摘要
We study the dependence of energy and polarization properties of InxGa1-xAs/GaAs quantum dots (QDs), on the following parameters: growth interruption time (t(i)), growth temperature (T-G), QD layer thickness (L), material composition (x), and substrate orientation [(100) or (311)B]. In particular, we show that the emission energy can be tuned with t(i), for some particular growth conditions. There is also a clear dependence of the polarization on both x and the substrate orientation. However, no dependence on t(i),T-G or L was observed. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
