Popis: The structural properties of InP islands grown by molecular beam epitaxy on SrTiO 3 substrates are studied. The evolution of the semiconducting islands size and density with growth temperature is described. The structural results reveal an original behavior: the islands orientation with respect to the substrate can be tuned with growth temperature. Moreover; X-ray diffraction results show that the islands are fully relaxed, which is in accordance with the specificities of the semiconductor/oxide interface. The structural transition is observed by atomic force microscopy, X-ray diffraction and electron diffraction.
