摘要：
Carrier lifetimes have been measured for long-wavelength emitting InAs quantum dots (QDs) capped with a thin GaAsSb layer. Above a critical Sb composition, a type-II system is formed, resulting in an increase in the carrier lifetime. The carrier lifetime in a strongly type-II structure is increased by a factor similar to 54 in comparison to the lifetime in a type-I structure. In addition, the type-II carrier lifetime varies across the inhomogeneously broadened ground-state emission, while the type-I QD lifetime is invariant. (C) 2008 American Institute of Physics.
