abstract = {We report on the molecular beam epitaxial growth of self-assembled GaSb quantum dots (QDs) on (0 0 1) GaAs substrates with an insertion layer. The insertion layer, which is a 4-monolayers (MLs) InxGa1-xAs (x=0.00, 0.07, 0.15, 0.20 and 0.25), is grown prior to the QD growth. With this InGaAs insertion layer, the obtained QD density decreases substantially, while the QD height and diameter increase as compared with typical GaSb QDs grown on conventional (0 0 1) GaAs surface under the same growth condition. The GaSb QDs on GaAs have the dome shape with elliptical base and the elongation direction of the base is along the [1 1 0] direction. When the InGaAs insertion layer is introduced, the distinct elongation disappears and the QD sidewall shows facet-related surfaces with (0 0 1) plateau on top. © 2015 Elsevier B.V.

abstract = {We have studied the growth of GaSb/GaAs nanostructures by droplet epitaxy with the variation of Ga deposition temperature which is one of the key parameters. With the use of low Sb flux, GaSb quantum rings (QRs) were formed as a result of the outward diffusion of Ga atoms from the droplets during crystallization. An increase of the deposition temperature results in the larger QR size and the lower QR density due to the longer diffusion length of Ga atoms, which gives rise to the larger initial droplets. Interestingly, some portion of QR lobe breaks up and transforms into a quantum dot (QD) so as to reduce the mismatch strain. A nanostructure containing both QR and QD is called a quantum-ring-with-dot structure (QRDS). As the deposition temperature increases, the nanostructure height distribution changes from unimodal to bimodal behaviors owing to the significant difference between QR and QD heights, whereas the nanostructure diameter still exhibits a unimodal distribution. The bimodal height distribution strongly affects the optical properties and the dynamic of thermal-excited carriers. © 2015 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.},

abstract = {We perform structural and optical investigations of GaSb/GaAs quantum dots (QDs) grown on Ge (001) substrates by molecular beam epitaxy. Anti-phase domains (APDs) of GaAs are distributed on Ge substrate after the growth of GaAs due to the growth nature of III-V compound on group IV semiconductors having polar and non-polar behaviors. The APDs affect the QD growth as demonstrated by the growth of conventional InAs QDs on this surface. For GaSb QDs, the GaSb layer is grown on GaAs APD surface and compared with the GaSb layer on conventional (001) GaAs surface. Self-assembled QDs are formed on both surfaces but structural analysis reveals evidence of shape and size differences, which is attributed to the influence of the initial surface. Photoluminescence of GaSb/GaAs QDs grown on both Ge and GaAs substrates is studied. Emission from GaSb/GaAs QDs on Ge substrate can be detected till near room temperature (270 K). © 2014 Elsevier B.V.},

abstract = {We investigate the effect of Ga deposition rates on GaSb nanostructures grown by droplet epitaxy on GaAs (001) substrates. Ga deposition rate was varied to form the different size and density of Ga droplets. After the droplets were exposed to Sb flux, not only the GaSb ring structure but also the complex nanostructure like the GaSb ring structure surrounded by ring-shaped dot molecules were obtained. A simple descriptive model is proposed to describe formation mechanisms of these nanostructures. It is found that Ga droplet size, distance between Ga droplets and diffusion area of Ga atoms during crystallization with Sb flux are all the crucial factors which determine the shape of GaSb nanostructures. Due to a lattice mismatch between GaSb and GaAs, strain occurred during a crystallization process should also be taken into account. Photoluminescence was carried out to verify our model. © 2014 Elsevier B.V.},

The QDs, found almost exclusively on the cross-hatches, have greater lateral aspect ratio and are taller than typical QDs on flat surfaces. Polarization-resolved photoluminescent measurements show that both the QDs and CHPs exhibit polarization anisotropy. But while the CHP-related anisotropy is constant, the QD-related anisotropy is significantly enhanced or suppressed as the aspect ratio and height of the QD ensemble vary with the number of stacks. The polarization anisotropy observed agrees well with multiband tight-binding theoretical calculations of interband polarization in InAs/GaAs QDs. © 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.},

abstract = {Post-growth annealing in UHV can lead to the deformation of crystallized nanostructures. Annealing effects on structural and optical properties of InGaAs quantum rings (QRs) grown by droplet epitaxy was examined. The InGaAs QRs were fabricated by depositing 3 monolayer (ML) of In0.5Ga0.5 on GaAs (100) at the substrate temperature of 140°C, and crystallized in As4 flux of∼7×10-6 Torr at 180°C for 5 min. After the crystallization, the substrate temperature was ramped up to the desired annealing temperature (Ta) of 300-400°C in As4 beam. In situ transformations of surface morphology were observed upon the evolution of RHEED patterns. Surface morphology was analyzed by AFM. As ramping up the annealing temperature, the QRs deformed and changed to numerous smaller QDs about the QR positions. Supposedly, there was segregation of group III atoms out of the QRs. At 380°C, the QRs properly lost their actual shapes and burst into high-density small QDs. Most possible reasons of the segregation can be crystalline instability of the low-temperature-crystallized QRs, along with the different surface kinetics of In and Ga atoms. © 2013 Elsevier B.V.

The properties of InP/In 0.49Ga 0.51P SAQDs are modified when a thin (1-4 ML) GaP layer is inserted underneath the InP quantum dots (QDs). Deposition of the GaP insertion layer affects the dot dimension and improves the size uniformity. The density, dimension and uniformity of InP QDs strongly depend on the GaP insertion layer thickness. This variation in QD size is a result of a material nucleation effect caused by atomic intermixing between the InP QDs and underlying GaP insertion layer and surface energy. The insertion of GaP layer led to tuning the emission wavelength and narrowing of full width at half maximum (FWHM) when they are characterised by PL measurements at room temperature. © 2012 Canadian Society for Chemical Engineering.},

The QDM-forming conditions have been changed by varying InAs growth rate in the range of 0.01-0.03 ML/s. We found that the InAs growth rate affects nano-propeller shape, dot density, and dot height. The densities of QDs, nano-propellers, and QDMs are increasing while increasing the InAs growth rate. In contrast, the dot height and the length of propeller blades are contrary to growth rate. Also, the uniformity of dots in QDMs can be changed by an increase of growth rate. These results are confirmed by photoluminescence (PL) measurement. © 2012 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

In contrast to QDs grown on flat GaAs substrates, those grown on CHPs exhibit rich optical features which comprise as many as five ground-state emissions from [1-10]- and [110]-aligned QDs, two wetting layers (WLs), and the CHP. When subject to in situ annealing at 700°C, the PL signals rapidly degrades due to the deterioration of the CHP which sets the upper limit of overgrowth temperature. Ex situ hydrogen annealing at a much lower temperature of 350°C, however, results in an overall PL intensity increase with a significant narrowing and a small blueshift of the high-energy WL emission due to hydrogen bonding which neutralizes defects and relieves associated strains. © 2011 Himwas et al.},

Temperature-dependent photoluminescent (PL) measurements show that the bimodal size distribution gives rise to bimodal optical characteristics: the cQDs ground-state (GS) emissions vary slowly with temperature while the full-width at half maximum (FWHM) remains almost constant; the sQDs GS emissions, on the other hand, exhibit a sigmoidal temperature shift while the FWHM shows an anomalous temperature behaviour. The bimodal optical characteristics are well described in the existing framework of spatially localised excitons in QDs and inter- and intramolecular carrier redistributions in each and among the QDMs via non-resonant multi-phonon assisted mechanisms. © 2010 Elsevier B.V.

The effect of In contents (0≤x≤0.2) for InxGa1-x droplets on their shape, dimension, density, and depth profile was investigated. The concentric quantum double rings (CQDRs) are transformed into quantum rings (QRs) with squarelike nanoholes when In content is increased. The transformation mechanism is explained by the strain relaxation arguments. As In content increases, crystallization can occur not only from the outer periphery, but also from the inner periphery of the rings. This is confirmed by decrease in outer dimension and change in the hole profile along the [1 -1 0] direction. In addition, low density QRs with shallow nanoholes were found on the surface for In content of 0.2.

abstract = {Laterally close-packed quantum dots (QDs) called quantum dot molecules (QDMs) are grown using a modified molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) method. Quantum dots may be aligned and cross hatched. Quantum rings (QRs) created from quantum dot transformation during thin or partial capping are used as templates for the formations of bi-quantum dot molecules (Bi-QDMs) and quantum dot rings (QDRs). The preferable quantum dot nanostructure for quantum computation based on quantum dot cellular automata (QCA) is laterally close-packed quantum dot molecules having four quantum dots at the corners of square configuration. These four quantum dot sets are called quadra-quantum dots (QQDs). Aligned quadra-quantum dots with two electron confinements work like a wire for digital information transmission using the Coulomb repulsion force, which is fast and consumes little power. A combination of quadra-quantum dots in line and cross-over works as logic gates and memory bits. A molecular Beam Epitaxial growth technique called "Droplet Epitaxy" has been developed for several quantum nanostructures such as quantum rings and quantum dot rings. Quantum rings are prepared by using 20 ML In-Ga (15:85) droplets deposited on a GaAs substrate at 390°C with a droplet growth rate of 1ML/s. Arsenic flux (7-8×10-6Torr) is then exposed for InGaAs crystallization at 200°C for 5 min. During droplet epitaxy at a high droplet thickness and high temperature, out-diffusion from the centre of droplets occurs under anisotropic strain. This leads to quantum ring structures having non-uniform ring stripes and deep square-shaped nanoholes. Using these peculiar quantum rings as templates, four quantum dots situated at the corners of a square shape are regrown. Two of these four quantum dots are aligned either [110] or [110], which are preferable crystallographic directions of quantum dot alignment in general.},

Stacking of QDMs is time consuming and may introduce defects; therefore, optimization of stack number of QDMs is important in terms of achieving high-performance and low-cost solar cells. Samples with 1, 3, 5, 7 and 10 stacks of high-density QDMs are grown, fabricated into solar cells and characterized optically and electrically. It is found that the solar cell performance initially improves with the number of stacks, yet deteriorates once the number exceeds 5 stacks. We attribute the deterioration to defects and these put the optimized number of QDM stacks in our structure to 3-5. © 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.},
