The As flux effect on InAs quantum dots formed by gas source molecular beam epitaxy on InP substrates, oriented following the (311)B crystallographic direction has been studied. Atomic force microscopy images show that the quantum dot (QD) density dramatically increases and quantum dot sizes decrease, when decreasing the As pressure. Moreover, the size dispersion is narrowed. Photoluminescence measurements on the high QD density samples is shifted to higher energy, toward the telecommunication important 1.55 µm emission.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
