Energy spectrum of indium antimonide (InSb) quantum dots (QD) was analyzed in this paper. Properties of energy spectrum levels were determined both by calculations and experiments using differential tunneling current-voltage characteristics (CVC) rated to static conductivity. It was confirmed that relatively large QD (size of about 20-25 nm) exhibit quantum size effects. Critical values of the characteristic parameters of InSb QD are analyzed, in which application of the differential tunneling current-voltage characteristics method for express analysis of the characteristic sizes of QD leads to significant errors (more than 10 %).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
