✦ Synopsis


In this work we report the effects of the growth interruption on the optical and microscopic properties of InAs/GaAs self-assembled quantum dots grown by molecular beam epitaxy on ( 100) and (311)B oriented GaAs substrates. The growth interruption applied after the deposition of the InAs layer strongly affects the optical and microscopic properties of the dots, thus providing evidence of strong nonequilibrium effects on dot self-assembly. These effects are enhanced for dots grown on high-index planes and can be used to tune the emission energy and to improve the luminescence intensity of the dots.

In this work we have studied the optical properties of InAs quantum dots (QDs) grown by molecular-beam epitaxy on GaAs (211)A, on (n11)A/B (where n is 1, 5 and 7), and on reference (100) substrates. Investigation of orientation and polarity effects by means of photoluminescence (PL) are also present
