42. We have evaluated the influence of the built-in strain in InAs dots on the band gap following the treatments of strained layers reported in Ref..
43. The band-gap linear pressure coefficients were evaluated according to the nonlinear elasticity theory following Refs.. This treatment explains the lower value of the α coefficient for strained InAs relative to the unstrained bulk value. The model assumes a simple strain two-dimensional layer.
