Using Coulomb blockade and photoluminescence, we observe that significant tuning of single particle energies (~ -0.5 meV/MPa) leads to variable tuning of exciton energies (+18 to -0.9 micro-eV/MPa) under tensile stress. Modest tuning of the permanent dipole, Coulomb interaction and fine-structure splitting energies is also measured. We exploit the variable exciton response to tune multiple quantum dots on the same chip into resonance.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v3", "updated": "2012-07-21T14:43:29.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "individual self-assembled quantum dots", "electro-elastic tuning", "tune multiple quantum dots", "single particle energies", "ingaas quantum dots" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "journal": "Nano Letters", "year": 2012, "month": "Jul", "volume": 12, "number": 7, "pages": 3761 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 16, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2012NanoL..12.3761K" } } }
