The photoluminescence (PL) of In 0.55 Al 0.45 As/Al 0.5 Ga 0.5 As self-assembled quantum dots has been measured at 15 and 80 K under hydrostatic pressure. The lateral size of the dots ranges from 7 to 62 nm. The emissions from the dots with 26, 52 and 62 nm size have a blue shift under pressure, ind

β¦ Synopsis
We use time-resolved photoluminescence spectroscopy to probe the relaxation of excited states in In 0.5 Al 0.04 Ga 0.46 As/Al 0.08 Ga 0.92 As self-assembled quantum dots. The relaxation rate of excitons confined to the quantum dots increases by nearly an order of magnitude as the energy of the states approaches the top of the quantum dot potential. This dramatic change in the dynamics of these states reflects the increasing complexity of the states localized near the top of the quantum dots.

Photocurrent spectroscopy is used to investigate the quantum-confined Stark shift, QCSS, of In 0.5 Ga 0.5 As/GaAs self-assembled quantum dots (QDs) grown on (100) and (311)B planes. An asymmetric dependence of the QCSS with respect to the direction of the electric field is observed in both cases. We
