摘要
We investigated the optical properties of self-assembled InP/GaAs quantum dots using continuous-wave and time-resolved photoluminescence spectroscopy. The thermal activation energy, which is directly related to the exciton binding energy in this system, was obtained by photoluminescence measurements as a function of temperature. We obtained thermal activation energies of 6-9 meV for undoped quantum dots and 13 meV for the modulation-doped sample. Those values are in good agreement with calculated results. The dots presented a recombination time of similar to 0.8-1.1 ns, which is surprisingly small for a type-II system.
