In0:45Ga0:55As=GaAs multistacking quantum dot (QD) structures were fabricated on a GaAs (n 1 1)B (n = 2-4) substrate by metalorganic vapor-phase epitaxy. QDs spontaneously aligned in the [0 1 1] direction were observed on stacked QDs, whereas QDs were randomly distributed in the initial In0:45Ga0:55

✦ Synopsis
Recent work has shown that site-controlled dots (QD) grown on (1 1 1)B GaAs substrates, pre-patterned with tetrahedral pyramidal recesses (Baier et al., 2006) [1], (Pelucchi et al., 2007) [2], (Zhu et al., 2007) [3] are suitable for the generation of single and entangled photons (Young et al., 2009) [4]. We recently introduced InGaAs/GaAs site controlled QD structures which demonstrated record breaking spectral purity, and we showed that increasing the indium concentration of the active region allows easy tunability of the emission wavelength (Mereni et al., 2009) [5,6]. We present here the first theoretical analysis of the emission energies and optical properties of this system as a function of QD height and In concentration. We model the dots using an 8 band k.p theory chosen to provide the best convergence and performance for structures oriented specifically along the (1 1 1) crystallographic direction.

We report a comparison of the plasma-assisted MBE growth of polar (0 0 0 1) and semipolar (1 1 À 2 2) -oriented InGaN/GaN quantum dots (QDs) grown simultaneously on GaN templates. The photoluminescence (PL) from semipolar QDs shows a systematical blueshift in comparison to the respective polar sampl
