17. For the same excitation conditions, the ground state emission in CWPL experiments is ≈2 times weaker in the doped QDs than the undoped QDs due to a faster measured recombination rate in the doped QDs. This is attributed to enhanced radiative recombination in the presence of the built-in carriers in the doped QDs.

23. QD=2 (300 K), however, we verified that the measured rise times are independent of density over this range for experiments at 77 K [Fig. 3(a)] and 300 K (data not shown), and therefore this density variation will not influence the temperature-dependent results in Fig. 3(b).
24. This lack of temperature dependence also suggests that electrons that may exist in barrier states due to state filling effects do not contribute significantly to the hole relaxation process.
