Engineering the surface energy, interface energy, and elastic strain energy in the system via Sb exposure is used to realize the control on the morphology and optical properties of self-assembled InP-based InAsSb/InGaAs nanostructures. By flowing trimethylantimony precursor over the surface of InGaAs buffer layer before the growth of InAsSb nanostructures, the surface/interface energy in the system is reduced, while the strain energy in the system is enhanced, which lead to a shape transition from dot to dash, and to wire for the InAsSb nanostructures. As a result of their morphology changes, the InAsSb nanostructures show different polarization characteristics in their photoluminescence emission.
