Abstract

We have investigated InAsSb nanostructures formed on GaAs during MOCVD. The transition thickness from 2D growth to 3D growth is reduced by the addition of TMSb/Sb4. This is consistent with both an increase in the adatom diffusion length and a reduction in the epilayer/vapor surface energy attributed TMSb/Sb4.
