Abstract

Recent theoretical developments on growth aspects of quantum dots, which appear during highly mismatched semiconductor epitaxy, include size distribution and lateral and vertical self organization. The stable shape of coherent islands has also recently been investigated, especially regarding the role of surface tension. Strain fields, have proved to play a very important role in these systems, and different ways of modelling the inhomogeneous strain distribution have been used successfully.
