Lateral variations in self-assembled InGaAs quantum dot distributions

June 26, 2009
Author(s)
Alexana Roshko, Todd E. Harvey, Brittany L. Hyland, Lehman Y. Susan, Keith D. Cobry
The lateral uniformity of self-assembled InGaAs quantum dots grown by molecular beam epitaxy(MBE) was assessed as a function of growth conditions. Variations in the dot density and height were determined from atomic force micrographs. Growth rate had a

Thermometry Issues in Destruction Kinetics Measurements

June 26, 2009
Author(s)
Dean C. Ripple
Of all the aspects of destruction kinetics measurement, the one taken most for granted is temperature measurement. The ubiquity of digital thermometers and their ease of use have disguised potential accuracy issues in the range of temperature encountered
