Instabilities in semiconductor heterostructure growth can be exploited for the self-organized
formation of nanostructures, allowing for carrier confinement in all three spatial dimensions …

In this article we review the extensive experimental work on the compositional mapping of
semiconductor quantum dots and rings. After a brief introduction of the various experimental …

A method for growing self-assembled II–VI quantum dots (QDs) is demonstrated: A highly
strained CdTe layer, grown onto Zn (Mg) Te, is covered with an amorphous Te layer which is …

Statistical fluctuations of the magnetization are measured on the nanometer scale. As the
experimental monitor we use the characteristic photoluminescence signal of a single …

Statistical fluctuations of the magnetization on a nanometer scale have been investigated
with the use of magneto-optical spectroscopy of quasi-zero-dimensional excitonic magnetic …

CdSe nanocrystal (NC) thin films of different NC sizes were synthesized using vacuum
deposition technique. The films showed blue shift of band gap and the NC sizes calculated …

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses low-dimensional structures of II–VI diluted
magnetic semiconductors (DMS) with manganese and describes the carrier concentration …

The development of STEM is outlined from the first developments by Baron Manfred von
Ardenne, through the first successful field emission gun STEM by Albert Crewe and his …

We have studied the temperature dependence of the photoluminescence (PL) spectra of
molecular beam epitaxy grown ultrathin Zn 1− x Cd x S e/Z n S e quantum wells with random …

The effect of size and shape anisotropy on the optical properties of Stranski-Krastanov
quantum dots (QDs) is theoretically investigated. The QD is modeled using anisotropic …
