Epitaxial growth and Photoluminescence Excitation spectroscopy of CdSe Quantum Dots in (Zn,Cd)Se barrier
Abstract
Design, epitaxial growth, and resonant spectroscopy of CdSe Quantum Dots (QDs) embedded in an innovative (Zn,Cd)Se barrier are presented. The (Zn,Cd)Se barrier enables shifting of QDs energy emission down to 1.87 eV, that is below the energy of Mn2+ ions internal transition (2.1 eV). This opens a perspective for implementation of epitaxial CdSe QDs doped with several Mn ions as, e. g., the light sources in high quantum yield magnetooptical devices. Polarization resolved Photoluminescence Excitation measurements of individual QDs reveal sharp ( < 150 μeV) maxima and transfer of optical polarization to QD confining charged exciton state with efficiency attaining 26 %. The QD doping with single Mn2+ ions is achieved.
