摘要
We report on a theoretical study of the relationship between interdiffusion and the conduction band optical absorption of In(Ga)As/GaAs quantum dots. Quantum dot geometries are progressively interdiffused based on Fick's model and the quantum dot strain, band structure and optical absorption cross-section are calculated numerically. Quantifying the effects of interdiffusion on quantum dot optical absorption is important for applications that utilize post-growth techniques such as selective area intermixing.
