  • Abstract
    By considering a theoretical computation model, the strain field and elastic stored energy due to an interfacial misfit dislocation network near the free surface have been calculated analytically. The result predicted the preferential nucleation sites of self-assembled quantum dots with the influence of interfacial dislocation network. Compared with Green function method, our solution is simple, direct and can solve the problem completely.
