Structural and optical properties of InAs/AlAsSb quantum dots with GaAs(Sb) cladding layers
نویسندگان
چکیده
We investigate the effect of GaAs1 xSbx cladding layer composition on the growth and properties of InAs self-assembled quantum dots surrounded by AlAs0.56Sb0.44 barriers. Lowering Sb-content in the GaAs1 xSbx improves the morphology of the InAs quantum dots and reduces cladding layer alloy fluctuations. The result is a dramatic increase in photoluminescence intensity from the InAs quantum dots, with a peak at 0.87 eV. The emission energy exhibits a cube root dependence on excitation power, consistent with the type-II band alignment of the quantum dots. The characteristics of this quantum dot system show promise for applications such as intermediate band solar cells. VC 2012 American Institute of Physics. [http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4729419]

We present a study on the effects of quantum dot coverage on the properties of InAs dots embedded in GaAs and in metamorphic In0.15Ga0.85As confining layers grown by molecular beam epitaxy on GaAs substrates. We show that redshifted emission wavelengths exceeding 1.3 μm at room temperature were obtained by the combined use of InGaAs confining layers and high quantum dot coverage. The use of hig...
متن کاملImpact of N on the atomic-scale Sb distribution in quaternary GaAsSbN-capped InAs quantum dots
The use of GaAsSbN capping layers on InAs/GaAs quantum dots (QDs) has recently been proposed for micro- and optoelectronic applications for their ability to independently tailor electron and hole confinement potentials. However, there is a lack of knowledge about the structural and compositional changes associated with the process of simultaneous Sb and N incorporation. In the present work, we ...
