Abstract
Raman scattering by optical phonons in unstrained Ge quantum dots obtained in GaAs/ZnSe/Ge/ZnSe structures was studied using molecular beam epitaxy. A shift in the E 1, E 1+Δ1 resonance energy due to the quantization of the spectrum of electron and hole states in quantum dots was observed. The properties observed were explained with the use of a simplest model of localization with allowance for the spectrum of Ge electron states.
