Abstract
Self-assembled In 0.4Ga 0.6As island arrays have been grown on (3 1 1)B GaAs substrates by using atomic hydrogen-assisted molecular beam epitaxy (H-MBE). The evolution process of surface morphology with deposition has been analyzed by atomic force microscopy (AFM) and the development of lateral ordering has been highlighted by two-dimensional fast Fourier transformation (2DFFT) analysis of the AFM images. It is revealed that the InGaAs islands are arranged in nearly perfect two-dimensional (2D) square-like lattice with two sides parallel to [0 1 −1] and [−2 3 3] azimuths. Such an alignment of islands is coincident with the anisotropy of bulk elastic modulus of the GaAs (3 1 1)B substrate.
