A concept for the fabrication of highly symmetric quantum dots that are coherently
embedded in a single crystalline matrix is demonstrated. In this approach, the formation of …

Epitaxial quantum dots with symmetric and highly facetted shapes are fabricated by thermal
annealing of two-dimensional (2D) PbTe epilayers embedded in a CdTe matrix. By varying …

Recently, intense room-temperature midinfrared luminescent emission has been observed
in high-symmetry PbTe quantum dots (QDs) embedded in a (001)-oriented CdTe single …

We present the temperature dependence of continuous-wave midinfrared
photoluminescence of PbTe quantum dots in a CdTe matrix. The quantum dots are formed …

Multilayer PbTe quantum dots (QDs) and SiO2 were grown by pulsed laser deposition (PLD)
and Plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) techniques. The crystalline …

The thermal stability of faceted self-assembled PbSe quantum dots during annealing is
investigated. With increasing annealing time, the dot density is found to decrease rapidly …

Heteroepitaxial growth of− 5.5% lattice-mismatched PbSe on PbTe (111) is studied using in
situ reflection high-energy electron diffraction and atomic force microscopy. It is shown that …

We report investigations on the optical properties of type-II Cd Te∕ Cd Se core-shell
quantum dots. By varying the core size, we provide an elegant way to verify that the detected …

Midinfrared electroluminescence of epitaxial PbTe quantum dots in CdTe with emission in
the 2–3 μ m wavelength range is demonstrated up to room temperature. The light-emitting …

This paper describes molecular beam epitaxial growth and photoluminescence (PL)
properties of PbTe quantum wells (QWs) and quantum dots (QDs) in CdTe matrix. Cross …
