  • Abstract
    The relaxation behavior in InGaAs heteroepitaxy during growth interrupts reveal that at a given dislocation density, the glide velocity can be increased orders of magnitude by the presence of the growth flux. These results are interpreted in terms of adatom enhanced nucleation of single kinks at the growth surface.
