摘要
The effects of proton irradiation (1.5 MeV) on photoluminescence intensities and carrier dynamics were compared between InGaAs/GaAs quantum dots and similar quantum well structures. A significant enhancement in radiation tolerance is seen with three-dimensional quantum confinement. Measurements were carried out in different quantum dot structures varying in dot surface density (4x10(8)-3x10(10) cm(-2)) and substrate orientation [(100) and (311)B]. Similar trends were observed for all quantum dot samples. A slight increase in photoluminescence emission intensity after low to intermediate proton doses is observed in InGaAs/GaAs (100) quantum dot structures. The latter is explained in terms of more efficient carrier transfer from the wetting layer via radiation-induced defects.
