Size-dependent Electronic and Polarization Properties of Multi-Layer InAs Quantum Dot Molecules - Quantum Dot Molecules - page 157

Fig. 5.3 Plots of local band edges for the highest two valence bands (HH and LH) through the
center of the QD layers along the [001] direction for the SQD, QDM-1, QDM-2, QDM-3, and
QDM-4. The reduction in the magnitude of the biaxial strain results in the enhanced HH/LH
intermixing (lesser separation) as the size of the QDM increases
