These two parameters indicate that the growth on specific orientations is a plus when compared to growth on (0001) polar substrates. We will show that, unfortunately, one cannot simultaneously minimize the stored elastic energy and cancel the Quantum Confined Stark Effect, but it is possible to significantly reduce both of them.
