Magnetic-field-induced reduction of the exciton polarization splitting in InAs quantum dots
نویسندگان
چکیده
By the application of an in-plane magnetic field, we demonstrate control of the fine structure polarisation splitting of the exciton emission lines in individual InAs quantum dots. The selection of quantum dots with certain barrier composition and confinement energies is found to determine the magnetic field dependent increase or decrease of the separation of the bright exciton emission lines, and has enabled the splitting to be tuned to zero within the resolution of our experiments. Observed behaviour allows us to determine g-factors and exchange splittings for different types of dots.

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. The microcavity wafer sample is grown by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) and chemically etched into the micropillar structure (with elliptical cross section - long and short axis 2µm×1.5µ...

متن کاملFine structure in the excitonic emission of InAs/GaAs quantum dot molecules
The exciton fine structure in self-assembled coupled quantum dots with barriers of varying widths is studied in detail. For narrow barriers we find doublet splittings of the molecule ground state exciton in magnetic field, while for wide barriers in some cases a multiplet of emission lines is observed. Pronounced anticrossings occur in the field dispersion of such a multiplet with details depen...

A theoretical study of the effects of applied magnetic fields and hydrostatic pressure on the electron-hole transition energies in selfassembled InAs/GaAs quantum dots is presented. The effective-mass approximation and a model of a cylindrical-shaped quantum dot with in-plane parabolic potential have been used to describe the InAs/GaAs quantum dots. Present theoretical results are in quite good...
