Surface-acoustic-wave-defined dynamic quantum dots

The strain associated with a surface acoustic wave (SAW) propagating across a piezoelectric medium creates a travelling electric potential. Gallium Arsenide is such a piezoelectric material, and so SAWs can be used with existing semiconductor technologies for creating complex low-dimensional nanostr...
