Magneto-optical study of electron occupation and hole wave functions in stacked self-assembled InP quantum dots

چکیده
We have studied the magnetophotoluminescence of doubly stacked layers of self-assembled InP quantum dots in a GaInP matrix. 4.060.1 monolayers of InP were deposited in the lower layer of each sample, whereas in the upper layer 3.9, 3.4, and 3.0 monolayers were used. Low-temperature photoluminescence measurements in zero magnetic field are used to show that, in each case, only one layer of dots is occupied by an electron, and imply that when the amount of InP in both layers is the same, the dots in the upper layer are larger. High-field photoluminescence data reveal that the position and extent of the hole wave function are strongly dependent on the amount of InP in the stack. © 2001 American Institute of Physics. @DOI: 10.1063/1.1383807#

Electron and hole confinement in stacked self-assembled InP quantum dots
We report photoluminescence measurements on stacked self-assembled InP quantum dots in magnetic fields up to 50 T. For triply stacked layers the dots become strongly coupled when the layer separation is 4 nm or less. In contrast, doubly stacked layers show no sign of coupling. We explain this puzzling difference in coupling by proposing a model in which the holes are weakly confined in the GaxI...

Today, electron leakage in InP-based separate confinement laser diode has a serious effect on device performance. Control of electron leakage current is the aim of many studies in semiconductor laser industry. In this study, for the first time, a new asymmetric waveguide structure with n-interlayer for a 1.325 μm InP-based laser diode with InGaAsP multi-quantum well is proposed and theoreticall...
متن کاملVertical coupling effects and transition energies in multilayer InAs/GaAs quantum dots
We investigate the transition energy of vertically stacked semiconductor quantum dots with a complete threedimensional (3D) model in an external magnetic field. In this study, the model formulation includes: (1) the positiondependent effective mass Hamiltonian in non-parabolic approximation for electrons, (2) the position-dependent effective mass Hamiltonian in parabolic approximation for holes...
متن کاملSimulation evidence for lateral excitation transfer in a self-assembled quantum-dot array
Simulations of InAlAs/AlGaAs self-assembled quantum-dot arrays containing as many as 30 individual dots are used to identify a mechanism for lateral excitation transfer through partially delocalized heavy-hole states. Individual hole states exhibit wave-function splitting between several dots in the array, as well as partial confinement in the wetting layer, and have strong overlap with multipl...
متن کاملMagnetophotoluminescence of stacked self-assembled InP quantum dots
We report magnetophotoluminescence measurements of stacked layers of self-assembled InP quantum dots. With a magnetic field applied in the growth direction we have determined the exciton reduced mass from the field dependence of the photoluminescence energy. By applying a magnetic field perpendicular to the growth direction, we have analyzed the spatial confinement of the dots in the growth dir...
