Influence of composition and substrate miscut on the evolution of {105}-terminated in-plane Si1−xGex quantum wires on Si(001)

Isolated in-plane wires on Si(001) are promising nanostructures for quantum transport applications. They can be fabricated in a catalyst-free process by thermal annealing of self-organized Si1−xGex hut clusters. Here, we report on the influence of composition and small substrate miscuts on the unila...
