Sn has been used extensively as an n-type dopant in GaAs grown by molecular-beam epitaxy (MBE). The surface accumulation of Sn during the growth of Sn-doped GaAs has been observed by several investigators. It is still not clear whether the accumulation of Sn is a kinetically hindered process, as proposed first by Wood and Joyce, or surface segregation due to thermodynamic factors. The proposed donor-incorporation mechanisms were based on experimental results from such techniques as secondary ion mass spectrometry, Auger electron spectroscopy, and C-V measurements. In the present study, electron microscopy was used in combination with cross-section specimen preparation. The information on the morphology and microstructure of the surface accumulation can be obtained in a fine scale and may confirm several suggestions from indirect experimental evidence in the previous studies.

InGaN alloys with indium compositions ranging from 0–40% have been grown by molecular beam epitaxy. The dependence of the indium incorporation on growth temperature and group III/group V ratio has been studied. Scanning tunneling microscopy images, interpreted using first-principles theoretical computations, show that there is strong indium surface segregation on InGaN. Based on this surface segregation, a qualitative model is proposed to explain the observed indium incorporation dependence on the growth parameters.

AbstractUltrathin iron films grown on Cu(100) have been found to exhibit a rich variety of structural and magnetic phases. In the present work, Fe/Ni bilayers have been prepared by molecular beam epitaxy to explore novel magnetic phenomena introduced by the ferromagnetic (FM) Ni underlayer. Unusual properties have been observed by measuring the temperature dependent magnetic properties. For 5.3 ML Fe on 7 ML Ni, a temperature dependent exchange coupling in the Fe film has been observed between the FM surface layer and FM interface layer.
