摘要
We report here in situ measurements of stress evolution during molecular beam epitaxy growth of InAs/InP (001) quantum wires. The obtained results provide the necessary information to understand why quantum wires instead of quantum dots are formed in this heteroepitaxial system: a strong stress anisotropy along <110> directions is responsible for it. Moreover, during quantum wires growth As/P exchange reactions take place, which determine the total amount of InAs incorporated in the nanostructures and then their optical properties. In situ stress measurements have also been used to study the exchange process and they have allowed us to calculate the quantity of InAs that enters into the lattice because of it.
