ABSTRACTThe growth mode of CdSe layers grown by migration enhanced epitaxy between ZnSe barriers has been investigated. In situ reflection high-energy electron diffraction shows a gradual transition to a three-dimensional growth mode which, however, is not accompanied by a change of the surface lattice constant. High-resolution transmission electron micrographs reveal a strong Cd diffusion, leading to ternary ZnCdSe quantum wells. Furthermore. composition fluctuations perpendicular to the growth direction on a nanometer scale are found already prior to the beginning of the growth mode transition. In the case of heterostructures containing a CdSe layer that has undergone the growth mode transition, micrographs show Cd-rich quantum dots with diameters of around 8 nm and heights of around 1.5 nm within a ternary quantum well. By spatially resolved photoluminescence the emission from single quantum dots could be observed. The polarization dependence of the emission from single dots indicates an asymmetric shape of the dots with certain preferential orientations along the [110] and [110] directions.

AbstractDriven by tensile strain, GaAs quantum dots (QDs) self-assemble on In0.52Al0.48As(111)A surfaces lattice-matched to InP substrates. In this study, we show that the tensile-strained self-assembly process for these GaAs(111)A QDs unexpectedly deviates from the well-known Stranski-Krastanov (SK) growth mode. Traditionally, QDs formed via the SK growth mode form on top of a flat wetting layer (WL) whose thickness is fixed. The inability to tune WL thickness has inhibited researchers’ attempts to fully control QD-WL interactions in these hybrid 0D-2D quantum systems. In contrast, using microscopy, spectroscopy, and computational modeling, we demonstrate that for GaAs(111)A QDs, we can continually increase WL thickness with increasing GaAs deposition, even after the tensile-strained QDs (TSQDs) have begun to form. This anomalous SK behavior enables simultaneous tuning of both TSQD size and WL thickness. No such departure from the canonical SK growth regime has been reported previously. As such, we can now modify QD-WL interactions, with future benefits that include more precise control of TSQD band structure for infrared optoelectronics and quantum optics applications.
