Influence of initial GaAs and AlAs cap layers on InAs quantum dots grown by molecular beam epitaxy

• Capping of InAs quantum dots (QDs) with AlAs or GaAs causes a significant change in the structural properties of the QDs. However, there is a basic difference between these two capping materials. The GaAs capping causes a dramatic reduction of the dot density and height. AlAs capping, on the other hand, results in a partly suppressed height reduction and a higher dot density.
