摘要
The deposition of lattice mismatched InAs on (0 0 1)InP by gas source molecular beam epitaxy leads to the formation of quantum sires in contrast to the familiar dot formation in the InAs/GaAs system. The paper describes two processes: (i) the formation of a two-dimensional, alloyed layer InAsyP1-y in a pre-deposition phase and (ii) the strain relaxation process into wire-like structures, when depositing InAs on top. The quantum wires have been investigated using atomic force microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and transport anisotropy measurements. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
