Abstract
An array of elongated quantum dots (quantum dashes) can self polarize into an antiferroelectric state. In contrast to the conventional antif erroelectricity, this spontaneous polarization does not require any io nic displacements for its establishment. We present the main arguments and proofs of this phenomenon, and discuss possible scenarios for exp erimental verification. (C) 1998 Academic Press Limited.
