Carrier dynamics in InAs/AlAs quantum dots: lack in carrier transfer from wetting layer to quantum dots

Abstract: Structures with self-assembled InAs quantum dots (QDs) embedded in an AlAs matrix have been studied by steady-state and transient photoluminescence. It has been shown that in contrast to InAs/GaAs QD systems carriers are mainly captured by quantum dots directly from the AlAs matrix, while transfer of carriers captured by the wetting layer far away from QDs to the QDs is suppressed. At low temperatures the carriers captured by the wetting layer are localized by potential fluctuations at the wetting layer interf… Show more

“…Извест-но, что захват носителей заряда в островки может идти как через состояния лежащей в основании островков КЯ, так и прямо из матрицы. Для хорошо изученных структур с КТ In(Ga)As, сформированных в матрице GaAs, установлено, что носители заряда попадают в КТ в основном через состояния КЯ [35], в то же время для структур c КТ InAs/AlAs носители заряда попадают в КТ только непосредственно из матрицы, поскольку локализация носителей заряда на шероховатостях КЯ приводит к блокировке их транспорта по КЯ к КТ [36]. Флуктуации ширины и состава КЯ в гетероструктурах InSb/AlAs имеют заметно большую амплитуду, чем в КЯ InAs/AlAs, поэтому транспорт носителей заряда к ост-ровкам полностью блокируется.…”

“…The advantage of this system is the lattice constant matching between GaAs and AlAs that makes it possible to grow perfect heterostructures with InAs/AlAs QDs on widespread GaAs substrates. However, as it was shown in our recent works, the challenge is to produce effective light-emitting devices based on InAs/AlAs QDs due to an insufficient capture of charge carriers from the wetting layer (WL) to the QDs [5]. This is caused by the heterointerface roughness, which complicates the motion of charge carriers in the wetting layer.…”
