Optimization of the Size Distribution of Self-Organized Quantum Dots

Abstract

We have performed kinetic Monte Cado simulations which explain the self-organized Stranski-Krastanov growth of quantum dots by the nonlinear interplay of deposition, surface diffusion, and the strain field. The optimization of the size distribution and the spatial arrangement of the quantum dots is discussed with respect to the coverage of the semiconductor surface.
