Micro-photoluminescence of GaAs/AlGaAs triple concentric quantum rings

Nanoscale Res Lett. 2011 Oct 31;6(1):569. doi: 10.1186/1556-276X-6-569.

Abstract

A systematic optical study, including micro, ensemble and time resolved photoluminescence of GaAs/AlGaAs triple concentric quantum rings, self-assembled via droplet epitaxy, is presented. Clear emission from localized states belonging to the ring structures is reported. The triple rings show a fast decay dynamics, around 40 ps, which is expected to be useful for ultrafast optical switching applications.
