Abstract:
Introduction:
A laterally strain modulated nanostructure containing an InGaAs-single quantum well is overgrown with GaAs or compressively strained InGaP. The second epitaxy leads to an inhomogeneous composition distribution within the filled-in material which is studied by scanning and transmission electron microscopy and grazing incidence X-ray diffraction. The different behaviour of the photoluminescence spectra obtained from the samples overgrown with GaAs or InGaP can be understood using the structural and strain results.
