Multi-peak structures in photoluminescence spectra of InAs/GaAs quantum dots are investigated. Excitation power-dependent photoluminescence spectra are used to identify the nature of different peaks. By combining experimental results and an energy-level structure analysis,origins of the multi-peaks are identified. Furthermore,inter-subband spacing of electrons and holes are deduced.
The heterostructure of InAs/In0.52Al0.48As/InP is unique in that InAs wires instead of dots self-assemble in molecular beam epitaxy. These InAs wires have some distinctive features in their growth and structure. This paper summarizes the investigations of the growth and structural properties of InAs wires that have been performed in our laboratory recently.
