AbstractWe study the coarsening of two-dimensional crystalline islands on the (001) face of GaAs, InAs and GaSb after deposition at typical growth conditions in molecular beam epitaxy. The time-resolved island/pit size distributions are measured in situ using synchrotron X-ray diffraction and are analyzed together with the diffraction intensity oscillations during deposition. Whereas the deposition kinetics is similar for the three materials, they strongly differ in the coarsening. During coarsening, the mean correlation length grows proportional to

ABSTRACTAn investigation of the growth mechanism for RF-plasma assisted molecular beam epitaxy of cubic GaN films using a nitrided AlGaAs buffer layer was carried out by in-situ reflection high energy electron diffraction (RHEED) and high resolution X-ray diffraction (HRXRD). It was found that hexagonal GaN nuclei grow on (1, 1, 1) facets during nitridation of the AlGaAs buffer layer, but a highly pure, cubic-phase GaN epilayer was grown on the nitrided AlGaAs buffer layer.

High temperature superconducting multilayers have been obtained depositing Bi2Sr2CuO6+δ(2201) and ACuO2 layers, where A is Ca or Sr, by Molecular Beam Epitaxy (MBE) on MgO and SrTiO3 substrates. The samples, formed by a sequence of 2201/ACuO2 bilayers, have different thickness of ACuO2 layers while the thickness of the 2201 layers is kept constant. The surface structure of each layer has been monitored by in situ Reflection High Energy Electron Diffraction (RHEED) analysis which has confirmed a 2D nucleation growth. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis has been used to confirm that the layered structure has been obtained. Moreover, one-dimensional X-ray kinematic diffraction model has been developed to interpret the experimental data and to estimate the period of the multilayers. Resistive measurements have shown that the electrical properties of the samples strongly depend on the thickness of the ACuO2 layers.

Control of nanostructure growth is a prerequisite for the development of electronic and optoelectronic devices. This paper reports the growth conditions and structural properties of ZnMgO nanowalls grown on the Si face of 4H-SiC substrates by molecular beam epitaxy without catalysts and buffer layers. Images from scanning electron microscopy revealed that the ZnMgO nanowalls are arranged in parallel rows following the stripe morphology of the SiC surface, and their thickness is around 15 nm. The crystal quality of the structures was evaluated by X-ray diffraction measurements.

ABSTRACTGdN/SmN based superlattices have been grown by molecular beam epitaxy. In-situ reflection high energy electron diffraction was used to evaluate the evolution of the epitaxial growth and the structural properties were assessed by ex-situ X-ray diffraction. Hall Effect and resistivity measurements as a function of the temperature establish that the superlattices are heavily n-type doped semiconductors and the electrical conduction resides in both REN layers, SmN and GdN.

AbstractWe have studied infrared photoluminescence (PL) and x-ray diffraction (XRD) of 400 nm and 1500 nm thick InAs epilayers on GaAs, and 4 nm thick InAs on graded InGaAs layer with total thickness of 300 nm grown by molecular beam epitaxy. The PL peak positions of 400 nm, 1500 nm and 4 nm InAs epilayer measured at 10 K are blue-shifted from that of InAs bulk by 6.5, 4.5, and 6 meV, respectively, which can be largely explained by the residual strain in the epilayer. The residual strain caused by the lattice mismatch between InAs and GaAs or graded InGaAs/GaAs was observed from XRD measurements. While the PL peak position of 400 nm thick InAs layer is linearly shifted toward higher energy with increase in excitation intensity ranging from 10 to 140 mW, those of 4 nm InAs epilayer on InGaAs and 1500 nm InAs layer on GaAs is gradually blue-shifted and then, saturated above a power of 75 mW. These results suggest that adopting a graded InGaAs layer between InAs and GaAs can efficiently reduce the strain due to lattice mismatch in the structure of InAs/GaAs.

ABSTRACTWe report on the new epitaxial system LaF3/Er/Dy/Er/LaF3/GaAs (111) grown by molecular beam epitaxy. X-ray diffraction studies have been used to determine the epitaxial relationships between the rare earths, the LaF3 and the substrate. Further studies of symmetric and asymmetric reflections yielded the in-plane and perpendicular strain components of the rare earth layers. Such systems may be used to probe the effects of magnetoelastic interactions and dimensionality on magnetic ordering in rare earth metal films and multilayers.
