摘要: The formation of a quaternary InGaAsSb alloy is shown to occur in the core epitaxial GaSb capped InAs∕GaAs quantum dots emitting at 1.3μm. existence four constituent elements demonstrated by using spatially resolved low-loss electron energy loss spectroscopy and aberration-corrected high angle annular dark field scanning transmission microscopy. intermixing process giving rise this takes place despite large miscibility gap between InAs binary compounds, probably driven strain dots.
