## 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. Th

✦ Synopsis
Abstract
The cover picture refers to the Rapid Research Letter by Zhiming M. Wang et al. [1] and displays the nanostructure evolution during GaAs growth by droplet epitaxy. The two colored AFM images of 2 µm × 2 µm show the formation of GaAs nano‐crystals shaped like lighted candles and square‐holed round coins.
The first author, Zhiming M. Wang, is a research professor at the University of Arkansas, USA, and a member of the Molecular‐Beam Epitaxial group of Distinguished Professor Gregory J. Salamo. His current research interests include low‐dimensional semiconductor nanostructures, ferroelectronic and ferromagnetic nanostructures, and manipulation of single molecules.
This issue of physica status solidi (a) also contains contributions from the 4th International Conference “Porous Semiconductors – Science and Technology”, held 14–19 March 2004 in Cullera (Valencia), Spain. Further papers from PSST‐2004 are published in phys. stat. sol. (c) 2, No. 9 (2005).

## 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
