Strain Relaxation of InAs Quantum Dots on Misoriented InAlAs(111) Metamorphic Substrates
NANOMATERIALS(2022)
Abstract
We investigate in detail the role of strain relaxation and capping overgrowth in the self-assembly of InAs quantum dots by droplet epitaxy. InAs quantum dots were realized on an In0.6Al0.4As metamorphic buffer layer grown on a GaAs(111)A misoriented substrate. The comparison between the quantum electronic calculations of the optical transitions and the emission properties of the quantum dots highlights the presence of a strong quenching of the emission from larger quantum dots. Detailed analysis of the surface morphology during the capping procedure show the presence of a critical size over which the quantum dots are plastically relaxed.
