摘要: Using three-dimensional k∙p calculation including strain and piezoelectricity the authors predict variation of electronic optical properties InAs∕GaAs quantum dots (QDs) with substrate orientation. The QD transition energies are obtained for high index substrates, [11k] where k=1,2,3, compared [001]. They find that size in growth direction determines degree influence orientation: flatter dots, larger difference from reference [001] case.
