Abstract:
An experimental study of the photoconductivity time decay in InGaAs/GaAs quantum dot chain structures is reported. Different photoconductivity relaxations resulting from spectrally selecting photoexcitation of InGaAs QWR or QDs as well as GaAs spacers were measured. The photoconductivity relaxation after excitation of 650 nm follows a stretched exponent with decay constant dependent on morphology of InGaAs epitaxial layers. Kinetics with 980 nm excitation are successfully described by equation that takes into account the linear recombination involving Shockley-Read centers in the GaAs spacers and bimolecular recombination via quantum-size states of InGaAs QWRs or QDs.
