摘要: We present a temperature- and bias-dependent photocurrent study of the excitonic interband transitions InAs self-assembled quantum dots (QD's). It was found that carrier escape process from QD's is dominated by hole processes. The main path for this to be thermal-assisted tunneling, dot level GaAs barrier via wetting layer as an intermediate state. Energy-dependent tunneling observed at low temperatures. Energy shifts due size-selective effect quantum-confined Stark are discussed compared with redistribution in photoluminescence measurements.
