Abstract
Extremely complex semiconductor quantum ring structures, as single ring, multiple concentric quantum rings and coupled ring/disk structures, can be easily designed and grown by Droplet Epitaxy. In this paper, the fabrication and the characterization of such quantum ring complexes is reviewed. Electronic structure, single photon emission, carrier dynamics and magnetic properties in ring structures will be discussed.
