Abstract

Ultralow density (approximately 10(6)/cm(2)) of twin InAs quantum dot (QD) hybrid structure was grown by a droplet epitaxy technique. The photoluminescence (PL) from ensemble and individual twin InAs QD structures showed a bimodal behavior and an energy transfer between the well-separated (approximately 190 nm) twin QDs, which was supposedly due to the special wetting ring that built the channel for exciton transfer. This research demonstrates a novel approach to fabricate lateral InAs QD pairs as the candidate for a laterally coupled QD molecule.
