Abstract

Topographic cross-sectional scanning tunneling microscopy is used to study InGaAs quantum dots (QDs), showing dot sizes of approximately 20 nm, consistent with atomic force microscopy measurements on similar samples. Current-vs-voltage measurements on the quantum dots feature a lower tunneling current turn-on for the dots than the surrounding areas. Tunneling-induced luminescence images from the surrounding layers provide additional information about carrier behavior within the system.
