We report on the optical experiments performed on low density GaN/AlGaN quantum dots grown on sapphire substrate using SiN during the growth process. The existence of quantum dots in the investigated structures was confirmed by atomic force microscopy. Although macro-luminescence of the investigated structures consist of broad emission lines the micro-photoluminescence experiments performed with the spatial resolution of 0.25μm revealed sharp emission lines from the individual quantum dot in the energy range of 3.20--3.55eV. It is shown that the magnetic fields up to 7T do not influence significantly the electronic states of the dots. |
