Abstract
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.
