摘要
Surface modification by atomic hydrogen homogenizes the distribution and reduces the size of self-organized quantum dots (QDs) grown hy molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) and also improves their photoluminescence intensity. Quantum dot arrays of InGaAs are obtained on GaAs(311)B by conventional MBE. The size and the density are approximately 30 nm and 7 x 10(10)/cm(2). The ordered structure of QDs shows strong dependence on the In content, and the arrays of the QDs begin to become disordered as the In content increases to more than 0.6. The formation of the dot array is induced by wavy surface instability. The dot array on GaAs(311)B is metastable and disordered upon thermal annealing.
