By controlling the Sb and N contents in the quaternary alloy, the band structure of the QDs can be broadly tuned and converted from type-II in the valence band (high Sb contents) to type-I and to type-II in the conduction band (high N contents). Nevertheless, the simultaneous presence of Sb and N is found to induce strain and composition inhomogeneities in the CL and to degrade the photoluminescence of the structure.}, publisher = {American Institute of Physics}, title = {Independent tuning of electron and hole confinement in InAs/GaAs quantum dots through a thin GaAsSbN capping layer}, doi = {10.1063/1.3673563}, author = {Ulloa, J.M. and Fernández de los Reyes, Daniel and Montes, M. and Yamamoto, K. and Sales Lérida, David and González Robledo, David and Guzman, A. and Hierro, A.}, }
