Abstract
We study the electric-field dependence of electron emission from InAs/GaAs quantum dots in a low-temperature range 30-100 K. A theoretical treatment for electron thermal and tunneling emissions from quantum dots is performed to achieve the "effective emission rate" according to the experimentally obtained quantities. The dominant emission mechanism is found to vary as the emission voltage increases. © 2009 American Institute of Physics.
