摘要: Abstract We describe the growth and formation of self assembled PbTe quantum dots in a CdTe host on silicon (111) substrate. Annealing yields different photoluminescence spectra depending initial layer thickness, thickness cap annealing temperature. Generally two distinct emission peaks at ∼0.3 eV ∼0.45 eV are visible. Model calculations explaining their temperature dependence performed. The dot size corresponds well with estimated sizes from electron microscopy images. may be used as absorber within mid-infrared detector.
