摘要
We report on reversible phenomena in size-limited Stranski-Krastanow growth of strained InAs islands on GaAs(001) surface. Plan view and cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy and photoluminescence spectroscopy reveal that, with increasing the substrate temperature, the average volume of the island decreases, and the island density decreases as well, while the lateral size of the islands increases and islands strongly flatten. If, after the formation of islands, the substrate temperature is reduced, the average volume and the density of the islands increase, while the lateral size of the island shrinks. These observations confirm the equilibrium nature of the array of islands.
