Vertical order in stacked layers of self-assembled In(Ga)As quantum rings on GaAs (001)

Abstract: Stacked layers of self-assembled In͑Ga͒As quantum rings on GaAs grown by solid source molecular beam epitaxy are studied by ex situ atomic force microscopy ͑AFM͒, low temperature photoluminescence ͑PL͒ and cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy ͑XTEM͒. The influence of the strain field and InAs segregation on the surface morphology, optical properties and vertical ordering of three quantum ring layers is analyzed for GaAs spacers between layers from 1.5 to 14 nm. AFM and PL results show that samples … Show more

“…An interesting example is the one in the shape of a ring [1][2][3], which shows oscillations in the electron and hole ground state energy with varying magnetic field [4]. The oscillations are due to the Aharonov-Bohm effect, which is the result of double connected topology of the ring and wave nature of the charge carriers [5].…”

“…Molecular states in vertically coupled QRs have been investigated [21,22,23,24,25,26,27], but the hybridized orbitals in such systems are aligned along the vertical direction. As a result, their response to vertical magnetic fields, which are responsible for AB effects, is very weak [23].…”

“…The sample was grown by molecular beam epitaxy and contains 29 mutually decoupled periods [ Fig. 1(a)] [15]. Each period consists of a nanostructured InAs layer, between two 24 nm GaAs layers, and a 2 nm doped (7 10 16 cm ÿ3 Si) GaAs layer that provides electrons to the InAs nanostructures.…”
