Auger-recombination in a single self-assembled quantum dot: Quenching and broadening of the charged exciton — •Annika Kurzmann1, Arne Ludwig2, Andreas D.

The Auger-recombination is a non-radiative process, where the electron-hole recombination energy is transferred to a third charge carrier. While this process was extensively studied in colloidal quantum dots [1], it was considered, unimportant for self-assembled quantum dots (QDs). Here, we show that in a single self-assembled QD the Auger recombination rate can directly be determined using time-resolved resonance fluorescence (RF) measurements. Furthermore, the Auger recombination quenches and broadens the charged exciton transition (two electrons and one hole).

The QD is embedded in a field-effect transistor, and the tunneling rate from the charge reservoir into the dot is about 1/µs. The measured Auger-recombination rate is of the same order of magnitude as this tunneling rate. This leads to an uncharged QD and a quenched RF signal. Our measurements show the relevance of the ratio between the Auger-recombination rate and the tunneling rate for the properties of the charged exciton transition. A model, based on rate equations, is in good agreement with our measurements.
