The strain-mediated evolution of epitaxial ZnTe/ZnSe quantum structures is studied at the atomic scale using spherical aberration-corrected scanning transmission electron microscopy; coupled with electronic properties characterized by photoluminescence spectroscopy. The growth development of these buried quantum dots clearly demonstrates a homogeneous profile with similar pyramidal geometry rather than bi-modal distribution; contradicting prior reports on ZnTe/ZnSe quantum dots. The result is consistent with atomistic theoretical calculations on strain distribution and electronic structure of a modeled quantum dot of similar geometry using a valence force field model. It is also found that the transition from 2-D islands to 3-D quantum dots involves thermally activated carrier transfer process and follows up with formation of extended defects at the quantum dot surface; acting as an effective source for remnant misfit strain relaxation. The new physical understanding concerning the growth of self-assembled ZnTe/ZnSe quantum dots embedded in the active regions provides important information for the measures to control the properties of buried ZnTe quantum dots; setting up a key footstep in developing novel materials of energy conversion. © 2012 American Institute of Physics;
