摘要
Type-II GaSb/GaAs coupled quantum rings have exhibited two-order-of-magnitude luminescence enhancement and ten-times elongation of recombination lifetime at room temperature as compared with regular rings. The longer lifetime suggests that a significant amount of electrons are confined in coupled rings rather than simply leaking away. These phenomena indicate that type-II nanostructures can be potentially utilized for room-temperature luminescence and carrier storage applications. (C) 2012 American Institute of Physics.
