Abstract
We report on calculations of relaxation in InAs/GaAs self assembled dots. W e point out that the intra-dot Auger relaxation is extremely fast in these structures. This suggests that energy relaxation in InAs/GaAs self organize d quantum dots is dominated by capture effects. (C) Academie des sciences/E lsevier, Paris.
