摘要
We report the tunability of up to 150 meV of the ground state transition of self-assembled InAs quantum dots (QDs) using Mn ion implantation and subsequent annealing. Because of the exciton localization in the quantum dots, the photoluminescence efficiency (T = 12K) of the quantum dot transition remains at 80% of its original value after implantation with a Mn dose of 1 x 10(13) cm(-2) ions. Strong luminescence still remains at room temperature. At a high implantation dose (1 x 10(15) cm(-2)) and rapid thermal annealing (700 degrees C for 60s) about 25% of the QD luminescence intensity is recovered at T = 12K.
