Optically induced charging effects in self-assembled GaSb/GaAs quantum dots

چکیده
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 laser powers. Applying a magnetic field at lasers powers !1 W cm−2 red shifts the PL energy. We explain these effects by population or depopulation of dots that are filled in the dark with holes supplied by carbon acceptors.

Deep 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 کاملSelf-assembled InSb and GaSb quantum dots on GaAs(001)
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 coherentl...
متن کاملEnhancement 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 کاملDecoherence and fluctuation dynamics of the quantum dot nuclear spin bath probed by nuclear magnetic resonance
Dynamics of nuclear spin decoherence and nuclear spin flip-flops in self-assembled InGaAs/GaAs quantum dots are studied experimentally using optically detected nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). Nuclear spin-echo decay times are found to be in the range 1-4 ms. This is a factor of ~3 longer than in strain-free GaAs/AlGaAs structures and is shown to result from strain-induced quadrupolar effects ...
متن کاملElectron localization by self-assembled GaSbÕGaAs quantum dots
We have studied the photoluminescence from type-II GaSb/GaAs self-assembled quantum dots in magnetic fields up to 50 T. Our results show that at low laser power, electrons are more weakly bound to the dots than to the wetting layer, but that at high laser power, the situation is reversed. We attribute this effect to an enhanced Coulomb interaction between a single electron and dots that are mul...
