Quantum dots of indium gallium arsenide buried in a thin layer of aluminum gallium arsenide were grown by means of molecular-beam epitaxy. The influence of silver nanoparticles grown on the surface of the semiconductor structure by vacuum thermal evaporation on photoluminescence of quantum dots was investigated. Photoluminescence spectra of quantum dots were obtained under stationary and pulsed excitation. The influence of silver nanoparticles exhibiting plasmon resonances on spectral distribution and kinetics of luminescence of the epitaxial quantum dots was studied.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
