Abstract:

Self-assembled Sb-based quantum dots (QDs) were grown by metal-organic vapour phase epitaxy and assessed by means of atomic force microscopy, transmission electron microscopy and photoluminescence. Two series of InSb QDs in a GaSb matrix were grown at 490 +/- 10 degrees C and luminesced in the mid-infrared at about 1.7 mu m. Reductions in the III/V ratio and growth rate as used for the second series resulted in a change of the morphology of the InSb islands from hillocks without facets and a low level of order, to dumbbell shaped islands with distinct facets and a higher level of order. Self-assembled GaSb islands were grown on GaAs at 550 degrees C and assessed for comparison by means of AFM.

Abstract:

The influence of the interface states on the cyclotron resonance (CR) of the broken-gap two carrier InAs/GaSb DHET system has been investigated. Enhanced coupling between electron and hole levels is observed in the samples with a monolayer of InSb formed at one of the interfaces, leading to evidence of strong interband transitions close to that of the electron CR. This is believed to be the result of the asymmetry introduced into the structure. The results are consistent with the theoretical analysis from self-consistent k·p calculations.
