摘要
We observe in strained GaN self-assembled quantum dots grown on an AlN layer, a dramatic modification of the optical emission spectra as the dot size varies. In "large" quantum dots with an average height of 4.1 nm, the photoluminescence (PL) peak is centered at 2.95 eV, nearly 0.5 eV below the bulk GaN bandgap. We attribute this enormous redshift to a giant 5.5 MV cm(-1) piezoelectric field present in our dots. Temperature-dependent PL studies reveal the strongly zero-dimensional character of this QD system and are consistent with an intrinsic PL mechanism. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd.
