L. Davis et al., PHOTOLUMINESCENCE AND ELECTROOPTIC PROPERTIES OF SMALL (25-35 NM DIAMETER) QUANTUM BOXES, Applied physics letters, 62(22), 1993, pp. 2766-2768
The luminescence and electro-optic properties of buried 25-35 nm quant
um boxes have been measured. The quantum boxes were defined by a combi
nation of molecular beam epitaxial growth and regrowth, electron beam
lithography, and dry etching. The photoluminescence from 35 nm boxes s
hows a blue shift of approximately 15 meV compared to the bulk lumines
cence and an enhancement, taking into account the fill factor. An enha
nced effective linear electro-optic coefficient, r(l), is observed for
the quantum boxes.
