摘要: We report on an approach to improve the uniformity of a single layer (In,Ga)As quantum dots (QDs) grown by molecular-beam epitaxy. The key concept our is level and rebuild QDs during insertion short period GaAs/InAs superlattice between QD GaAs capping layer. For optimized thickness number periods this process results in uniform with narrow photoluminescence line width 20 meV at 4.5 K.
