研究目的
To study the effects of the growth temperature of a capping layer on the optical spin properties of In0.5Ga0.5As quantum dots (QDs) by photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy, including behaviors of the degree of circular polarization (CPD).
研究成果
Decreasing the growth temperature of the capping layer increases the In composition inside QDs, leading to a lower-energy shift of the PL energy and suppression of thermal escape of electrons from QD excited states to barriers. High CPD values indicate high-quality QDs grown at various capping growth temperatures.
研究不足
The study is limited to In0.5Ga0.5As QDs and does not explore other compositions or materials. The effects of capping layer growth temperature are studied within a specific range (500-440°C), and the findings may not be applicable outside this range.

The study involves growing In
2：5Ga5As QDs on GaAs(100) substrates by molecular beam epitaxy at various capping layer growth temperatures (500, 470, and 440°C) and analyzing their optical spin properties using PL spectroscopy. Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Three types of single layer In
3：5Ga5As QDs were grown with a nominal thickness of 8 ML at a growth rate of 20 ML/s at 500°C, followed by a 10 nm-thick capping layer grown at different temperatures. List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
