摘要
Photoexcited carrier dynamics have been examined by time-resolved photoluminescence in InGaAs/GaAs quantum dot structures with dot density ranging from 3.7 x 10(8) to 2.4 x 10(10) cm(-2). The time of carrier transfer into a dot decreases with increasing dot density as well as with photoexcited carrier density and temperature. It is suggested that potential barriers at the barrier, wetting layer and quantum dot interfaces hinder the carrier capture in low-density quantum dot structures. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V.
