Interplay Effect of Excitation and Temperature on Carrier Transfer between Vertically Aligned InAs/GaAs Quantum Dot Pairs
نویسندگان
چکیده
Carrier transfer in vertically-coupled InAs/GaAs quantum dot (QD) pairs is investigated. Photoluminescence (PL) and PL excitation spectra measured at low temperature indicate that the PL peak intensity ratio between the emission from the two sets of QDs—i.e., the relative population of carriers between the two layers of QDs—changes with increasing excitation intensity. Temperature-dependent PL reveals unexpected non-monotonic variations in the peak wavelength and linewidth of the seed layer of QDs with temperature. The PL intensity ratio exhibits a “W” behavior with respect to the temperature due to the interplay between temperature and excitation intensity on the inter-layer carrier transfer.

Wavelength and polarization variations of InAs/GaAs quantum dots emission at liquid Helium temperature via microphotoluminescence spectroscopy
In this paper, we investigate variation of the wavelength, intensity and polarization of the self-assembled InAs/GaAs quantum dots emission by microphotoluminescence spectroscopy at the liquid helium temperature.

متن کاملEngineering vertically aligned InAs/GaAs quantum dot structures via anion exchange
P/As anion exchange is exploited to modify stacked InAs/GaAs quantum dot structures grown by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). It is shown that the vertical alignment and size uniformity can be remarkably improved via P/As anion exchange. This, therefore, demonstrates a promising approach to tuning the quantum dot morphologies and structures, and hence, the electronic and optoelectronic properties....
متن کاملInterdot carrier transfer in asymmetric bilayer InAs/GaAs quantum dot structures
Transient photoluminescence from a series of asymmetric InAs quantum-dot bilayers with a GaAs barrier layer thickness varying from 30 to 60 monolayers between the quantum-dot planes is investigated. The interdot carrier transfer process is analyzed. In the framework of a three-level system, interdot carrier transfer times between 200 and 2500 ps are derived and compared with similar data from t...
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...
