A level set simulation for ordering of quantum dots via cleaved-edge overgrowth

Anna Fontcuberta i Morral, Emanuele Uccelli

Cleaved-edge overgrowth (CEO) is a promising technique to obtain ordered arrays of quantum dots, where the size and position of the dots can be controlled very well. We present level set simulations for CEO. Our simulations illustrate how the quality of th ...
