Abstract

We have performed magneto-capacitance–voltage spectroscopy for the valence band states of InAs quantum dots embedded in a p-type Schottky diode. By choosing the right measurement frequency and applying an in-plane magnetic field, we were able to map the k-space wave functions corresponding to the individual charging peaks. The wave functions belonging to the first two charging peaks show no nodes as expected for an s-like ground state. In contrast, nodes are observed for the next four charging peaks supporting the identification as excited states with finite orbital angular momentum. Peaks 3 and 4 show different wave functions compared to peaks 5 and 6, which points to different angular momenta for this two pairs of charging peaks.
