摘要: Abstract We have found in the nanoprobe-photoluminescnece (PL) measurement that PL from InGaAs quantum dots was enhanced remarkably by small elastic indentation of nanoprobe onto sample surface. In order to clarify mechanism enhancement, nanoprobe-induced strain distribution and energy-band profiles bulk GaAs been calculated on bases linear continuum theory six-band Hamiltonian. It nm-scale modulation results confinement potential for light holes 50– 70 nm beneath nanoprobe, revealing hole accumulation into minimum causes enhancement.
