摘要: We investigate the photoluminescence (PL) properties of a hybrid type-I InAs/GaAs and type-II GaSb/GaAs quantum dot (QD) structure grown in GaAs matrix by molecular beam epitaxy. This QD exhibits more intense PL with broader spectral range, compared control samples that contain only InAs or GaSb QDs. enhanced performance is attributed to additional electron hole injection from QDs into adjacent confirm this mechanism using time-resolved power-dependent PL. These structures show potential for high efficiency solar cell applications.
