THE MONITORING OF 2D-3D TRANSITION FOR InAs/GaAs (001) SELF-ASSEMBLED QUANTUM DOTS BY ATOMIC FORCE MICROSCOPY
Journal Title: Journal of Science And Arts - Year 2008, Vol 9, Issue 2
Abstract
We present a detailed Atomic Force Microscopy study of InAs/GaAs (001) selfassembled quantum dots grown by Molecular Beam Epitaxy during its complete evolution cycle (transition from 2D islands to 3D islands). We have performed a statistical analysis regarding quantum dot number density identifying the existence of two separated distributions (for quasi-3D dots and 3D dots). We have observed that the density number value of quasi-3D QDs decreases from 1.1 x 10 cm to 4.3 x 10 cm for a coverage between 1.57 ML and 1.61 ML, while for 3D QDs it increases by a factor of 10 (from 2.1 x 1010 cm-2 to 2.3 x 1010 cm-2) so as the 3D QDs become the prevailed structures. We can assume as critical coverage, 1.59 ML.

NONNEGATIVE SOLUTIONS IN TWO POINT BOUNDARY VALUE PROBLEMS
We consider the two point boundary value problem:-u”(x)=λf(u(x)); xЄ(-1,1), u(-1)=0=u(1), where f:[0,∞)->R is a twice differentiable function and λ>0 is a positive parameter. We discuss the cases when f(0)>0(pos...
MAGNETIC BEHAVIOUR OF Co IN YCo4-xCuxB COMPOUNDS
The RCo4B compounds, where R is a rare-earth or yttrium crystallize in a hexagonal structure of CeCo4B-type. In this lattice, the R atoms are located in 1a and 1b sites, Co in 2c and 6i sites and B in 2d positions. The m...
A NEW GENERALIZATION OF NESBITT’S INEQUALITY
This paper presents a retrospective of our refinements, extensions and generalizations of Nesbitt’s inequality. Also we present a new generalization for this remarkable inequality.
BASIC CONCEPTS ON MAGNETIZATION REVERSAL IN NANOSTRUCTURES: MAGNETIC FIELD AND TEMPERATURE INFLUENCE
In this lecture, we will address the problem of magnetization reversal in thin films and nanostructures. This topic is at the basis of most studies in the fields of magnetism and spintronics and is of particular relevanc...
BINARY OPERATIONS ASSOCIABLE WITH A GROUP OPERATION
Conditions under which two binary operations on a set M are associable (x○(y*z)=(x○y)*z, z,y,zєM) were given by J. Dhombres in the case when the operations are associative. We characterize the associability of two group...
