Abstract
We systematically study the influence of group V intermixing on the structural and optical properties of type II GaSb/GaAs quantum dots (QDs) capped by selected capping layers. Compared to GaSb QDs capped directly by a GaAs layer, we observe a strong enhancement of photoluminescence (PL) intensity and a significant red-shift of the photoluminescence peak energy to 1.35 μm at 300 K by the introduction of a GaAsSb capping layer. In addition, Z-contrast cross sectional transmission electron microscopy shows Sb segregation and group V mixing is greatly suppressed by GaAsSb or InGaAsSb capping layers. The new capping layers offers the possibility of controlling optical properties of type II GaSb/GaAs quantum dots and this opens up new means for achieving high efficient GaSb/GaAs quantum dot solar cell.
