ABSTRACTHigh-resolution X-ray diffraction (HRXRD) studies have been cardied out to determine the structural perfection and periodicity for a number of high-quality InGaAsfInP superlattices grown by gas source molecular beam epitaxy. X-ray scans were carried out with a compact four-crystal monochromator resulting in a resolution of one molecular layer (∼3,Å), which enables one to observe very small variations in the periodic structure. Sharp and strong higher-order satellite reflections in the XRD profiles were observed indicating smooth interfaces with well-defined modulated structures. Excellent computer simulated fits of the X-ray satellite pattern could be generated based on a kinematical XRD step model which assumes ideally sharp interfaces, and periodic structural parameters such as the strain in the well could be extracted. Our results3 demonstrate that HRXRD in conjunction with the kinematical step model is a very sensitive method to assess periodic structural modifications in superlattices as a result of the precise growth conditions in the gas source MBE system.

ABSTRACTMolecular beam epitaxy was used to grow EuTe(x)/PbTe(y) short period superlattices with x=1-4 EuTe(111) monolayers alternating with y≈3x PbTe monolayers. The superlattices were characterized by transmission electron microscopy and high resolution x-ray diffraction. Regions with double periodicity were observed coexisting with areas of nominal periodicity. The sample with x=3.5 and y=9, for example, contains regions with double periodicity of x=7 and y=17. X-ray diffraction measurements confirm the formation of the double periodicity in these samples by the appearance of weak satellites in between the satellites of the nominal periodicity. The double periodicity in the superlattice is believed to result from interdiffusion during the growth. A model for this process is presented.

AbstractCaF2 layers were grown by molecular beam epitaxy on differently prepared Si(111) substrates. X-ray reflectivity spectra were measured and fitted. From the fitting process, the thickness of the CaF2 layer was precisely (within 1 Å) determined and the CaF2/Si interface roughness was also obtained. This roughness was used as an evaluation parameter for the quality of the layers. The CaF2/Si sample from which the intentional oxide was desorpted at 800°C inside the growth chamber exhibited the most clear x-ray reflectivity spectrum with very well resolved interference fringes. The epitaxial relations of the CaF2/Si samples grown at temperatures between 250 and 700°C were determined from x-ray diffraction analysis.
