摘要: Using cross-sectional STM we have studied the local composition in III/V nanostructures such as GaAs/InGaAs quantum wells, InGaNAs/InP wells and dots, InAs/GaAs self-assembled dots. We are able to determine by either simply counting constituent atoms, measuring lattice constant or relaxation of cleaved surface due elastic field buried strained nanostructures.
