the first time by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) in the Stranski–
Krastanow (S–K) growth mode. Evidence of the growth of the self-assembled quantum dots
was provided using transmission electron microscopy. This study shows that the GaSb/GaAs
heterostructure is well controlled and there is no sign of the intermixing that often occurs for
this system. The existence of the quantum dots and of a wetting layer was also supported by …
