description

Semiconductor quantum dots which trap simultaneously electrons and holes are called quantum dots of type-I. Contrary to these structures, empty dots of type-II attract only one type of charged carriers and repel the other. Particularities of confining potential are unaccessible by any direct measurements, thus recognition of quantum dot type by indirect method is highly desired. Our proposal is to distinguish between the two types of quantum dots via a comparison of photoluminescence spectra of these structures, which differ in both cases qualitatively.
