron-hole pair in an asymmetric system of vertically coupled self-assembled quantum dots taking into account their nonperfect alignment. We show that the nonperfect alignment does not qualitatively influence the exciton Stark effect for the electric field applied in the growth direction, but can be detected by application of a perpendicular ele...
متن کاملAnomalous Stark Shifts in Single Vertically Coupled Pairs of InGaAs Quantum Dots
Vertically coupled Stranski Krastanow QDs are predicted to exhibit strong tunnelling interactions that lead to the formation of hybridised states. We report the results of investigations into single pairs of coupled QDs in the presence of an electric field that is able to bring individual carrier levels into resonance and to investigate the Stark shift properties of the excitons present. Pronou...
متن کاملElectrical control of spontaneous emission and strong coupling for a single quantum dot
We report the design, fabrication and optical investigation of electrically tunable single quantum dots—photonic crystal defect nanocavities operating in both the weak and strong coupling regimes of the light–matter interaction. Unlike previous studies where the dot–cavity spectral detuning was varied by changing the lattice temperature, or by the adsorption of inert gases at low temperatures, ...
متن کاملFormation of the charged exciton complexes in self-assembled InAs single quantum dots
We have studied the low-temperature photoluminescence ~PL! of the self-assembled InAs single quantum dots ~QDs! using conventional micro-PL setup to detect PL from an individual QD. It is demonstrated, that at certain experimental conditions, what concerns the laser excitation energy, the laser power and the crystal temperature, several additional lines, redshifted relative to the ground state ...
