12. QDs on SL3 are to small to be resolved in this particular AFM picture shown here but were observed on the same sample by AFM with better resolution (not shown here).
13. The formation of such triangular shaped islands is well known for growth of GaAs heterostructures on (1 1 0) GaAs surfaces, see e.g.; J. Oh, M. Yoshita, H. Akiyama, L.N. Pfeiffer, and K. West Appl. Phys. Lett. 82 2003 1709
14. These effects are known for example for InAs QD growth on (0 0 1)-oriented AlGaAs, see also Ref. [1].
