摘要: 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 a hybrid approach homo-epitaxy and Stransky-Krastanor (S-K) based QD self-assembly, enables one to form new morphologies that may find use in optoelectronic applications. Increased deposition the ring first produced hole followed QDs around (100) surface. behavior indicates prefer nucleate at locations high monolayer (ML) step density.
