مستخلص: Quantum dots (QDs) formed on GaAs(100) substrates by InAs deposition followed by (Al,Ga)As or (In,Ga,Al)As overgrowth demonstrate a photoluminescence (PL) peak that is redshifted (up to 1.3 μm) compared to PL emission of GaAs-covered QDs. The result is attributed to redistribution of InAs molecules in the system in favor of the QDs, stimulated by Al atoms in the cap layer. The deposition of a 1 nm thick AlAs cover layer on top of the InAs-GaAs QDs results in replacement of InAs molecules of the wetting layer by AlAs molecules, leading to a significant increase in the heights of the InAs QDs, as follows from transmission electron microscopy. This effect is directly confirmed by transmission electron microscopy indicating a transition to a Volmer-Weber-like QD arrangement. We demonstrate an injection laser based on this kind of QDs. © 2000 American Institute of Physics. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
