Electron capture dynamics into self-assembled quantum dots far from equilibrium with their environment — •Lukas Berg1, Laurin Schnorr1, Thomas Heinzel1, Arne Ludwig2, and Andreas Dirk Wieck2 — 1Heinrich-Heine Universität, Düsseldorf, Germany — 2Ruhr-Universität, Bochum, Germany
The electron capture process in self-assembled quantum dots at large distance from the reservoirs is studied by deep level transient spectroscopy. Capture rates are obtained as a function of temperature, applied bias voltage and quantum dot occupancy. The observed activated character of the capture suggests that the back contact is the dominant electron source. A model is developed where electrons diffuse from the reservoir across the barrier onset from the space charge region to be captured by the self-assembled quantum dots.
