Abstract

Coherent In0.25Ga0.75As quantum dots (QDs) are realized on GaP(001) substrates by metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy in the Stranski-Krastanow mode utilizing a thin GaAs interlayer prior to In0.25Ga0.75As deposition. Luminescence is observed between 2.0 eV and 1.83 eV, depending on the thickness of the In0.25Ga0.75As layer. The critical thickness for the two-dimensional to three-dimensional transition of the layer is determined to 0.75 to 1.0 monolayers. A mean activation energy of 489 meV for holes captured by In0.25Ga0.75As quantum dots is measured by deep-level transient spectroscopy, yielding a hole storage time of 3 µs at room temperature.
