Material transport in self-assembled InAs/GaAs quantum dot ensemble

Introducing the growth interruption between the InAs deposition and subsequent GaAs growth in self-assembled quantum dot (QD) structures, the material transport process in the InAs layers has been investigated by photoluminescence and transmission electron microscopy measurement. InAs material in structures without misfit dislocations transfers from the wetting layer to QDs corresponding to the red-shift of PL peak energy due to interruption. On the other hand, the PL peak shifts to higher energy in the structures with dislocations. In this case, the misfit dislocations would capture the InAs material from the surrounding wetting layer and coherent islands leading to the reduction of the size of these QDs. The variations in the PL intensity and Linewidth are also discussed.
