Excitonic structure and pumping power dependent emission blue-shift of type-II quantum dots

چکیده
In this work we study theoretically and experimentally the multi-particle structure of the so-called type-II quantum dots with spatially separated electrons and holes. Our calculations based on customarily developed full configuration interaction ap- proach reveal that exciton complexes containing holes interacting with two or more electrons exhibit fairly large antibinding energies. This effect is found to be the hallmark of the type-II confinement. In addition, an approximate self-consistent solution of the multi-exciton problem allows us to explain two pronounced phenomena: the blue-shift of the emission with pumping and the large inhomogeneous spectral broadening, both of those eluding explanation so far. The results are confirmed by detailed intensity and polarization resolved photoluminescence measurements on a number of type-II samples.

Red to Blue Excitonic Emission with Ultra-Thin Quantum Wells and Fractional Monolayer Quantum Dots of II-VI Semiconductors
Ultra-thin quantum wells of CdTe and CdSe and fractional monolayer quantum dots of CdSe present very strong excitonic emission covering the red-blue spectral range. They are grown by atomic layer epitaxy and the thickness fluctuations can be completely avoided in many cases by choosing the appropriate substrate temperature. These systems appear as promising candidates for the elaboration of red...
متن کاملGain optimization of the optical waveguide based on the quantum box core/shell structure
In order to implement an integrated optical quantum circuit, designing waveguides based on the quantum box is of prime importance. To do this we have investigated optical waveguide both with and without optical pumping. The rate of absorption and emission using an array of AlGaAs/GaAs quantum box core/shell structure in the optical waveguide with various pumping intensities has computed. By con...

متن کاملPhotoluminescence and magneto-optical properties of multilayered type-II ZnTe/ZnSe quantum dots
Multilayered Zn–Se–Te structures grown by migration enhanced epitaxy are studied by temperatureand excitation-dependent photoluminescence (PL) as well as magneto-PL. The PL consists of two bands: a blue band, overlaid with band edge sharp lines, dominant at low temperatures and high excitation, and a green band, which appears at elevated temperature and low excitation. Upon varying excitation i...
