Abstract
Several samples with InxGa1-xAs quantum dots have been grown by molecu lar beam epitaxy using the self-organization method. The substrate tem perature was varied from sample to sample and atomic-force-microscopy measurements were carried out to investigate the influence of this par ameter on the morphological characteristics of the dots. We observed t hat, under certain conditions related to the initial cleaning process, the nanostructures could be confined within some regions of the sampl e. 1998 Published by Elsevier Science B.V.
