Optical investigations of the dynamic behavior of GaSb/GaAs quantum dots

چکیده
Time-resolved radiative recombination measurements on GaSb quantum dots have been performed. The GaSb quantum dots are grown by molecular beam epitaxy on ~100! GaAs through a self-assembly process. Time-resolved measurements show that, after a rapid hole capture process, the photoluminescence decays with a fast and a slow component. The fast component is shortened significantly with higher excitation intensity while the slow component is roughly constant. The radiative lifetimes are much longer than the lifetimes of ordinary GaSb quantum wells with a straddling band lineup. These results support a staggered band lineup and space charge induced band-bending model. © 1996 American Institute of Physics. @S0003-6951~96!04611-4#

Self-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 کاملFormation and optical characteristics of strain-relieved and densely stacked GaSb/GaAs quantum dots
The authors report the formation and optical characteristics of type-II, strain-relieved, and densely stacked GaSb/GaAs quantum dots QDs using an interfacial misfit IMF growth mode. A moderate V/III ratio during the growth of GaSb QDs produces strain-relieved QDs facilitated by the IMF array without Sb segregation associated with defects and threading dislocations. In contrast, a low V/III rati...
متن کاملDeep 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 کاملGaSb/GaAs quantum dot formation and demolition studied with cross-sectional scanning tunneling microscopy
We present a cross-sectional scanning tunneling microscopy study of GaSb/GaAs quantum dots grown by molecular beam epitaxy. Various nanostructures are observed as a function of the growth parameters. During growth, relaxation of the high local strain fields of the nanostructures plays an important role in their formation. Pyramidal dots with a high Sb content are often accompanied by threading ...
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...
