摘要
We studied the photoluminescence spectra of rapid-thermal-annealed self-assembled InAs quantum dots at 10 K. For annealing temperatures ranging from 700 to 950 degrees C, we observed a blueshift in the interband transition energies, a decrease in the intersublevel spacing energies, and a narrowing of photoluminescence linewidths. In this letter, we demonstrate that the tuning of the InAs quantum dots interband transition and intersublevel spacing energies can be achieved by 30 s of rapid thermal annealing. The relation between interband transition energy changes and the intersublevel spacing energies is found to be linear, with a slope close to the ratio of the dots' height to their diameter.
