摘要: Abstract InAs quantum dots (QDs) were grown by molecular beam epitaxy on GaAs ( 1 ¯ 4 ) B surfaces and studied in situ scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). Atomically resolved STM images, obtained for the QDs of different size, reveal that exhibit shapes at stages evolution. First, small islands develop composed mainly flat { 3 5 } 2 facets. Next, steeper 11 A facets form Then a remarkable shape transition occurs with aspect ratio increasing from 0.10 to 0.20. The grow height now stacking layers so new, steep 0 appear side top shrink finally vanish. mature QD is terminated five besides base. Further growth results an elongation along symmetry direction.
