Abstract
In this project, Dr. Ahmad Al Zeidan will optimize a new technique for growing submonolayer quantum dots (SMLQDs) of InAs. The novelty consists in depositing the SMLQDs in the presence of a (2x4) surface reconstruction in order to nucleate two-dimensional (2D) InAs islands of good quality that are the building of blocks SMLQDs. However, instead of lowering the sample temperature to 500 °C…
