Abstract

The GaAs quantum dots (QDs) on an AlGaAsGaAs (111) A surface grown by a droplet epitaxy have a density of 1.6× 1011 cm2, which is relatively higher than those (1.3× 1010 cm2) on an AlGaAsGaAs (001) surface. The formation of highly dense GaAs QDs on the (111) A surface can be explained by the relatively short surface migration of Ga atoms. The GaAs QDs on AlGaAsGaAs (111) A showed the intense photoluminescence (PL) and a relatively narrower PL linewidth compared to that of the GaAs QDs on AlGaAsGaAs (001), indicating that the QDs on the GaAs (111) A substrate have a high crystal quality and high uniformity than those on GaAs (001).
