Stress-Engineered Quantum Dots: Nature’s Way

  • Chapter
Nano-Optoelectronics

Part of the book series: NanoScience and Technology ((NANO))

Abstract

Serendipity and scientific endeavor have been comrades even before Horace Walpole coined the word in The Three Princes of Serendip, the Sanskrit-derived name for the modern-day island nation of Sri Lanka. It is no surprise then that what we today dub as self-assembled quantum dots, the dominant theme of this dedicatory volume, also originate in the chance discovery of the existence of coherent (i.e., defect-free) three-dimensional (3D) islands in strained semiconductor heteroepitaxy [1,2].
