AbstractIn this paper, we showed the significant reduction of the energy spacing between ground state and excited state emissions from InAs/GaAs quantum dots due to interface interdiffusion induced by thermal treatment. In addition, the strong narrowing of the luminescence linewidth of the ground state and excited state emissions from the InAs dot layers for the annealed samples indicates an improvement of the size-distribution of the QDs. Large blue-shift of the energy positions of both emissions was also observed. High resolution X-Ray diffraction experiments give strong evidence of the interface atom interdiffusion in the annealed samples. This work shows ability to tune the wavelength for applications like infrared detectors and lasers based on intrasubband transitions of self-assembled QDs.

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.

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.

AbstractSelf-organized Ge-dots on (001)-oriented Si-substrates have been studied using two-dimensionally resolved high resolution x-ray diffraction and reflectivity. The degree of the vertical correlation of the dot positions ("stacking") has been derived as well as a lateral ordering of the dots in a (disordered) square array with main axes parallel to ]100] and ]010].
