AbstractWe have used cross-sectional scanning tunneling microscopy to study the atomic-scale interface structure of InAs/Ga, _In.xSb superlattices grown by molecular-beam epitaxy. Detailed, quantitative analysis of interface profiles obtained from constant-current images of both (110) and (1ī0) cross-sectional planes of the superlattice indicates that interfaces in the (1ī0) plane exhibit a higher degree of interface roughness than those in the (110) plane, and that the Ga1-xln xAs interfaces are rougher than the InAs-on-Gal1-xInxSb interfaces. The roughness data are consistent with anisotropy in interface structure arising from anisotropic island formation during growth, and in addition with a growth-sequence-dependent interface asymmetry resulting from differences in interfacial bond structure between the superlattice layers. Roughness data are compared with measurements of anisotropy in low-temperature Hall mobilities of the samples.

ABSTRACTThe interface structure of a-Si:H films deposited by glow discharge decomposition of Si2H6 on SnO2 was characterized on an atomic scale with the use of in situ XPS. The method analyzes the variation of the intensity of photoelectron emission originating from the bottom SnO2 layer and transmitting through the upper a-Si:H layers of various thicknesses. It was evaluated that a-Si:H was partially oxidized as it grew to a thickness of about 15 A, while the SnO2 bottom layer was reduced to metallic Sn and SnOx (0 < x < 2) states as deep as 2 A and 12 A from the interface, respectively,

ABSTRACTMost of the work done on GaN has taken into account layers grown on the (0001) sapphire. However one would expect the growth on (1120) to lead to different structural defects. As has been shown, in one direction, the mismatch is rather small. In this work, we have carried out structural analysis of layers and interfacial relationship. Inside the layers, the density of defects is comparable to that found conventionally in layers grown on top of (0001) sapphire. The growth mode is also mosaic with a grain size of a few microns. One interesting result is the interface structure, which differs from conventional growth where a flat or stepped interface is formed with a large distance between steps. In this case, the interface is found to be rough at the atomic scale so that this roughness has a random distribution. Moreover, the misfit dislocation spacing is 1nm which is only half the dislocation spacing found in GaN growth on (0001) sapphire.
