Abstract

In this letter we have performed a structural analysis at the atomic scale of GaAs/AlGaAs quantum dots grown by droplet epitaxy. The shape, composition, and strain of the quantum dots and the AlGaAs matrix are investigated. We show that the GaAs quantum dots have a Gaussian shape and that minor intermixing of Al with the GaAs quantum dot takes place. A wetting layer with a thickness of less than one bilayer was observed. © 2010 American Institute of Physics. U7 - Export Date: 2 August 2010 U7 - Source: Scopus U7 - Art. No.: 062101
