摘要
Self-assembled InAs quantum dot molecules (QDMs) have been grown by thin-capping-and-regrowth MBE technique. 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. (C) 2012 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
