Carrier dynamics in InAs quantum dots embedded in InGaAs/GaAs multi quantum well structures

Carrier relaxation dynamics in InAs/InP quantum dots

The electronic properties of InAs/InP(113)B double-cap quantum dots (QDs) emitting around 1.55 μm are investigated. The carrier dynamics in QDs is studied by non-resonant timeresolved photoluminescence (tr-PL) experiments. This analysis reveals the QD electronic structure and the transient filling of the confined QD levels. Under low excitation densities, the spontaneous exciton lifetime is est...

Ultrafast carrier dynamics in an InAs/InGaAs quantum dots-in-a-well heterostructure.

Ultrafast differential transmission spectroscopy is used to explore temperature-dependent carrier dynamics in an InAs/InGaAs quantum dots-in-a-well heterostructure. Electron-hole pairs are optically injected into the three dimensional GaAs barriers, after which we monitor carrier relaxation into the two dimensional InGaAs quantum wells and the zero dimensional InAs quantum dots by tuning the pr...

Conductance in quantum wires by three quantum dots arrays

A noninteracting quantum-dot arrays side coupled to a quantum wire is studied. Transport through the quantum wire is investigated by using a noninteracting Anderson tunneling Hamiltonian. The conductance at zero temperature develops an oscillating band with resonances and antiresonances due to constructive and destructive interference in the ballistic channel, respectively. Moreover, we have fo...

Ellipsoidal InAs Quantum Dots

Uses of semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) have been explored for attractive applications such as quantum information processing, lasers and solar cells to name a few. However, their ability to become integrated with existing technologies depends on shape, composition and size, all of which play a role in modifying both the optical and electrical properties of the QDs. However, an in-depth unders...
