摘要
Thin layers of InSb, GaSb and AlSb were grown on GcAs(001) by molecular beam epitaxy and characterized in situ with scanning tunneling microscopy. AII three materials exhibit a Stranski-Krastanov growth mode. Distinct wetting layers and self-assembled quantum dots are present after deposition of one to four monolayers of (In,Ga,Al)Sb. The wetting layers consist of anisotropic, ribbon-like structures oriented along the [101] direction. with characteristic separations of 40-50 Angstrom. The initial GaAs surface reconstruction affects both the wetting layer structure and the quantum dot density.
