18. Chemical etching or oxidation by the air might cause the blue shift of PL energy of remaining surface GaAs, which causes different peak energies in two spectra.
19. The nominal size of the QD in sample B is larger than in sample A. The thinner actual size of sample B is caused by the different ratio of patterned/nonpatterned regions which affects the mass transport during growth.
