Carrier relaxation dynamics in InP quantum dots studied by artificial control of nonradiative losses

Abstract: A method to study carrier relaxation dynamics based on the artificial control of nonradiative losses by an external electric field is proposed. Clear evidence of phonon-assisted relaxation as the main relaxation mechanism of hot electron-hole pairs in InP self-assembled quantum dots is found by applying the proposed method. Efficient one-step relaxation processes with emission of acoustic and optical phonons are observed. These findings give important insights into the interaction of the electron-hole pairs in… Show more

“…The phonon structures arise as a result of competition between nonradiative tunneling of holes at the photoexcited excited state and the phonon-mediated relaxation from the quasiresonantly excited states in InP quantum dots. [11][12][13] The PL polarization was measured at 1.722 eV indicated in Fig. 1͑a͒.…”

“…It is comparable with the phonon-mediated energy relaxation time of electron-hole pairs, 37 ps for an excitation-detection energy difference of ⌬E = 50 meV, in InP quantum dots studied by us. [40][41][42] In an electron-doped QD, the circular polarization of PL can change its sign only when the spin of a hole is flipped. The negative A 2 observed for the excitation photon energy of 1.771 eV shows that the spin of a hole is flipped.…”
