Description
SPRINGER Lateral Alignment Of Epitaxial Quantum Dots (Nanoscience And Technology) 2007 Edition by SCHMIDT OLIVER G. ET. AL
This book describes the full range of possible strategies for laterally aligning self-assembled quantum dots on a substrate surface, beginning with pure self-ordering mechanisms and culminating with forced alignment by lithographic positioning. The text addresses both short- and long-range ordering phenomena and introduces future high integration of single quantum dot devices on a single chip. Contributions by well-known experts ensure that all relevant quantum-dot heterostructures are elucidated from diverse perspectives.
