Combined vertically correlated InAs and GaAsSb quantum dots separated by triangular GaAsSb barrier

The aim of this work is to offer new possibilities for quantum dot (QD) band structure engineering, which can be used for the design of QD structures for optoelectronic and single photon applications. Two types of QDs, InAs and GaAsSb, are combined in self assembled vertically correlated QD structures. The first QD layer is formed by InAs QDs and the second by vertically correlated GaAsSb QDs. Combined QD layers are separated by a triangular GaAsSb barrier. The structure can be prepared as type-I, with both electrons and holes confined in InAs QDs, exhibiting a strong photoluminescence, or type-II, with electrons confined in InAs QDs and holes in GaAsSb QDs. The presence of the thin triangular GaAsSb barrier enables the realization of different quantum level alignment between correlated InAs and GaAsSb QDs, which can be adjusted by structure parameters as type-I or type-II like for ground and excited states separately. The position of holes in this type of structure is influenced by the presence of the tr...
