Abstract

The exact shape of self-assembled quantum dots is still a controversial subject in the literature, despite the fact that this knowledge is of paramount importance for modeling the energy levels and electron wavefunctions in the quantum dots. We will describe reflection high energy electron diffraction (RHEED), atomic force microscopy (AFM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) measurements on both InAs and InGaAs quantum dots growth on (100) GaAs substrates.
