AbstractThe surface of Li-doped ZnSe grown on misoriented GaAs(001) substrates by molecular beam epitaxy is studied by means of reflection high energy electron diffraction. Sharp and curved streaky RHEED patterns are observed for all the layers grown on the misoriented substrate towards [110], irrespective of off-angles. No curved pattern, however, is observed on ZnSe layers grown on misoriented GaAs(001) towards [110] with off-angle larger than 5°. We confirmed that the Li-array is surely formed along [110], and that the length of the Li-array is longer than 32Å to be observable as curved streaks. It is also confirmed that the growth rate of Li-doped ZnSe is proportional to the step density, and that the growth rate on the misoriented substrate towards [110] is higher than that on the misoriented substrate towards [110]. The photoluminescence spectra of Li-doped ZnSe layers grown on misoriented GaAs are reported.

ABSTRACTInP and InAs (100) were grown by gas-source molecular-beam epitaxy (GSMBE) with arsine, phosphine, and elemental indium. Reflection high-energy-electron diffraction (RHEED) was used to monitor surface reconstructions and growth rates. (2×4) to (2×1) transition was observed on InP (100) as phosphine flow rate increased. (4×2) and (2×4) patterns were observed for In-stabilized and As-stabilized InAs surfaces, respectively. Both group-V and group-rn-induced RHEED oscillations were observed. The group-V surface desorption activation energy were measured to be 0.61 eV for InP and 0.19 eV for InAs. By this growth rate study, we are able to establish a precise control of V/HII atomic ratios in GSMBE of InP and InAs.
