The research on InAs/InP quantum dots (QDs) using time-integrated (PL) and time-resolved photoluminescence (TRPL) experiments reveals carrier confinement and losses among QDs, as well as different emission modes due to size distribution. TRPL experiment highlights the role of carrier reservoir in QDs capture process and the influence of different confinement regimes on PL decay time.
The InAs/InP quantum dots (QDs) are investigated by time-integrated (PL) and time-resolved photoluminescence (TRPL) experiments. The QDs are fabricated site-selectively by droplet epitaxy technique using block copolymer lithography. The estimated QDs surface density is similar to 1.5 x 10(10) cm(-2). The PL emission at T=300 K is centered at 1.5 mu m. Below T=250 K, the PL spectrum shows a fine structure consisting of emission modes attributed to the multimodal QDs size distribution. Temperature-dependent PL reveals negligible carrier transfer among QDs, suggesting good carrier confinement confirmed by theoretical calculations and the TRPL experiment. The PL intensity quench and related energies imply the presence of carrier losses among InP barrier states before carrier capture by QD states. The TRPL experiment highlighted the role of the carrier reservoir in InP. The elongation of PL rise time with temperature imply inefficient carrier capture from the reservoir to QDs. The TRPL experiment at T=15 K reveals the existence of two PL decay components with strong dispersion across the emission spectrum. The decay times dispersion is attributed to different electron-hole confinement regimes for the studied QDs within their broad distribution affected by the size and chemical content inhomogeneities.
