摘要: Abstract By studying the optical properties of highly strained InAs/GaAs multilayers as a function deposited quantity InAs, high resolution probing change from two-dimensional to three-dimensionnal morphology InAs layers has been performed. We show that critical thickness for onset three-dimensional growth is very well defined given conditions. The nucleation islands is, however, asynchronous, due spatial fluctuations InAs. A fast initial leads within few seconds quasi-equilibrium Asynchronous and combined are shown be major origin size quantum boxes in GaAs obtained by self-organized under standard molecular beam epitaxy (MBE)
