Self-assembled InAs quantum dots (QDs) on GaAs are potential building blocks for quantum technology applications. One interesting aspect is the spatial arrangement of the QDs.
In this contribution, we investigated the spatial distribution of QDs for samples with different QD densities by analyzing atomic force microscopy images. We evaluated Voronoi cell areas and nearest neighbor configurations. Contrary to the expected random distribution for Stranski-Krastanow-grown QDs, we observe deviations indicating an influence of strain fields and a corresponding effect on inter-island adatom diffusion on the final QD arrangement. We discuss the behavior for different densities in detail.
