This paper presents the results of the experimental studies of InAs quantum dot overgrowth by a low-temperature GaAs layer at different arsenic vapor pressures. We reveal that a threefold decrease in the arsenic pressure at a fixed deposition rate of the capping layer leads to a change in the shape of the photoluminescence spectrum of quantum dots with one maximum at the level of 1.19 eV to the shape of the spectrum with two low-energy contributions at the levels of 1.08 and 1.15 eV. Based on the analysis of the power dependences of the photoluminescence spectra, we conclude that the low-energy contributions of the photoluminescence of quantum dots overgrown at a low arsenic pressure correspond to the ground-state emission of two groups of quantum dots with different average sizes formed during mass transfer in the "quantum dot-wetting layer-matrix" system. Keywords: quantum dots, InAs/GaAs, Stranski-Krastanov mechanism, molecular beam epitaxy, arsenic pressure. DOI: 10.61011/SC.2023.04.56425.13k
