Abstract

We report on growth and characterization of individual InAsP/GaInP quantum dots with variable nominal As molar fraction. Magneto-photoluminescence experiments reveal QD emission in a wide range from 1.3 to 1.8 eV confirming incorporation of As into quantum dots. Transmission electron microscopy reveals a core-cap structure of InAsP quantum dots with an InAs-rich core capped by an InP-rich layer. Inside the core, an As molar fraction up to x=0.12 is observed. The heavy hole g-factor is found to be strongly dependent on As molar fraction, while the electron g-factor is close to the InP values. This suggests type-II carrier confinement in the studied InAsP dots with holes (electrons) localized in the core (cap) region. Finally, dynamic nuclear polarization is observed which allows for further insight into structural properties using nuclear magnetic resonance.
