Cr-Doped InAs Self-Organized Diluted Magnetic Quantum Dots with Room-Temperature Ferromagnetism

Cr-doped InAs self-organized diluted magnetic quantum dots （QDs） are grown by low-temperature molecularbeam epitaxy. Magnetic measurements reveal that the Curie temperature of all the InAs：Cr QDs layers with Cr/In flux ratio changing from 0.026 to 0.18 is beyond 400 K. High-resolution cross sectional transmission electron microscopy images indicate that InAs：Cr QDs are of the zincblende structure. Possible origins responsible for the high Curie temperature are discussed.     

Broadening of Photoluminescence by Nonhomogeneous Size Distribution of Self-Assembled InAs Quantum Dots

The photoluminescence spectrum （PL） of InAs quantum dots （QDs） at 80 K is studied by comparison between the theoretical calculation and experimental measurement. The Gaussian line shape is used to approximate the size distribution of QDs. Its mean volume and the standard full width at half maximum （FWHM） of the PL spectrum. size deviation are well correlated with the peak and The experimental PL spectrum is well reproduced by the theoretical model based on the effect mass approximation including the size distribution without any adjustable parameters. Compared with the standard size deviation value σ = 9 × 10^-2 determined by atomic force microscopic method a small value σ = 7 × 10^-2 is obtained by the best fitting process from the measured and calculated PL spectra.

Temperature-Dependent Photoluminescence Characteristics of InAs/GaAs Quantum Dots Directly Grown on Si Substrates

The first operation of an electrically pumped 1.3μm InAs/GaAs quantum-dot laser was previously reported epitaxially grown on Si(100) substrate.Here the direct epitaxial growth condition of 1.3-μm InAs/GaAs quantum on a Si substrate is further investigated using atomic force microscopy,etch pit density and temperature-dependent photoluminescence(PL) measurements.The PL for Si-based InAs/GaAs quantum dots appears to be very sensitive to the initial GaAs nucieation temperature and thickness with strongest room-temperature emission at 400℃(170nm nucieation layer thickness),due to the lower density of defects generated under this growth condition,and stronger carrier confinement within the quantum dots.     

Temperature Dependence of Photoluminescence from Single and Ensemble InAs/GaAs Quantum Dots

We investigate the temperature dependence of photoluminescence from single and ensemble InAs/GaAs quantum dots systematically. As temperature increases, the exciton emission peak for single quantum dot shows broadening and redshift. For ensemble quantum dots, however, the exciton emission peak shows narrowing and fast redshift. We use a simple steady-state rate equation model to simulate the experimental data of photoluminescence spectra. It is confirmed that carrier-phonon scattering gives the broadening of the exciton emission peak in single quantum dots while the effects of carrier thermal escape and retrapping play an important role in the narrowing and fast redshift of the exciton emission peak in ensemble quantum dots.     

Influence of Strain-Reducing Layer on Strain Distribution of Self-Organized InAs/GaAs Quantum Dot and Redshift of Photoluminescence Wavelength

A systematic investigation about the strain distributions around the InAs/GaAs quantum dots using the finite element method is presented. A special attention is paid to influence of an Ino.2 Gao.sAs strain reducing layer. The numerical results show that the horizontal- and vertical-strain components and the biaz~ial strain are reinforced in the InAs quantum dot due to the strain-reducing layer. However, the hydrostatic strain in the quantum dot is reduced. In the framework of eight-band k · p theory, we study the band edge modifications due to the presence of a strain reducing layer. The results demonstrate that the strain reducing layer yields the decreasing band gap, i.e., the redshift phenomenon is observed in experiments. Our calculated results show that degree of the redshift will increase with the increasing thickness of the strain-reducing layer. The calculated results can explain the experimental results in the literature, and further confirm that the long wavelength emission used for optical fibre communication is realizable by adjusting the dependent parameters. However, based on the calculated electronic and heavy-hole wave function distributions, we find that the intensity of photoluminescence will exhibits some variations with the increasing thickness of the strain-reducing layer.

InAs 单量子点精细结构光谱

在5 K下,采用光致发光光谱和时间分辨光谱研究了不同单量子点的精细结构和对应发光光谱的偏振性、单激子/双激子发光光谱和相应发光动力学。给出InAs单量子点发光光谱所对应能级的精细结构及激子本征态的偏振特性。当精细结构能级劈裂为零时, 激子的本征态为简并的圆偏振态。而当精细结构能级劈裂大于零时,一般在几十到几百μeV,激子的本征态为非简并的线偏振态。相对于单激子发光寿命,激子-激子间的散射使单激子的复合发光寿命减小。     

Single-Photon Emission from InAs/AlGaAs Quantum Dots

The results of investigation of the radiative characteristics of heterostructures with InAs/AlGaAs quantum dots (QDs) grown by molecular beam epitaxy have been presented.

GaAs-Based Metamorphic Long-Wavelength InAs Quantum Dots Grown by Molecular Beam Epitaxy

A bilayer stacked InAs/GaAs quantum dot structure grown by molecular beam epitaxy on an In0.05Ga0.95As metamorphic buffer is investigated. By introducing a InGaAs：Sb cover layer on the upper InAs quantum dots （QDs） layers, the emission wavelength of the QDs is extended successfully to 1.533 μm at room temperature, and the density of the QDs is in the range of 4× 10^9-8 ×10^9cm^-2. Strong photoluminescence （PL） intensity with a full width at half maximum of 28.6meV of the PL spectrum shows good optical quality of the bilayer QDs. The growth of bilayer QDs on metamorphic buffers offers a useful way to extend the wavelengths of GaAs-based materials for potential applications in optoeleetronic and quantum functional devices.
