Abstract

Stress relaxation during growth of lattice-mismatched III-V compounds can induce the formation of nanostructures. For interfaces where group-V changes, the formation of either quantum wires or quantum dots has been associated with group-V element exchange process [1]. We demonstrate the importance of the stress anisotropy of the surface structure for the formation of quantum dots or wires.
