摘要
The exciton dynamics in self-organized InGaAs/GaAs quantum dots with systematically varying structural properties is investigated by time-resolved photoluminescence spectroscopy. Decreasing the lateral confinement by ex-situ annealing increases the exciton lifetime and accelerates intradot relaxation. The altered exciton dynamics is attributed to the decreasing electron-hole overlap in the annealed QDs, resulting from the smoother confinement potential. The results demonstrate the effect of the actual confinement potential on the exciton-photon and exciton-phonon interactions, pointing out possible pathways to device optimization.
