ABSTRACTWe show that two major carrier excitation mechanisms are present in II-VI self-assembled quantum dots. The first one is related to direct excited state – ground state transition. It manifests itself by the presence of sharp and intense lines in the excitation spectrum measured from single quantum dots. Apart from these lines, we also observe up to four much broader excitation lines. The energy spacing between these lines indicates that they are associated with absorption related to longitudinal optical phonons. By analyzing resonantly excited photoluminescence spectra, we are able to separate the contributions from these two mechanisms. In the case of CdTe dots, the excited state – ground state relaxation is important for all dots in ensemble, while phonon-assisted processes are dominant for the dots with smaller lateral size.

ABSTRACTWe have demonstrated single dot spectroscopy of InAs/GaAs self-assembled quantum dots embedded in a bias controlled Schottky diode. The photoluminescence spectra exhibit discrete lines depending on bias, which we attribute to the recombination of positively charged, neutral, and negatively charged confined excitons. With excitation directly into the dot, large circular polarization memory is exhibited by the two charged exciton (trion) lines. This indicates long spin lifetimes for both the electron and the heavy hole in the quantum dots.

AbstractIn this paper, we showed the significant reduction of the energy spacing between ground state and excited state emissions from InAs/GaAs quantum dots due to interface interdiffusion induced by thermal treatment. In addition, the strong narrowing of the luminescence linewidth of the ground state and excited state emissions from the InAs dot layers for the annealed samples indicates an improvement of the size-distribution of the QDs. Large blue-shift of the energy positions of both emissions was also observed. High resolution X-Ray diffraction experiments give strong evidence of the interface atom interdiffusion in the annealed samples. This work shows ability to tune the wavelength for applications like infrared detectors and lasers based on intrasubband transitions of self-assembled QDs.
