We present experimental data on InAs epitaxial layers grown on (N11)GaAs substrates showing that the substrate orientation affects the critical thickness for the onset of quantum dot self-assembling. The samples under investigation were characterised via photoluminescence measurements. We observed a decrease of self-assembling critical coverage with increasing Miller index N of the substrate. The observed behaviour is induced in-island strain relaxation inhibition caused by the use of high index substrates for the growth. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science S.A. All rights reserved.
