Quantum-well-wire growth by molecular-beam epitaxy: A computer simulation study

Abstract
A computer simulation developed for modeling the growth of low-dimensional III-V alloy structures by molecular-beam epitaxy (MBE) is used to assess the potential of MBE as a method for growing high-quality quantum-well wires. The existence of a temperature window for optimum growth quality is demonstrated, with the position and width of the window showing a sensitivity to the beam flux.
