title: Three-dimensional analysis of the guided-assembled growth of heteroepitaxial islands on imperfectly pre-patterned surfaces.
abstract: We simulate the guided-assembled heteroepitaxial growth of quantum dot arrays on an imperfectly pre-patterned substrate, revealing the existence of different growth regimes, such as defect tolerant regimes and defect sensitive and responsive regimes. These regimes can potentially be used to grow different designed surface patterns.
