▎ 摘　　要

Graphene was grown by chemical vapor deposition and successfully transferred onto InAs/GaAs quantum dots (QDs) grown by molecular beam epitaxy on a (001) GaAs substrate. To our knowledge, the hybrid structure of graphene replacing the conventional GaAs layer as a cap layer has not been explored until now. In this work, the authors present the photoluminescence (PL) and Raman spectroscopy study of InAs/GaAs graphene-capped QDs. The Raman measurements show an intense 2D peak at 2704 cm(-1) which is the main characteristic indicating the presence of graphene. The recorded PL at temperature T = 300K shows two sharp peaks located at 1.177 and 1.191 eV, which is attributed to radiative emission from the quantum dots. These peaks, which are generally very weak in InAs/GaAs quantum dots at this temperature, are instead very intense. The enhancement of the PL emission evidenced electron transfer from the graphene layer to the QDs. (C) 2013 American Vacuum Society. [http://dx.doi.org/10.1116/1.4790365]
