AbstractSelf-organized Ge-dots on (001)-oriented Si-substrates have been studied using two-dimensionally resolved high resolution x-ray diffraction and reflectivity. The degree of the vertical correlation of the dot positions ("stacking") has been derived as well as a lateral ordering of the dots in a (disordered) square array with main axes parallel to ]100] and ]010].

AbstractIn this paper, we showed the significant reduction of the energy spacing between ground state and excited state emissions from InAs/GaAs quantum dots due to interface interdiffusion induced by thermal treatment. In addition, the strong narrowing of the luminescence linewidth of the ground state and excited state emissions from the InAs dot layers for the annealed samples indicates an improvement of the size-distribution of the QDs. Large blue-shift of the energy positions of both emissions was also observed. High resolution X-Ray diffraction experiments give strong evidence of the interface atom interdiffusion in the annealed samples. This work shows ability to tune the wavelength for applications like infrared detectors and lasers based on intrasubband transitions of self-assembled QDs.

In this work, we demonstrate deposition of micro-arrays of ZnSe nanospheres on Si (100) substrate using simple thermal evaporation on a self-assembled sacrificial polystyrene (PS) mask. The results have been compared with the deposition on unpatterned gold catalyst- and SU-8 (negative photoresist)-coated Si substrates. The deposited ZnSe nanospheres properties were characterised by X-ray diffraction, atomic force microscopy (AFM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Raman, photoluminescence, and UV-vis spectroscopies. The X-ray diffraction patterns of the films exhibited reflection corresponding to the cubic (111) phase and showed polycrystallinity with a cubic (zinc blende) structure. The SEM and AFM images indicated that the particles were well dispersed and spherical in shape. The micro-arrays of ZnSe nanospheres on a self-assembled sacrificial PS mask showed excellent structural, morphological, and optical properties and demonstrated its usage in photovoltaic devices as an improved superior antireflective coating. The reflectance of the micro-arrays of ZnSe nanospheres on a self-assembled sacrificial PS mask decreased to nearly half of that of the ZnSe nanospheres fabricated on Au- and SU-8-coated Si substrates in the range of 300–800 nm. Due to the well aligned and patterned surfaces, these noble textured ZnSe nanospheres may be suitable for low cost, large area photovoltaic devices and other antireflection applications.
