Abstract

Layers of InAs quantum dots grown on [100] GaAs substrates were characterised by photoluminescence and investigated by transmission electron microscopy. Two types of InAs islands were observed in these layers. The islands of the first type had mainly a form of big, elongated pyramids. Most of them were found to be dislocated. On the other hand, the islands of the second type were real self-assembled, coherent quantum dots giving rise to . a characteristic photoluminescence band. PACS numbers: 68.55.—a, 61.16.Bg
