Abstract: | The evolution of InAs quantum dot (QD) formation is studied on GaAs ring-like nanostructures fabricated by droplet homo-epitaxy.
This growth mode, exclusively performed by a hybrid approach of droplet homo-epitaxy and Stransky-Krastanor (S-K) based QD
self-assembly, enables one to form new QD morphologies that may find use in optoelectronic applications. Increased deposition
of InAs on the GaAs ring first produced a QD in the hole followed by QDs around the GaAs ring and on the GaAs (100) surface.
This behavior indicates that the QDs prefer to nucleate at locations of high monolayer (ML) step density. |
