We report measurements of diamagnetic shifts for different exciton complexes confined in small InAs quantum dots. The measured diamagnetic responses are sensitive to the number of carriers in the exciton complexes, with systematic differences between neutral excitons, biexcitons, and trions. Theoretical calculations suggest that such systematic differences arise from very different extents of electron and hole wave functions confined in small quantum dots. The measured magnetic response of Coulomb energies is found to vary with the cube of the wave function extent, and can be a sensitive probe to the electron-hole wave function asymmetry.

We present a spectroscopic study of single quantum-dot molecules (QDMs) formed by two closely stacked In(0.5)Ga(0.5)As/GaAs layers. It was found that the interdot coupling and directional energy transfer between the two adjacent dots can be controlled by temperature tuning. Direct and indirect excitons, as well as charged excitons in single QDMs were classified and identified by excitation-power dependent, excitation-energy dependent and polarization-resolved microphotoluminescence measurements. With the increasing temperature, the direct-exciton intensity decreases while the indirect-exciton intensity increases. A rate equation model considering phonon mediated processes has been developed. The directional energy transfer in QDMs is explained in terms of the phonon-assisted tunnelling of hole between the two adjacent dots. (C) 2009 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim

We present a spectroscopic study of single quantum dot molecules (QDMs) formed by two closely stacked In(0.5)Ga(0.5)As layers. The exciton fine structures as well as direct and indirect excitonic species associated with QDMs were identified by power dependent and polarization resolved microphotoluminescence measurements. As the temperature was increased, a directional energy transfer between the direct and indirect excitons in single QDMs was observed. A rate-equation model was developed to explain our data. We show that a phonon-assisted nonresonant tunneling of the hole between the two adjacent dots is responsible for such directional energy transfers in QDMs.
