Spectroscopy on self-assembled quantum dots: Transport meets optics — •Martin Geller — Faculty of Physics and CENIDE, University of Duisburg-Essen, Lotharstr. 1, 47057 Duisburg, Germany
Self-assembled quantum dots (QDs) are nanoscopic semiconductor islands in a crystalline matrix material. After more than 20 years, these "artificial atoms" are still of great interest to study fundamental physics in low-dimensional systems. They have entered commercially available products and have visionary future perspectives in quantum information processing.
After a general introduction, I will summarize the transport (like capacitance-voltage spectroscopy) and optical methods (like micro-photoluminescence) on self-assembled QDs. Afterwards, I will introduce the time-resolved conductance spectroscopy [1] and show a combination of "transport and optics". In an optical detection scheme, based on resonance fluorescence, the electron tunneling (and quantum jumps), photo-induced electron capture and Auger-recombination can be observed time-resolved on a single self-assembled dot [2].
