GeSi quantum dots: the effect of alloying on the shape transformation

Alloying has been identified as an important mode of strain relief in quantum dot (QD) systems. We have performed both finite element analysis and atomistic simulations to understand the impact of alloying on the formation and shape change of GeSi QDs. A non-uniform composition profile of the alloy...
