AbstractPhotoreflectance measurements have been performed in the 0.8–1.5 eV photon energy range and at temperatures from 80 to 300 K on stacked layers of InAs/GaAs self-assembled quantum dots (QDs) grown by Atomic-Layer Molecular Beam Epitaxy. The spectral features due to the QD optical response were analyzed by using lineshape models characteristic of modulation spectroscopy of confined systems. The dependence of the ground state transition energy on the number of stacked QD layers is investigated and it is shown that Coulomb interaction can account for the observed different behavior of the ensemble optical response of QD families characterized by different morphologies and coexisting in the same sample.

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.

Ensembles of~600 AlyIn1−yAs/AlxGa1−xAs self-assembled quantum dots (QDs) are investigated using photoluminescence (PL) and time-resolved PL in the visible. At very low excitation intensities, the PL spectrum shows multiple ultranarrow luminescence lines (FWHM ~200 μeV), which are attributed to the ground-state transition of a few dots (4 or less). The temperature and intensity evolution of these sharp lines is then monitored. The temperature-dependent measurements show that the line width and lifetime of the narrow lines remain constant up to the onset of thermionic, emission. Intensity-dependent measurements show that for high excitation density the collective background, emitted by the ensemble of QDs, is enhanced relative to the amplitude of individual ultranarrow lines.

AbstractEnsembles of homogeneous self-assembled quantum dots (QDs) and nanoholes are fabricated using molecular beam epitaxy in combination with atomically precise in situ etching. Self-assembled InAs QDs with height fluctuations of ±5% were grown using a very low indium growth rate on GaAs (001) substrate. If these dots are capped with GaAs at low temperature, strong room temperature emission at 1.3 νm with a linewidth of 21 meV from the islands is observed. Subsequently, we fabricate homogeneous arrays of nanoholes by in situ etching the GaAs surface of the capped InAs QDs with AsBr3. The depths of the nanoholes can be tuned over a range of 1-6 nm depending on the nominal etching depth and the initial capping layer thickness. We appoint the formation of nanoholes to a pronounced selectivity of the AsBr3 to local strain fields. The holes can be filled with InAs again such that an atomically flat surface is recovered. QDs in the second layer preferentially form at those sites, where the holes were initially created. Growth conditions for the second InAs layer can be chosen in such a way that lateral QD molecules form on a flat surface.
