Epitaxial self-assembled quantum dots (SAQDs) are of both technological and fundamental interest, but their reliable manufacture still presents a technical challenge. To better understand the formation, morphology and ordering of epitaxial self-assembled quantum dots (SAQDs), it is essential to have an accurate model that can aid further experiments and predict the trends in SAQD formation. SAQDs form because of the destabilizing effect of elastic mismatch strain, but most analytic models and some numerical models of SAQD formation either assume an elastically homogeneous anisotropic film-substrate system or assume an elastically heterogeneous isotropic system. In this work, we perform the full film-substrate elastic calculation. Then we incorporate the elasticity calculation into a stochastic linear growth model. We find that using homogeneous elasticity can cause errors in the elastic energy density as large as 26%, and for typical modeling parameters lead to errors of about 11% in the estimated value of average dot spacing. We also quantify the effect of elastic heterogeneity on the order estimates of SAQDs and confirm previous finding on the possibility of order enhancement by growing a film near the critical film height.
Epitaxial self-assembled quantum dots (SAQDs) represent an important step in the advancement of semiconductor fabrication at the nanoscale that will allow breakthroughs in electronics and optoelectronics. In these applications, order is a key factor.
Epitaxial self-assembled quantum dots (SAQDs) are of interest for nanostructured optoelectronic and electronic devices such as lasers, photodetectors and nanoscale logic. Spatial order and size order of SAQDs are important to the development of usabl
We investigate the electronic structure of the InAs/InP quantum dots using an atomistic pseudopotential method and compare them to those of the InAs/GaAs QDs. We show that even though the InAs/InP and InAs/GaAs dots have the same dot material, their
We study spin dynamics of excitons confined in self-assembled CdSe quantum dots by means of optical orientation in magnetic field. At zero field the exciton emission from QDs populated via LO phonon-assisted absorption shows a circular polarization o
