v. 5

Written primarily from an experimental point of view, this book is devoted to the growth and characterization of epitaxial semiconductor nanostructures, with emphasis on the following approaches: strain-driven self-organization, droplet epitaxy, high index surfaces, and lithographic or template-based patterning. A rich spectrum in the morphological evolution of multiple dimensional nanostructures will be addressed, including quantum dots, quantum dot arrays, quantum dot molecules, quantum rings, and quantum wires. Epitaxial Semiconductor Nanostructures will be an indispensable resource for a broad readership, from the beginning graduate student interested in semiconductor nanostructures to the senior scientist in academia and industry.
