Излучательная рекомбинация в разъединенном гетеропереходе II типа InAs/InSb с квантовыми точками на интерфейсе

Abstract

The electroluminescent properties of narrow-gap type II InAs/InSb/InAs heterostructures containing a single layer of InSb quantum dots placed at the interface of the p-n junction in InAs were studied. The features of the electroluminescence spectra depending on the surface density of nanoobjects at a broken-gap type II heterointerface were investigated both at forward and reverse bias. When applying a reverse bias to the heterostructures under study, the suppression of negative interband luminescence and the dominance of interface recombination transitions at the InSb/InAs type II heterojunction were observed at room temperature. The radiation, which corresponded to recombination transitions involving localized states of InSb quantum dots, was recorded at low temperature.
