Self-assembled InSb and GaSb quantum dots on GaAs(001)
نویسندگان
چکیده
Quantum dots of InSb and GaSb were grown on GaAs~001! by molecular-beam epitaxy. In situ scanning tunneling microscopy measurements taken after 1–2 monolayers of InSb or GaSb growth reveal the surface is a network of anisotropic ribbon-like platelets. These platelets are a precursor to quantum dot growth. Transmission electron microscopy measurements indicate that the quantum dots are coherently strained. Quantum dots of InSb and GaSb capped by GaAs exhibit strong luminescence near 1.1 eV.

Enhancement of the room temperature luminescence of InAs quantum dots by GaSb capping
The authors have studied the use of antimony for the optimization of the InAs/GaAs 001 self-assembled quantum dot QD luminescence characteristics in the 1.3 m spectral region. The best results have been obtained by capping InAs QDs with 2 ML of GaSb grown on top of a 3 ML GaAs barrier separating the InAs and the GaSb layers. This results in an order of magnitude enhancement of the room temperat...
متن کاملDeep level transient capacitance measurements of GaSb self-assembled quantum dots
Deep level transient spectroscopy ~DLTS! measurements have been made on GaAs np diodes containing GaSb self-assembled quantum dots and control junctions without dots. The self-assembled dots were formed by molecular beam epitaxy using the Stranski–Krastanov growth mode. The dots are located in the depletion region on the p side of the junction where they act as a potential well that may capture...
متن کاملOptically induced charging effects in self-assembled GaSb/GaAs quantum dots
We report photoluminescence (PL) measurements on self-assembled GaSb/GaAs quantum dots. As the laser excitation is increased from very low levels, the PL shows a strong red shift, and then a blue shift, such that it presents a U-shaped curve. Raising the temperature causes a large s,100 meVd blue shift of the PL, and shifts the minimum of the PL energy versus laser excitation curve to higher la...
متن کاملInSb quantum dots for the mid-infrared spectral range grown on GaAs substrates using metamorphic InAs buffer layers
Type II InSb/InAs quantum dots (QDs) were successfully grown on GaAs substrates using three different metamorphic buffer layer (MBL) designs. The structural properties of the resulting metamorphic InAs buffer layers were studied and compared using cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy and high resolution x-ray diffraction measurements. Photoluminescence (PL) originating from the InSb...
متن کاملThe formation of high number density InSb quantum dots, resulting from direct InSb/GaSb (001) heteroepitaxy
We report the direct deposition of indium antimonide, by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) on gallium antimonide, resulting in the formation of quantum dots (QDs) with a maximum density of 5.3 10 cm . Using reflection high energy electron diffraction (RHEED) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) for the analysis of samples with InSb depositions of 1–6 ML equivalent thickness, we observe an apparent valu...
