The combination of two-dimensional electron gases (2DEGs) with self-assembled quantum dots (sa-QDs) in the vicinity of the 2DEG would enable the realization of a quantum optical interface. In such a quantum interface a single electron spin located in a gate-defined QD in the 2DEG could be converted into a polarized photon via tunneling into the optically active sa-QD [1]. Studies on the influence of sa-QDs on a 2DEG have already been performed on conventional 2DEG systems [2], however, for the proposed quantum optical interface a structure based on inverted 2DEGs is more favorable.
We fabricated various samples consisting of an inverted 2DEG with sa-QDs grown close to the 2DEG, varying the (tunneling) distance between the sa-QDs and the 2DEG as well as the QD density. We determined the electron mobility as well as the carrier density by Hallbar and van-der-Pauw measurements and correlated the results to the QD density and the tunneling distance. By this an optimized sample design for the quantum optical interface can be developed.
