ABSTRACTIn this study, we investigate the dependence of GaN surface morphology on the absolute strain values for thin (<10 μm) epitaxial films grown by MOCVD on c-plane sapphire substrates of various miscut angles towards the m-plane. Results indicate an excellent correlation between the surface roughness observed employing an AFM tool and epilayer strain values. An overall increase of surface roughness (decrease of atomic terrace width) is found with decreasing compressive strain (epilayer vs. bulk value). In addition, sapphire substrates with increasing miscut angle (0.30 deg) appear to relax the inherent, built-in strain differently in the vertical (growth) direction when compared to just (0.00 deg) substrates. Strain relaxation by typical V-shaped, hexagonal pits is directly imaged through the comparison of surface features inside and outside of pits in the thin GaN epilayer films.

AbstractWe have controlled the nanoscale growth mechanism and surface morphology of YBa2Cu3O7 (YBCO) based high-Tc thin films and heterostructures, using miscut SrTiO3 substrates. On exact (001) SrTiO3 substrates, the YBCO films grow in a screw dislocation growth mode. The barrier layers (La6.4Sr1.6Cu8O20 and PrBa2Cu3O7) grown on top of such a YBCO film also show spiral growth features, indicating pseudomorphic growth. On miscut substrates (with miscut angle ≥ 4° toward [010]) the YBCO films grow by step-flow. However, the La6.4Sr1. 6Cu8O20 layers grown on such YBCO bottom electrodes, show a high degree of step bunching with rough surface. In contrast, the PrBa2Cu3O7 layers show clear step-terrace surface morphology similar to the underlying YBCO bottom electrode, suggesting the existence of periodic nanoscale steps at the S-N interface. These heterostructures can be used for the fabrication of SNS Josephson junctions to take advantage of the proximity effect coupling at the nanoscale steps at the interface.

In this work, we investigate the influence of substrate temperature on the surface morphology for substrate coverage below one monolayer. The model of film growth is based on random deposition enriched by limited surface diffusion. Also, anisotropy in the growth is involved. We found from computer simulations for the simple cubic lattice and solid-on-solid model that the surface morphology changes with increasing temperature from isotropically distributed isolated small islands through anisotropic 1D stripes to larger 2D anisotropic islands and again randomly distributed single atoms. The transition is also marked in height–height correlation function dependence on temperature as directly seen by snapshots from simulations. The results are in good qualitative agreement with already published results of kinetic Monte Carlo simulations as well as with some experimental data.
