摘要: Nanometer-scale quantum dots are fabricated using the Stranski-Krastanov growth mode of InAs on GaAs(001). For an average coverage four monolayers, 10 11 cm -2 pyramidal-shaped (12±1 nm base along , 5±1 high) formed as observed in plane-view and cross-section transmission electron microscopy. The exhibit short-range order, aligning rows directions. three-dimensional confinement wave function results ultrasharp luminescence lines (full width at half maximum <0.15 meV) from individual revealed with highly spatially resolved cathodoluminescence. Even elevated temperatures extremely sharp observed, proving δ-like zero-dimensional electronic density states
