The following article appeared in Journal of Applied Physics and may be found at http://aip.scitation.org/doi/10.1063/1.4958871. <p>The properties of InAs quantum dots (QDs) have been studied for application in intermediate band solar cells. It is found that suppression of plastic relaxation in the QDs has a significant effect on the optoelectronic properties. Partial capping plus annealing is shown to be effective in controlling the height of the QDs and in suppressing plastic relaxation. A force balancing model is used to explain the relationship between plastic relaxation and QD height. A strong luminescence has been observed from strained QDs, indicating the presence of localized states in the desired energy range. No luminescence has been observed from plastically relaxed QDs.</p> Text Improved Optical Properties of InAs Quantum Dots for Intermediate Band Solar Cells by Suppression of Misfit Strain Relaxation
