摘要
GaAs-based heterostructures with one, two, or three InAs quantum-dot layers are examined by high-resolution x-ray diffraction. The quality and structure of the specimens are characterized from rocking curves. In the case of three quantum-dot layers, two different superlattices alternating in the lateral direction are discovered in the specimen. The superlattices differ in the InAs content of the GaAs matrix. It is shown that the existence of two superlattices is due to the vertical correlated growth of quantum dots and is related to an InAs wetting layer.
