Design of Nanostructure Complexes by Droplet Epitaxy

We demonstrate a number of unseen self-assembled nanostructure complexes fabricated on various GaAs surface indexes by droplet epitaxy. Even under identical growth conditions, the configuration of nanostructure complexes is distinctive on each surface. The morphology evolution of nanostructure complexes is kinetically and energetically analyzed in determining the correlation between shape of nanostructure complexes and atomic surface matrixes with atomic ball−stick models. By systematically varying growth environment, we report many uncanny nanostructure complexes on given surface indexes.
