Natural patterning of templates on GaAs by formation of cracks

Substrate pre-patterning is an effective way to overcome large lattice mismatch and suppress threading defects in the growth of heterostructures. In this work, a new concept was proposed to form natural patterns on commercial substrates monolithically by the formation of surface cracks. Tensile stra...
