Auger recombination is a non-radiative process, where the recombination energy of an electron hole pair is transferred to a third charge carrier. In colloidal quantum dots (QDs), this is a common effect which quenches the radiative emission with recombination times in the order of picoseconds [1]. In self-assembled QDs, it was speculated to be absent, and only recently, it has become possible to observe Auger recombination in these structures [2].
In this contribution, we investigate Auger recombination on a single self-assembled QD coupled to a charge reservoir with a small tunneling rate in the order of ms-1. We observe in time-resolved resonance fluorescence measurements how the small tunneling rate of the sample structure influences the Auger rate and the quenching of the trion fluorescence intensity. Furthermore, we perform real-time measurements of the random telegraph signal which gives access to the statistics of the Auger process.
