InAs self-assembled quantum dots grown on GaAs(001) substrate vr ere invest
igated by TEM as well as by electrical transport measurements. The TEM anal
ysis revealed the presence of a complicated triple-layer structure instead
of simple dots far high In-concentrations. The electrical measurement sugge
st that the dots act as controllable scattering centers. A saturation of th
e mobility is observed for the highest dot density samples. (C) 1998 Elsevi
