Abstract:
Si-Ge heteroepitaxy has been an essential model system for growth of self-assembled nanostructures by the Stranski-Krastanow mode. A striking feature of these structures is their highly facetted shape [1] that is governed by the formation of energetically favored facets. Evidently, the different shapes depend not only depend on the Ge coverage and growth condition, but also on the substrate orientation. Therefore, local prepattering as well as control of substrate orientation provides a means for tuning the shapes as well as lateral positions of such nanostructures [2-6].
