摘要
We report on the ability to fabricate super low density InGaAs semiconductor ring-shaped nanocrystals on a GaAs (100) surface by molecular beam epitaxy. Specifically, we demonstrate densities down to 2.3 x 10(6) cm(-2) with only self-assembled methods based on droplet epitaxy. This is several orders of magnitude lower than conventional nanostructures. The formation of these ring-shaped nanostructures is driven by a self-assembled indium nanodrilling mechanism and diffusion during crystallization.
