Abstract
We report on Ga nano‐droplets on GaAs(100) that are not stable under arsenic flux. Spontaneous evolution in shape leads to many interesting GaAs nanostructures. GaAs nano‐crystals shaped like lighted candles and square‐holed round coins are observed under different growth conditions. The underlying physics of the formation of these interesting nano‐structures can be understood in terms of GaAs growth under a uniform arsenic flux and a non‐uniform Ga supply from the Ga nano‐droplets. These novel shaped GaAs nanostructures, in an AlGaAs matrix, offer promising applications in optoelectronics. (© 2005 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)

## Abstract We report on the fabrication self‐assembled tandem (pyramidal‐ holed) InGaAs nanostructures on GaAs (311)A in comparison with the nanostructures on (100) surface. Under an identical growth condition, the fabricated nanostructures are characteristically dissimilar; ring‐shaped nanostruct
The fabrication of submicrometer GaAs islands directly on Si substrates by droplet epitaxy is presented. Islands parameters, like density and size, are fully controlled through growth temperature and Ga coverage. The process is fully scalable and at low thermal budget, making these islands good cand
We present the molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) fabrication of GaAs ring/disk nanostructures. In this system, a central quantum ring is surrounded by a flat outer disk-like region, which is developed following a layer-by-layer growth mode. We studied the influence of the growth temperature on the morpho
