We report on the molecular beam epitaxy growth of InAs self-assembled quantum dots on (N 1 1)A/B GaAs substrates, where N ranges from 2 to 5. For each substrate we prepared three different InAs coverages (from ≈ 1.0 × 1015 to ≈ 1.5 × 1015 InAs molecules cm-2), with growth parameters optimised for self assembly on the (1 0 0) surface. At 2 K, all the samples show photoluminescence of evident quantum dot origin with an efficiency comparable to that of samples grown on (1 0 0)GaAs substrates. Photoluminescence spectra show inhomogeneously broadened, structured peaks in the 1.1-1.4 eV range. Full optical characterisation is reported. © 1998 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

Abstract
We report on the molecular beam epitaxy growth of InAs self-assembled quantum dots on (N 1 1)A/B GaAs substrates, where N ranges from 2 to 5. For each substrate we prepared three different InAs coverages (from ≈ 1.0 × 1015 to ≈ 1.5 × 1015 InAs molecules cm-2), with growth parameters optimised for self assembly on the (1 0 0) surface. At 2 K, all the samples show photoluminescence of evident quantum dot origin with an efficiency comparable to that of samples grown on (1 0 0)GaAs substrates. Photoluminescence spectra show inhomogeneously broadened, structured peaks in the 1.1-1.4 eV range. Full optical characterisation is reported. © 1998 Elsevier Science B.V.
