✦ Synopsis
Selectively-doped heterostructures based on both GaAs and InP containing several atomic layers coverage of InAs as both strained 2D and partially relaxed 3D (quantum dot) have been grown by gas source molecular beam epitaxy and the transport properties have been investigated.
We show that while coherently strained InAs in 2D layers results in increased electron mobilities, the formation of 3D quantum dots appear to trap electrons and decrease significantly the mobility of those remaining. The degree of trapping is dependent on the size and density of the dots.

In an adiabatic approach, the efficiency of the electron-phonon interaction (EPI) can be determined by measuring the ratio between the intensities of two of the phonon replicas that EPI induces in photoluminescence (PL) spectra. In low-dimensional structures such as InAs/GaAs quantum dots (QDs), thi
To investigate the strain characteristics of InAs quantum dots grown on (001) GaAs by solid source molecular beam epitaxy we have compared calculated transition energies with those obtained from photoluminescence measurements. Atomic force microscopy shows the typical lateral size of the quantum dot
