Abstract

We have evaluated the photoluminescence (PL) properties of quantum dots (QDs) embedded in a p-n junction on GaAs(311)B and were compared with the identical structure grown on GaAs(001). The QDs on these two surfaces were fabricated with a similar size and density by optimizing the growth conditions. The PL emission from the QDs grown on GaAs(001) rapidly disappeared when the excitation power was decreased below 0.4W/cm2, while that from on GaAs(311)B was clearly observable even at a lower excitation power of 0.1W/cm2. From the measurements of PL intensity dependence on temperature and applied electric field, it was found that there are clear differences between the QDs grown on (001) and the QDs grown on (311)B in the recombination rates through non-radiative processes and/or the escape rates of carriers out of QDs to the GaAs host through a tunneling process.
