AbstractWe investigate the growth of InAs quantum dots on patterned GaAs substrates. The GaAs substrate has been structured using holographic lithography. Quantum dot formation along the patterns has been observed as well as an increase in homogeneity of the quantum dots. Furthermore, the use of ion beams focused to nanometer diameters for substrate patterning has been studied and showed promising results. For the investigation of vertically aligned InAs quantum dots, cross-sectional atomic force microscopy has been successfully employed.

ABSTRACTSelf-organized InAs quantum dots (QDs) were grown in the Stranski-Krastanov regime, by gas-source molecular beam epitaxy (GSMBE), on (100) GaAs substrates. Two important parameters have been optimized in order to grow high quality QDs with a very good reproducibility: InAs growth rate and GaAs cap layer deposition rate. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) analysis shows a unimodal QD distribution and the room temperature photoluminescence (RTPL) spectrum of the optimized sample reveals a 1.3 μm emission with a 19 meV full width at half maximum (FWHM). Photoluminescence (PL) measurements versus excitation power density and photoluminescence excitation (PLE) measurements clearly show multi-component PL emission from transitions associated with fundamental and related excited states of QDs. Furthermore a good growth reproducibility is observed. The results are promising for further work which will lead to laser fabrication.

AbstractThe influence of Bi in GaAs barrier layers on the structural and optical properties of InAs/GaAs quantum-dot heterostructures is studied. By atomic-force microscopy and Raman spectroscopy, it is established that the introduction of Bi into GaAs to a content of up to 5 at % results in a decrease in the density of InAs quantum dots from 1.58 × 10^10 to 0.93 × 10^10 cm^–2. The effect is defined by a decrease in the mismatch between the crystal-lattice parameters at the InAs/GaAsBi heterointerface. In this case, an increase in the height of InAs quantum dots is detected. This increase is apparently due to intensification of the surface diffusion of In during growth at the GaAsBi surface. Analysis of the luminescence properties shows that the doping of GaAs potential barriers with Bi is accompanied by a red shift of the emission peak related to InAs quantum dots and by a decrease in the width of this peak.

ABSTRACTIn this work, we report optical and structural properties of vertical aligned self-assembled InAs quantum dots multilayers. The InAs quantum dots samples were grown by Molecular Beam Epitaxy. Employing Atomic Force Microscopy, Transmission Electron Microscopy, and Gracing Incident X-ray Diffraction we have studied the structural properties of samples with different number of periods of the multiplayer structure, as well as different InAs coverage. The optical properties were studied using Photoluminescence spectroscopy.
