Electron accumulation in small and larger semiconductor quantum dots
We present μ-PL and k·p calculations of self-assembled InP quantum dots (QDs) in GaInP. The QDs come in two subsets; the larger are pyramid shaped, and about 15 nm high with a base of about 40 by 50 nm, and the smaller have similar lateral extension but with a considerably lesser height. The change in size is accompanied by a change in quantum confinement and thus a change in emission energy. More
