The sizes and concentrations of capped and surface InGaAs/GaAs quantum dots (QDs) grown under the same conditions have been investigated. Comparisons obtained with transmission electron microscopy and scanning probe microscopy imaging show a significant enlargement in the sizes of surface QDs compared with capped QDs. This discrepancy in dot dimensions increases with decreasing island surface densities and can be partially explained by thermal adatom condensation during sample cooling. These findings suggest a technique to estimate adatom concentrations and their migration lengths in strained heteroepitaxy. (C) 2000 American Institute of Physics. [S0003-6951(00)03312-X].
