Abstract
We report the systematic investigation of ripening of CdSe self-assemb led quantum dots (QDs) on ZnSe. We investigate the size and density of the QDs as a function of time after deposition of CdSe has stopped. T he dynamics of the ripening process is interpreted in terms of the the ory of Ostwald ripening. Furthermore, the experimental results allow u s to identify the growth mode of the QD formation process. [S0031-9007 (98)07378-5].
