چکیده
Multilayer In0.4Ga0.6As/GaAs quantum dot (QD) chain samples are investigated by means of cw and time-resolved photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy in order to study the peculiarities of interdot coupling in such nanostructures. The temperature dependence of the PL has revealed details of the confinement. Non-thermal carrier distribution through in-chain, interdot wave function coupling is found. The peculiar dependences of the PL decay time on the excitation and detection energies are ascribed to the electronic interdot coupling and the long-range coupling through the radiation field. It is shown that the dependence of the PL decay time on the excitation wavelength is a result of the superradiance effect.

متن کاملEnergy Levels of InGaAs/GaAs Quantum Dot Lasers with Different Sizes
In this paper, we have studied the strain, band-edge, and energy levels of cubic InGaAs quantum dots (QDs) surrounded by GaAs. It is shown that overall strain value is larger in InGaAs-GaAs interfaces, as well as in smaller QDs. Also, it is proved that conduction and valence band-edges and electron-hole levels are size dependent; larger QD sizes appeared to result in the lower recombination...
متن کاملFormation of Lateral Low Density In(Ga)As Quantum Dot Pairs in GaAs Nanoholes
In this work we present a growth procedure to form lateral In(Ga)As quantum dot pairs by using a low density, 2 × 108 cm-2, GaAs nanohole template previously formed in situ by droplet homoepitaxy. In particular, by changing the arsenic pressure at which InAs is grown on the template, we demonstrate the possibility to select the formation of single quantum dots (QD) or QD pairs inside each of th...
متن کاملState filling dependent luminescence in hybrid tunnel coupled dot-well structures.
A strong dependence of quantum dot (QD)-quantum well (QW) tunnel coupling on the energy band alignment is established in hybrid InAs/GaAs-In(x)Ga(1-x)As/GaAs dot-well structures by changing the QW composition to shift the QW energy through the QD wetting layer (WL) energy. Due to this coupling a rapid carrier transfer from the QW to the QD excited states takes place. As a result, the QW photolu...
متن کاملThe effect of first order magnetic field in a GaAs/AlAs spherical quantum dot with hydrogenic impurity
In this research, the effect of the first order magnetic field on the ground-state of a centered hydrogenic donor impurity in a GaAs/AlAs spherical quantum dot has been calculated. The perturbation method has been used within the framework of effective mass approximation for these calculations. Overall, the analysis shows that a proper choice of quantum dot radius and magnetic field can signifi...
