Abstract
Interfacial compositional disordering in quantum dots has been used to tune their intersublevel energy spacings Interdiffusion blueshifted all levels while lowering values for Rate equation simulations of photoluminescence (PL) spectra estimated relaxation lifetime ratios for intersublevel transitions. A slight trend towards increasing thermalization rates at values phonon energies was found. However, PL measurements showed strong emission from excited states for all values, which ranged from 53 to 25 meV.
