This channel is due to a light hole admixture in the excitonic ground state. Its presence was experimentally confirmed by a direct observation of the dark exciton photoluminescence from a cleaved edge of the sample. The polarization resolved measurements revealed that a photon created from the dark exciton recombination is emitted only in the direction perpendicular to the growth axis. Strong correlation between the dark exciton lifetime and the in-plane hole g-factor enabled us to show that the radiative recombination is a dominant decay channel of the dark excitons in CdTe/ZnTe quantum dots.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2013-01-03T00:53:43.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "78.67.Hc", "78.20.Ls", "78.55.Et" ], "keywords": [ "in-plane radiative recombination channel", "self-assembled quantum dots", "cdte/znte quantum dots", "dominant decay channel", "in-plane hole g-factor" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Physical Review B", "year": 2012, "month": "Dec", "volume": 86, "number": 24, "pages": 241305 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2012PhRvB..86x1305S" } } }
