The InAs/InP quantum dots (QDs) are investigated by time-integrated (PL) and time-resolved photoluminescence (TRPL) experiments. The QDs are fabricated site-selectively by droplet epitaxy technique using block copolymer lithography. The estimated QDs surface density is ∼1.5 × 1010 cm−2. The PL emission at T=300 K is centered at 1.5 μm. Below T=250 K, the PL spectrum shows a fine structure consisting of emission modes attributed to the multimodal QDs size distribution. Temperature-dependent PL reveals negligible carrier transfer among QDs, suggesting good carrier confinement confirmed by theoretical calculations and the TRPL experiment. The PL intensity quench and related energies imply the presence of carrier losses among InP barrier states before carrier capture by QD states. The TRPL experiment highlighted the role of the carrier reservoir in InP. The elongation of PL rise time with temperature imply inefficient carrier capture from the reservoir to QDs. The TRPL experiment at T=15 K reveals the existence of two PL decay components with strong dispersion across the emission spectrum. The decay times dispersion is attributed to different electron-hole confinement regimes for the studied QDs within their broad distribution affected by the size and chemical content inhomogeneities.

Abstract InAs quantum dots (QDs) are grown on an In0.53Ga0.47As interlayer and embedded in an InP(100) matrix. They are fabricated via droplet epitaxy (DE) in a Metal Organic Vapor Phase Epitaxy (MOVPE) reactor. Formation of metallic Indium droplets on the In0.53Ga0.47As lattice-matched layer and their crystallization into QDs is demonstrated for the first time in MOVPE. The presence of the In0.53Ga0.47As layer prevents the formation of an unintentional non-stoichiometric 2D layer underneath and around the QDs, via suppression of the As-P exchange. The In0.53Ga0.47As layer affects the surface diffusion leading to a modified droplet crystallization process, where unexpectedly the size of the resulting QDs is found to be inversely proportional to the Indium supply. Bright single dot emission is detected via micro-photoluminescence at low temperature, ranging from 1440 to 1600 nm, covering the technologically relevant telecom C-band. Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) investigations reveal buried quantum dots with truncated pyramid shape without defects or dislocations.

Ultrasoft X-ray emission spectra (USXES) and X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) spectra with the use of synchrotron radiation in the range of P L2,3-edges were obtained for the first time for nanostructures with InP quantum dots grown on GaAs 〈100〉 substrates by vapor-phase epitaxy from metal–organic compounds. These spectra represent local partial density of states in the valence and conduction bands. The additional XANES peak is detected; its intensity depends on the number of monolayers forming quantum dots. Assumptions are made on the band-to-band origin of luminescence spectra in the studied nanostructures.
