23 February 2012Semiconductor quantum nanostructures by droplet epitaxy
Droplet Epitaxy is a variant of molecular beam epitaxy for the fabrication of quantum nanostructures with
highly designable shapes and complex morphologies. With Droplet Epitaxy it is possible to combine different
quantum structures, namely quantum dots, quantum rings and quantum disks into a single unit, thus allowing
an unprecedented control over electronic properties of the fabricated quantum nanostructures.
