Optically excited low dimensional semiconductor heterostructures have shown strong evidence for lattice distortions triggered by exciton-phonon interactions. This effect was observed for the III-V group systems InAs/GaAs and InN/GaN by means of high resolution continuous wave or non-linear time-resolved optical spectroscopy. A local change in the lattice constant due to the creation of electron-hole pairs was as well monitored for II-VI quantum structures.

We have investigated the laser-induced lattice distortions in InAs/GaAs quantum dots and CdSe/CdS core/shell quantum rods by means of anomalous x-ray single crystal diffraction and x-ray powder diffraction, respectively. The presented data were collected at the beamlines BL9 (DELTA, TU Dortmund) and P08 (HASYLAB, DESY Hamburg).
