Anisotropic Lattice Deformation of InAs Self-Assembled Quantum Dots Embedded in GaNAs Strain Compensating Layers
نویسندگان
چکیده
Lattice deformations of InAs self-assembled quantum dots, which were grown on (001) GaAs substrates and embedded in GaNAs strain compensating layers (SCLs), were examined with an ion-channeling method in Rutherford backscattering spectrometry. The channeling experiments demonstrated that the increase of the nitrogen concentrations in the GaNAs SCLs caused the indium lattice displacements along the [001] growth direction while those parallel to the (001) crystal plane were kept unchanged

Long wavelength InAs self-assembled quantum dots embedded in GaNAs strain-compensating layers
We investigated the effect of GaNAs strain-compensating layers (SCLs) on the properties of InAs self-assembled quantum dots (QDs) grown on GaAs (0 0 1) substrates. The GaNAs material can be used as SCL thereby minimizing the net strain, and thus is advantageous for multi-stacking of InAs QDs structures and achieving long wavelength emission. The emission wavelength of InAs QDs can be tuned by c...
متن کاملSelf-assembled InAs quantum dots grown on InP (3 1 1)B substrates: Role of buffer layer and amount of InAs deposited
The formation of InAs quantum dots by Stransky-Krastanow method on (311)B InP substrates has been studied. On Al0.48In0.52As alloy lattice matched on InP, large changes of the quantum dot structural characteristics were observed as a function of the amount of InAs deposited and of the As pressure during the InAs quantum dots formation. Small quantum dots (minimum diameter = 20 nm) in very high ...
