29. In reality one expects the dots to be alloyed due to interdiffusion, making pure InAs GaAs dots an idealization. However, Schmidt [Phys. Rev. B PRBMDO 0163-1829 10.1103/PhysRevB.54.11346 54, 11346 (1996)] and others have presented data that show exciton recombination at about 1eV, which has been attributed to pure nonalloyed InAs GaAs dots.
