Figure 6 Diagram explaining formation of strain-induced GaAs quantum dots <strong>by</strong>depositing InP stressor islands on the thin outer barrier of an AlGaAs/GaAs/AlGaAsQW. The InP stressor island produces a compressive strain field in the lattice-mismatchedQW that decreases the bandgap of the GaAs QW beneath the stressor island,producing a QD with well and barrier both made from GaAs.the band edge of the absorption, but red-shifted from the first excitonic peak<strong>by</strong> about 60 nm. The PL quantum yield at room temperature of the HFtreatedInP QDs is increased to about 30% compared to a few percent foruntreated QDs. Films of the QDs made <strong>by</strong> slowly evaporating the colloidalQD solution show a quantum yield of 60% at 10 K; also the PL linewidthdecreases from 161 meV at 300 K to 117 meV at 10 K. The quantum yield(QY) values are external quantum yields (photons emitted divided <strong>by</strong> incidentphotons).<strong>Copyright</strong> <strong>2004</strong> <strong>by</strong> <strong>Marcel</strong> <strong>Dekker</strong>, <strong>Inc</strong>. <strong>All</strong> <strong>Rights</strong> <strong>Reserved</strong>.
