Effects of Indium Composition Fluctuation on Strain Fields of InGaAs/GaAs Quantum Dots

並列摘要


A model based on theory of linear elasticity is successfully developed to analyze the strain fields in and around InGaAs quantum dots. In the model, the initial stresses of quantum dots arising from the lattice mismatch of the heterostructure introduce elastic deformation in the entire quantum-dot nanostructure. The total strain fields of quantum dots consist of initial strains and relaxation strains. Relaxation strains are determined using the finite element method. The calculated relaxation strains agree well with previous experimental results using high-resolution electron microscopy imaging. The numerical results also reveal that the strain fields of IncGa1-cAs quantum dots are significantly different from their counterparts in mean concentration In0.31Ga0.69As quantum dots. These differences are attributed to variations in the chemical composition of quantum dots.
