As a system with both profound physics and promising application potentials, the strain-induced self-assembled semiconductor nanostructures have been investigated for decades of years. The optical and electrical properties of this system…
Self-assembled InAs quantum dots (QDs) grown on GaAs(001) surface by molecular beam epitaxy under continuous and growth-interruption modes exhibit two families of QDs, quasi-3D (Q3D) and 3D QDs, whose volume density evolution is…
We develop a temperature dependent empirical pseudopotential theory to study the electronic and optical properties of self-assembled quantum dots (QDs) at finite temperature. The theory takes the effects of both lattice expansion and…
Self-assembled quantum dots based on III-V semiconductors have excellent properties for applications in quantum optics. However, the presence of a 2D wetting layer which forms during the Stranski-Krastanov growth of quantum dots can limit…
The effect of wetting layers on the strain and electronic structure of InAs self-assembled quantum dots grown on GaAs is investigated with an atomistic valence-force-field model and an empirical tight-binding model. By comparing a dot with…

We report a correlative microscopy study of a sample containing three stacks of InGaN/GaN quantum dots (QDs) grown at different substrate temperature, each stack consisting of 3 layers of QDs. Decreasing the substrate temperature along the…
We have studied the relative adhesion (the wetting) of dislocation-free three-dimensional islands belonging to an array of islands to the wetting layer in Stranski-Krastanov growth mode. The array has been simulated as a chain of islands in…
This study compares cross-sectional scanning tunnelling microscopy (XSTM) and atom probe tomography (APT). We use epitaxially grown self-assembled InAs quantum dots (QDs) in GaAs as an exemplary material with which to compare these two…
We use scanning tunneling microscopy to study the temperature evolution of the atomic-scale properties of the nearly-commensurate charge density wave (NC-CDW) state of the low-dimensional material, 1T-TaS$_2$. Our measurements at 203 K, 300…
We report the direct observation of coupling between a single self-assembled InAs quantum dot and a wetting layer, based on strong diamagnetic shifts of many-body exciton states using magneto-photoluminescence spectroscopy. An extremely…
Standard semiconductor fabrication techniques are used to fabricate a quantum dot (QD) made of WS2, where Coulomb oscillations were found. The full-width-at-half-maximum of the Coulomb peaks increases linearly with temperature while the…
The Stranski-Krastanov (SK) growth-mode facilitates the self-assembly of quantum dots (QDs) using lattice-mismatched semiconductors, for instance InAs and GaAs. SK QDs are defect-free and can be embedded in heterostructures and…
The optical response of (InGa)(AsSb)/GaAs quantum dots (QDs) grown on GaP (001) substrates is studied by means of excitation and temperature-dependent photoluminescence (PL), and it is related to their complex electronic structure. Such QDs…
