Using high-resolution X-ray diffraction (HRXRD), we have investigated lateral ordering the nanoislands formed from Ge wetting layer of various thicknesses deposited on a strained Si₁₋xGex sublayer. We observed that the high lateral ordering degree is initiated by ordered modulation of non-uniform...
