Abstract

The effects of radiation damage exposure on InGaAs quantum wells and InAs quantum dots are compared using luminescence spectroscopy techniques. A large increase in the radiation resistance of the InAs quantum dots is observed and attributed to exciton localization in the quantum dots and a point defect strain gettering effect.
