Gm. Guryanov et al., SELF-ORGANIZATION OF STRAINED QUANTUM-SIZE INXGA1-XAS STRUCTURES GROWN ON MISORIENTED (100)SURFACES OF GAAS DURING SUBMONOLAYER MOLECULAR-BEAM EPITAXY, Semiconductors, 29(9), 1995, pp. 854-857
Using the method of scanning tunneling microscopy, we have investigate
d the effect of misorientation of the (100) GaAs surface on the format
ion of quantum-size InxGa1-xAs structures during submonolayer molecula
r-beam epitaxy, An anisotropy in the distribution of these quantum-siz
e formations at the vicinal surface in a direction different from the
direction of misorientation of the substrate has been observed. These
results indicate that it is possible to create new types of quantum-si
ze formations (quantum wires and ordered arrays of quantum dots) direc
tly during submonolayer molecular-beam epitaxial growth. (C) 1995 Amer
