Conduction-band crossover induced by misfit strain inInSbGaSbself-assembled quantum dots

Abstract: We address the occurrence of conduction-band crossover in III-V self-assembled quantum dots solely due to misfit strain. Band structure analysis in terms of standard deformation-potential theory shows that ⌫-X crossover can occur in the dot, while both ⌫-X and ⌫-L crossovers are possible in the matrix at the interface. Crossover changes the nature of the fundamental band gap in the heterostructure, which may dramatically affect the optical properties. The implications of this are studied for a realistic InSb/ … Show more

“…The threading defect density thus needs to be mitigated through optimization of the buffer layer growth and structure, as demonstrated in the near-IR 63 , to improve the DL performance. Quantum dots however are not a straightforward option since the InSb/GaSb material system intrinsically gives rise to low-radiative efficiency QDs 115 , 116 . Laser designs based on the ICL concept could possibly be applied to other materials systems exhibiting comparable band-structure configurations, opening the way to shorter wavelength applications 38 .…”

“…This increases the direct band gap in type-I InSb dots beyond the 3 -5 m range as has been shown in previous band-structure modeling. [1][2][3] Hence, for use in MIR devices, alternative SAQD designs need to be considered.…”

“…Using the optimization procedure, we adjust the size of the QD to the luminescence wavelength λ3=2πcω3=5.24μm with μ12=3.63×1028C·m for 1S(e)1S(h) transition (see Figure 2). We obtain a=20nm for the InSb QD with the material parameters me=0.013m0, mh=0.42m0, εc=16.8 (εs=εd=1.753), Eg=0.17eV, normalΔs=0.43eV, [ 31–33 ] and χ3,0=9.42, χ1,0=π, χ2,1=7.72 for the selected transitions. A possible excitation of QDs can be realized by laser pumping at a telecom wavelength of λp=2πcωp=1.52μm with μ14=1.85×1028C·m for 1S(h)3S(e) transition.…”
