Abstract
Comparisons of buried InAs/GaAs and InAs/InP quantum dots (QDs) utilizing transmission electron microscopy display interesting parallels and differences between the two systems. The higher 7.2% misfit in the InAs/GaAs system produces small (∼20 nm diameter) QDs with a majority displaying a predominately round shape. The lower 3.2% misfit in the InAs/InP system produces larger QDs (∼35 nm diameter) with the majority also displaying a predominately round shape. In both systems, the size of the QDs can be varied by changes in growth procedures and the largest QDs in any population show evidence of facetingThis publication has 13 references indexed in Scilit:
