| Abstract: | Interdot carrier and spin dynamics were studied in a two-dimensional array of high-density small quantum dots (SQDs) of InGaAs with an average diameter of 16 nm and a sheet density of 1.2 x 10(11) cm(-2), in which 24 nm diametric large QDs (LQDs) were embedded as local potential minima. We observed a delayed photoluminescence (PL) rise from the lower-lying LQD states and a considerably faster PL decay from the higher-lying SQD states, indicating carrier transfer from the two-dimensionally coupled SQDs into the LQDs. In addition, inverse carrier tunneling from the LQDs into the SQDs was thermally induced, which is characterized by the thermal activation energy between the LQDs and SQDs. Moreover, circularly polarized transient PL behavior from the SQD states exhibits a suppression of the spin polarization decay in the initial time region, depending on the excited spin density. This tentatively suppressed spin relaxation can be quantitatively explained by selective interdot transfer of minority-spin electrons from the SQDs into LQDs, when the majority spin states in both QDs are sufficiently populated by excited spins. These findings indicate that the high-density SQDs behave as the main emitters with suppressed spin relaxation, while the scattered LQDs with lower potential behave as the receivers of minority-spin electrons. |
