Photoluminescence Study of Interdot Carrier Transfer on Strain-relaxed InAs Quantum Dots

Journal Article Chiang, Chen-Hao ; Chang, You-Cheng ; Hsieh, Meng-Chien ; ... - AIP Conference Proceedings

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.

Temperature dependent and time-resolved photoluminescence studies of InAs self-assembled quantum dots with InGaAs strain reducing layer structure

Journal Article Lingmin, Kong ; Zhechuan, Feng ; Zhengyun, Wu ; ... - Journal of Applied Physics

Four types of self-assembled InAs/GaAs quantum dots (QDs) were grown by molecular beam epitaxy and studied via temperature-dependent and time-resolved photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy measurements. A thin InGaAs stain reducing layer (SRL) is adopted which extends the emission wavelength to 1.3 mum and the influence of strain on QDs is investigated. The SRL releases the strain between the wetting layer and QDs, and enlarges the size of QDs, as shown by atomic force microscopy measurements. As the thickness of InAs layer decreases to 1.7 ML, the QDs with the SRL are chained to strings and the density of QDs increases significantly,more »« less

Effect of strain-compensation in stacked 1.3 {mu}m InAs/GaAs quantum dot active regions grown by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition

Journal Article Nuntawong, N ; Birudavolu, S ; Hains, C P ; ... - Applied Physics Letters

We have introduced tensile layers embedded in a GaAs matrix to compensate compressive strain in stacked 1.3 {mu}m InAs quantum dot (QD) active regions. The effects of the strain compensation are systematically investigated in five-stack and ten-stack QD structures where we have inserted In{sub x}Ga{sub 1-x}P (x=0.30 or 0.36) layers. High-resolution x-ray diffraction spectra quantify the overall strain in each sample and indicate >35% strain reduction can be accomplished. Both atomic force and transmission electron microscope images confirm that strain compensation improves material crystallinity and QD uniformity. With aggressive strain compensation, room temperature QD photoluminescence intensity is significantly increased demonstratingmore » a reduced defect density.« less

Strain engineering of quantum dots for long wavelength emission: Photoluminescence from self-assembled InAs quantum dots grown on GaAs(001) at wavelengths over 1.55 μm

Journal Article Shimomura, K., E-mail: sd12502@toyota-ti.ac.jp ; Kamiya, I., E-mail: kamiya@toyota-ti.ac.jp - Applied Physics Letters

Photoluminescence (PL) at wavelengths over 1.55 μm from self-assembled InAs quantum dots (QDs) grown on GaAs(001) is observed at room temperature (RT) and 4 K using a bilayer structure with thin cap. The PL peak has been known to redshift with decreasing cap layer thickness, although accompanying intensity decrease and peak broadening. With our strain-controlled bilayer structure, the PL intensity can be comparable to the ordinary QDs while realizing peak emission wavelength of 1.61 μm at 4 K and 1.73 μm at RT. The key issue lies in the control of strain not only in the QDs but also in the cap layer. By combiningmore »« less
