摘要：

A combined experimental and theoretical study of InGaAs/GaAs quantum dots (QDs) emitting at 1.3 mu m under the influence of a strain-reducing InGaAs quantum well is presented. We demonstrate a red shift of 20-40 nm observed in photoluminescence spectra due to the quantum well. The InGaAs/GaAs QDs grown by metal organic vapor phase epitaxy show a bimodal height distribution (1 nm and 5 nm) and indium concentrations up to 90%. The emission properties are explained with combined tight-binding and configuration-interaction calculations of the emission wavelengths in conjunction with high-resolution scanning transmission electron microscopy investigations of QD geometry and indium concentrations in the QDs, which directly enter the calculations. QD geometries and concentration gradients representative for the ensemble are identified. (C) 2014 AIP Publishing LLC.
