Uniform quantum-dot arrays formed by natural self-faceting on patterned substrates
Article Abstract:
Self-organised growth mechanisms and growth on patterned substrates have given quantum wires and dots with the most advantageous electronic and structural properties. Achieving uniform quantum dots is important so that they exhibit a similar range of electronic and optical properties. A method for achieving better size uniformity which also retains a high density of quantum dots has been developed and the photoluminescence spectrum which results from the uniform dots is shown as one sharp line rather than several lines which quantum dots of different sizes would produce.
