Abstract
We report on calculations of capture and relaxation of carriers in quantum dots, specifically, InAs/GaAs self-assembled dots. We point out that the phonon-assisted carrier capture presents strong resonances versus the dot size and that the intradot Auger relaxation is extremely fast in these structures. This shows that energy relaxation in InAs/GaAs self-organized quantum dots is dominated by capture effects.Keywords
