contents Effect of doped layer placed in structures with indirect band-gap (In,Al)As/AlAs quantum dots (QDs) on heterointerface sharpness is investigated. We demonstrate that growth of n (p) doped layer below QDs sheet leads to pronounced deceleration (acceleration) for dynamics of exciton recombination (which is very sensitive to heterointeface structure in these QDs) in compare with the undoped structure. Opposite, the placing of the same doped layers above the QDs sheet does not effect on the exciton recombination dynamic at all. The experimental data are explained by increase (decrease) charged vacancy formation rate in the cation sublattice, that result in QD/matrix interface bluring (sharping), with the increases in the electron (hole) concentration at this heterointerface formation. The thicknesses of the diffuse layer on QD/matrix heterointerface estimated is in range from 0 up to 5 in the lattice constant depending on doped layer placing.
