摘要
In this paper we report optical properties of InAs quantum dots (QD) grown by molecular-beam epitaxy on GaAs (211)A, (n11)A/B, where n is 1, 5 and 7, and on reference (001) substrates. The photoluminescence (PL) spectra reveal differences in amplitude, integral luminescence, peak position and shape. Temperature dependence indicates an additional lateral confinement on (001), (n11)B, (211)A and (111)A substrates. Our results also show an enhancement of QD onset thermal quenching energy by a factor of similar to 3 for these orientations, when compared with the reference quantum well. PL polarization measurements show strong in-plane dependence caused by the quantum dot's structural anisotropy. However, the structure grown on (5 1 1)A and (711)A surfaces does not exhibit QD formation.
