Precise lattice parameter measurements in single crystals are achievable, in principle, by X-ray multiple diffraction (MD) experiments. Tiny sample misalignments can compromise systematic usage of MD in studies where accuracy is an…
Geometric phase analysis has been applied to high resolution aberration corrected (scanning) transmission electron microscopy images of InAs/GaAs quantum dot (QD) materials. We show quantitatively how the lattice mismatch induced strain…
Ultra-precise lattice parameter measurements in single crystals are achievable, in principle, by X-ray multiple diffraction (XMD) experiments. Tiny sample misalignments have hindered the systematic usage of XMD in studies where accuracy is…
We present a detailed x-ray diffraction study of the strain in InAs/GaSb superlattices grown by molecular beam epitaxy. The superlattices were grown with either InSb or GaAs interfaces. We show that the superlattice morphology, either…
Shape transformations of partially capped self-assembled InAs quantum dots grown on InP are studied. Atomic force microscopy images show large anisotropic redistribution of the island material after coverage by a 1 nm thick InP layer. The…
We report micro-photoluminescence studies of single GaN/AlN quantum dots grown along the (0001) crystal axis by molecular beam epitaxy on Si(111) substrates. The emission lines exhibit a linear polarization along the growth plane, but 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…
In this work we report on a self-assembled growth of a Ge quantum dot lattice in a single 600-nm-thick Ge+Al2O3 layer during magnetron sputtering deposition of a Ge+Al2O3 mixture at an elevated substrate temperature. The self-assembly…
Epitaxial growth of orthorhombic SnSe on cubic substrates is challenging due to lattice-symmetry mismatch and anisotropic bonding. Here we demonstrate that epitaxial films with sharp interfaces can be achieved for layered SnSe grown…
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…
The electrochemical growth of Au nanowires in a template of nano-porous anodic aluminum oxide was investigated in situ by means of grazing-incidence transmission small- and wide-angle x-ray scattering (GTSAXS and GTWAXS), x-ray fluorescence…
Selective area growth (SAG) of nanowires and networks promise a route toward scalable electronics, photonics and quantum devices based on III-V semiconductor materials. The potential of high-mobility SAG nanowires however is not yet fully…
The strain state and composition of a 400 nm thick (In,Ga)N layer grown by metal-organic chemical vapor deposition on a GaN template are investigated by spatially integrated x-ray diffraction and cathodoluminescence (CL) spectroscopy as…
The size distribution of self-assembled InAs quantum dots grown on (001) InP under the Stranski-Krastanow growth mode is controlled using selective area/chemical beam epitaxy, which allows the formation of quantum dots at specific…
We report on a high resolution x-ray diffraction study unveiling the effect of carriers optically injected into (In,Ga)As quantum dots on the surrounding GaAs crystal matrix. We find a tetragonal lattice expansion with enhanced elongation…
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…
Using the mechano-optical stress sensor technique, we observe a counter-intuitive reduction of the compressive stress when InAs is deposited on GaAs (001) during growth of quantum posts. Through modelling of the strain fields, we find that…
Small numbers of nitrogen dopants dramatically modify the electronic properties of GaAs, generating very large shifts in the conduction-band energies with nonlinear concentration dependence, and impurity-associated spatially-localized…
Pattern formation induced by wrinkling is a very common phenomenon exhibited in soft-matter substrates. In all these systems wrinkles develop in presence of compressively stressed thin films lying on compliant substrates. Here we…
Grazing incidence anomalous x-ray scattering was used to monitor in situ the molecular beam epitaxy growth of GaN/AlN quantum dots (QDs). The strain state was studied by means of grazing incidence Multi-wavelength Anomalous Di raction (MAD)…
