15. The calculated facet is slightly (about 2 to (formula presented) steeper than the ideal bulk-truncated facet owing to substrate-parallel compressive strain and substrate-normal tensile strain in a strain-induced dislocation-free dot.

17. After the submission of the present paper, we noticed that a paper had been published [D W. Pashley, J H. Neave, and B A. Joyce, Surf. Sci.476, 35 (2001)] on the same subject which draws identical conclusions, but based on a somewhat different approach.
