Abstract:
The tuning of lateral and vertical correlations in self-organized PbSe/Pb 1-xEu xTe quantum dot superlattices by changes in the spacer thicknesses is demonstrated and shown to be due to finite size effects in the dot-dot interactions. As a consequence, different dot arrangements such as vertically aligned dot columns or fcc stacking are obtained for a single material system without changes in growth conditions. The different dot superstructures are shown to exhibit a different scaling behavior of the lateral versus vertical dot separation, as well as a different evolution of dot sizes and shapes.

As Δν decreases and the signals move closer, the doublets appear increasingly distorted. The intensities of the inner lines increase at the cost of those of the outer lines as the signals are slanted or...

¹H NMR: Long-Range Coupling
In alkenes, spin information is communicated via σ–π overlap, as seen in allylic (four-bond) and homoallylic (five-bond) couplings. These coupling interactions are stronger when the σ bond is parallel to the alkene π orbitals.
