Abstract
Variable temperature photoluminescence (PL) measurements for In0.3Ga0.7As(6 nm)/GaAs(34 nm) quantum dot superlattices with a period of 20 and an In0.3Ga0.7As(6 nm)/GaAs(34 nm) reference single quantum well have been conducted. It is found that the temperature dependence is different between the quantum dots and the reference single quantum well. The PL peak energy of the single quantum well decreases faster than that of the quantum dots with increasing temperature. The PL peak energy for the InGaAs/GaAs quantum dots closely follows the InAs band gap in the temperature range from 11 to 170 K, while the PL peak energy for the InGaAs/GaAs quantum well closely follows the GaAs band gap. In comparison with InAs/GaAs quantum dots, the InGaAs/GaAs quantum dots are more typical as a zero-dimensional system since the unusual PL results, which appear in the former, are not obvious for the latter.
