Observation of Quantum Dots

Observation of Quantum Dots

Quantum Dots of In0.7Ga0.3As that were grown on a GaAs (100) substrate (2ยบ inclination) by MBE were observed. From the AFM image, it is possible to obtain important optoelectronic information, such as density, shape, and regularity of the quantum dots.
