9. TEM structural studies of the present sample indicate that the dots have an approximate square shape. In addition, we note that the zero-field optical properties (see Ref. 5, which have been shown to have a square, pyramidal shape. See, for example, M. Grundmann, Adv. Solid State Phys. 35, 123 (1996).
