Abstract
In mismatched heteroepitaxy, the two main leading parameters are strai n relaxation and surface tension. We emphasize the role of surfaces in two cases: nucleation of self assembled quantum dots in highly mismat ched heteroepitaxy and strain distribution in a strained quantum well deposited on the cleaved edge of a strained superlattice.
