critical points of InSb islands buried in InP disappears for nominal InSb thicknesses lower than 10 monolayers as a consequence of the strain produced inside the islands by the cap layer. Certainly, this strain increases as the InSb deposition diminishes, changing the band lineup of the system from type-I to type-II and therefore drastically reducing the oscillator strengths of the island-related
