Optical characterisation of InAs quantum dots grown on {110} cleaved GaAs facets
(2002) Proceedings of 7th International Conference on Nanometer-Scale Science and Technology and 21st European Conference on Surface Science (NANO-7/ECOSS-21)- Abstract
- We have grown InAs quantum dots on the {110} cleaved edges of (001) GaAs wafers. The lattice mismatch drives the formation of the quantum dots in a Stranski-Krastanow growth mode. We have investigated the properties of the resulting structures by atomic force microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy and low-temperature cathodoluminescence. The growth of GaAs on the cleaved edge is characterised by triangular features, similar to fish scales on a micron scale. The InAs forms a wetting-layer on the scales and the quantum dots tend to grow near the edges of the scales. The cathodoluminescence spectra are dominated by two peaks, one from the wetting layer and one from the quantum dots. Monochromatic imaging... (More)

The cathodoluminescence spectra are dominated by two peaks, one from the wetting layer and one from the quantum dots. Monochromatic imaging confirms that the quantum dots are located around the edges of the fish scales. Imaging in combination with spot mode spectra reveals that the width of the quantum dot peak comes from a variation in the emission energy of the individual quantum dots (Less)
