ABSTRACTThe structural and optical properties of InGaN quantum dots grown by plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) have been characterised using atomic force microscopy, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Z-contrast scanning TEM, micro-photoluminescence (PL), temperature dependent PL and time-resolved PL. The uncapped InGaN nano-islands have densities of ∼1.5 × 1011 cm−2, heights of (1.7 ± 1.0) nm and diameters of (10 ± 4) nm. These parameters are not substantially changed during overgrowth of a GaN cap and the resulting quantum dots have a composition of In0.15Ga0.85N. The observation of narrow luminescence peaks in micro-PL measurements proves light emission from discrete energy states and the optical properties indicate strong confinement of carriers in the quantum dots and an unusually weak impact of piezoelectric field effects.

InAs quantum dots (QDs) have been grown by solid-source molecular beam epitaxy on different InxGa1-xAs (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.3) to investigate the effect of In-mole-fraction and thickness of InGaAs insertion layer (IL) on the structural and optical properties of the QDs. The density of QDs directly grown on GaAs is 1×1010 cm-2, and increase to 1.4-1.8×1010 cm-2 on InGaAs layers which depend on the In-mole-fraction and thickness of InGaAs layers. The effects of In-mole-fraction and thickness of InGaAs insertion layer on optical properties of the QDs are studied by photoluminescence (PL). The FWHM of PL spectrum corresponds to the size distribution of the QDs.

GaSb quantum dots (QDs) have been grown by solid-source molecular beam epitaxy on a 4-monolayer (ML) InxGa1-xAs (x = 0.07, 0.15, 0.20, and 0.25) to investigate the effects of In-mole-fraction of InGaAs insertion layers on the structural and optical properties of the GaSb QDs. The density of grown GaSb QDs is approximately 1.2-2.8109 cm−2 on In-GaAs insertion layers which depends on the In-molefraction. Dot shape and size change substantially when In-mole-fraction of InGaAs insertion layers is varied. The uniformity of GaSb QDs improves when the indium content increases. The change in freestanding QD morphology is likely due to the modified strain at different values of indium compositions in InGaAs insertion layers. The effects of In-molefraction of InGaAs insertion layer on optical properties of the QDs are studied by photoluminescence (PL). PL results show the blueshift of the emission when the indium content in InGaAs insertion layer increases.
