Mulheran and Blackman have provided a simple and clear explanation of the scale invariance of the island size distribution at the early stage of film growth [Phil. Mag. Lett. 72, 55 (1995)]. Their theory is centered on the concept of capture zone properly identified by Voronoi cell. Here we substantiate experimentally their theory by studying the scale invariance of InAs quantum dots (QDs) forming on GaAs(001) substrate. In particular, we show that the volume distributions of QDs well overlap the corrisponding experimental distributions of the Voronoi-cell areas. The interplay between the experimental data and the numerical simulations allowed us to determine the spatial correlation length among QDs.

Fe3Si/Al/Fe3Si/GaAs(001) structures were deposited by molecular-beam epitaxy and characterized by transmission and scanning electron microscopy, and x-ray diffraction. The first Fe3Si film on GaAs(001) is growing epitaxially as (001) oriented single
crystal. The subsequent Al film grows almost 111 oriented in a fibre texture although the underlying Fe3Si is exactly (001) oriented. The growth in this orientation is triggered by a thin transition region which is formed at the Fe3Si/Al interface. In the end after the growth of the second Fe3Si layer on top of the Al the final properties of the whole stack depend on the substrate temperature T_S during deposition of the last film. The upper Fe3Si films are mainly 110 oriented although they are poly-crystalline. At lower T_S, around room temperature, all the films retain their original structural properties.
Excitonic polaron is directly demonstrated for the first time in InAs/GaAs quantum dots with photoluminescence method. A new peak ($s$) below the ground state of exciton ($s$) comes out as the temperature varies from 4.2 K to 285 K, and a huge anticr
ossing energy of 31 meV between $s$ and $s$ is observed at 225 K, which can only be explained by the formation of excitonic polaron. The results also provide a strong evidence for the invalidity of Huang-Rhys formulism in dealing with carrier-longitudinal optical phonon interaction in quantum dot. Instead, we propose a simple two-band model, and it fits the experimental data quite well. The reason for the finding of the anticrossing is also discussed.
The two- to three-dimensional growth transition in the InAs/GaAs(001) heterostructure has been investigated by atomic force microscopy. The kinetics of the density of three dimensional quantum dots evidences two transition thresholds at 1.45 and 1.59
ML of InAs coverage, corresponding to two separate families, small and large. Based on the scaling analysis, such families are characterized by different mechanisms of aggregation, involving the change of the critical nucleus size. Remarkably, the small ones give rise to a wealth of monomers through the erosion of the step edges, favoring the explosive nucleation of the large ones.
The spin polarization of electrons trapped in InAs self-assembled quantum dot ensembles is investigated. A statistical approach for the population of the spin levels allows one to infer the spin polarization from the measure values of the addition en
ergies. From the magneto-capacitance spectroscopy data, the authors found a fully polarized ensemble of electronic spins above 10 T when $mathbf{B}parallel[001]$ and at 2.8 K. Finally, by including the g-tensor anisotropy the angular dependence of spin polarization with the magnetic field $mathbf{B}$ orientation and strength could be determined.
We report on the micro-photoluminescence spectroscopy of InAs/GaAs quantum dots (QD) doped by a single Mn atom in a magnetic field either longitudinal or perpendicular to the optical axis. In both cases the spectral features of positive trion (X+) ar
e found to split into strongly circularly polarized components, an effect very surprising in a perpendicular magnetic field. The field-induced splitting is ascribed to the transverse Zeeman splitting of the neutral acceptor complex A0 issued by the Mn impurity, whereas the circular optical selection rules result from the p-d exchange which acts as a very strong longitudinal magnetic field inhibiting the spin mixing by the transverse field of the QD heavy-hole ground state. A theoretical model of the spin interactions which includes (i) the local strain anisotropy experienced by the acceptor level and (ii) the anisotropic exchange due to the out-of-center Mn position provides a very good agreement with our observations.
