Resumen
The possibility of an independent tuning of the electron and hole confinement in InAs/GaAs quantum dots (QDs) by using a thin GaAsSbN capping layer (CL) is studied. 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.
