Description

The GaN self-assembled quantum dots constitute a very special and intriguing type of semiconductor nanostructure, mainly because they carry in their structure a giant internal electric field that can reach a value up to 7 MV/cm. In this report, we review the most important structural and optical properties of GaN quantum dots, and we discuss their advantages and limitations for blue-UV optoelectronic applications.
