摘要: Photoluminescence (PL) from InAs self-assembled quantum dots (QD) embedded in the AlAs matrix was strong and clean around 700 nm. PL efficiency remained quite high at room temperature compared to other QD systems GaAs cladding layers. Transmission electron microscope pictures structure showed a clear formation of relatively small coherently strained QD. The observed blueshift with accompanying broadening spectra increase excitation power is interpreted terms local carrier tunneling dense system. peak redshift very large, as much 228 meV. anomalous shift due activation-energy differences between different sizes.
