摘要
Two well distinguishable classes of nanoscale islands were identified in CdSe/ZnSe quantum dot structures by optical spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy. For 2.1 to 3.1 monolayer CdSe deposition, coherent three-dimensional (3D) islands, formed in the Stranski-Krastanow (SK) mode, are found with typical diameters of similar to 16 nm and a coverage-dependent density of up to 3x10(10) cm(-2). Simultaneously, small islands with lateral extensions below 10 nm and a density of similar to 5x10(11) cm(-2) are formed by strain-modified island growth. Whereas the 3D SK islands dominate the emission properties at room temperature, the latter smaller islands determine the optical properties at temperatures below 120 K.
