Abstract

We study the photoluminescence (PL) properties of InAs/GaAs self-assembled quantum dots (QDs) by varying excitation power and temperature. Excitation power-dependent PL shows that there exists bimodal size distribution in the QD ensemble. Thermal carrier redistribution between the two branches of dots is observed and investigated in terms of the temperature dependence of their relative PL intensity. Based on a model in which carrier transfer between dots is facilitated by the wetting layer, the experimental results are well explained.
