A review is given of theoretical concepts and experimental results on spontaneous formation
of periodically ordered nanometer-scale structures on crystal surfaces. Thermodynamic …

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

This review seeks to extend the scope of both the experimental and theoreticalwork carried
out since I completed my 1993 review on the electronic, optical, andto a lesser extent, the …

In semiconductor heteroepitaxy the growing film frequently undergoes a series of strain relief
mechanisms that may include surface reconstruction, step bunching, faceting, and finally …

Epitaxy provides readers with a comprehensive treatment of the modern models and
modifications of epitaxy, together with the relevant experimental and technological …

The general trend in modern solid state physics and technology is to make things smaller.
The size of key elements in modern devices approaches the nanometer scale, for both …

We present an analysis of time-and polarization-resolved data taken in
microphotoluminescence experiments on individual CdSe/ZnSe quantum dots grown by …

Semiconductor heterostructures with self-organized quantum dots (QDs) have
experimentally exhibited properties expected for zero-dimensional systems. When used as …

The decay characteristics of excitons and biexcitons in one single semiconductor quantum
dot (QD) are directly monitored using time-and spatially resolved photoluminescence …

Vertical and lateral ordering of quantum dots in superlattices is shown to be determined by
the elastic anisotropy of the matrix material and by the growth orientation. For large …
