| We present microluminescence investigations of self-assembled CdTe/ZnTe quantum dots. The dots proprieties resulting from our studies are: values of optical in-plane anisotropy parameters (electron -- heavy hole exchange splitting and orientation of anisotropy) and value of effective Lande factor. Parameters giving information about in-plane anisotropy possess random distribution of values with the exchange splitting from 0 to 240μeV. The effective Lande factor values for our dots are around g * =-3.2 with a scatter of about 18%. Some PL lines exhibit sudden jumps of energetic position, related to variation of the charge state in their neighborhood. |
