Photoluminescence (PL) properties of the strain relaxed InAs quantum dots (QDs) are studied as a function of temperature from 10 to 300 K. Two groups of QDs induced by strain relaxation are observed in the PL spectra. The PL peak position of the relaxed (non-relaxed) QDs locates at a higher (lower) energy. TEM image prove QDs are distributed into two groups and indicate the QDs relax the strain by diffusing indium to GaAs. In the 120-200 K temperature range, there are abnormal temperature behaviors attributed to the carrier transfer from the relaxed to non-relaxed QDs.
