The power dependent and temperature dependent photoluminescence (PL) spectra show that the peak centered at 3.3 eV is dominated by free exciton transition in the Ge QDs. The PL spectra reveal a blueshift in peak energy as the dot size decreases.

The significant photocurrent enhancement in Ge QD photodiodes is inferred from the photoexcited exciton tunneling or photoinduced conduction currents. Pei-Wen Li 李佩雯 2011 學位論文 ; thesis 80 zh-TW |
