ABSTRACTThe photoluminescence (PL) and photoluminescence temperature dependences have been studied in InAs quantum dots (QDs) embedded in the In0.15Ga1–0.15As/GaAs quantum wells (QWs) with QDs grown at different temperatures (470–535 °C). Ground state (GS) related QD PL peaks shift into the red side with increasing QD growth temperature to 510 °C and the blue shift is observed when the temperature increased to 535 °C. The temperature dependences of GS PL peak positions were fitted on the base of Varshni relation and the fitting parameters were compared with the bulk InAs and the In0.21Ga0.79As allow. This comparison has revealed that for QDs grown at 490–510 °C the PL fitting parameters are the same as for the bulk InAs crystal. The DWELL structures with QDs grown at other temperatures have fitting parameters different from the bulk InAs. Last fact testifies that in these structures the Ga/In inter-diffusion between QDs and a QW has been realized. This Ga/In intermixture can be stimulated not only by the high temperature (535 °C), but by the essential elastic stress as well in the DWELL structure with lower QD densities.

ABSTRACTThe photoluminescence (PL), its temperature dependence and X-ray diffraction (XRD) have been studied in MBE grown GaAs/AlGaAs/InGaAs/AlGaAs /GaAs quantum wells (QWs) with InAs quantum dots embedded in the center of InGaAs layer in the freshly prepared states and after the thermal treatments during 2 hours at 640 or 710 °C. The structures contained two buffer (Al0.3Ga0.7As/In0.15Ga0.85As) and two capping (In0.15Ga0.85As / Al0.3Ga0.7As) layers. The temperature dependences of PL peak positions have been analyzed in the temperature range 10-500K with the aim to investigate the QD composition and its variation at thermal annealing. The experimental parameters of the temperature variation of PL peak position in the InAs QDs have been compared with the known one for the bulk InAs crystals and the QD composition variation due to Ga/Al/In inter diffusion at thermal treatments has been detected. XRD have been studied with the aim to estimate the capping/buffer layer compositions in the different QW layers in freshly prepared state and after the thermal annealing. The obtained emission and XRD data and their dependences on the thermal treatment have been analyzed and discussed.

ABSTRACTBio-conjugated CdSe/ZnS core/shell quantum dots (QDs) attract essential scientific interest due to their possible nano-medicine applications, including selective highlighting of affected tissues and targeted drug delivery to the certain type of cells. The paper is focused on the theoretical description of the blue shift observed in the luminescence spectra of CdSe/ZnS QDs upon their bio-conjugation with the anti-interleukin-10 antibodies. We propose a model that describes the ground state of the exciton confined in a quantum dot and explaining the bio-conjugation phenomenon by the change of the effective confinement volume.

AbstractWe have designed and fabricated a quantum dot infrared photodetector which utilizes lateral transport of photoexcited carriers in the modulation-doped A1GaAs/GaAs two-dimensional (2D) channels. A broad photocurrent signal has been observed in the photon energy range of 100–300 meV due to bound-to-continuum intersubband absorption of normal incidence radiation in the self-assembled InAs quantum dots. A peak responsivity was as high as 2.3 A/W. The high responsivity is realized mainly by a high mobility and a long lifetime of photoexcited carriers in the modulation-doped 2D channels. Furthermore, we found that this device has high operation temperature and very high photoconductive gain.
