ABSTRACTGaAs1−xNx layers and quantum dot-like structures were grown on (100) GaAs substrates by molecular beam epitaxy. The dependence of photoluminescence emission spectra on annealing temperature is consistent with literature at lower temperatures but after annealing at 750 °C a net red-shift is consistently observed. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy measurements indicate that for different annealing times and temperatures, the nitrogen and arsenic surface concentrations changed compared to that of as-grown samples, specifically arsenic is lost from the material. Raman measurements are consistent with the trends in photoluminescence and also suggest the loss of arsenic occurs at higher annealing temperatures in both samples capped with GaAs and uncapped samples.

Unintentionally doped GaSb films grown by Molecular Beam Epitaxy (MBE) on GaAs (001) substrates were annealed under different temperatures and time. It was found that the rapid thermal annealing (RTA) process can improve the optical properties. By changing annealing temperature and time, the optimized annealing temperature and times are found to be 650°C and 30s, respectively. Point defects and dislocations are two major kinds of defect in undoped GaSb thin films grown by MBE on GaAs (001) substrates.

AbstractThe Hall effect and photoluminescence measurements combined with annealing and/or ion milling were used to study the electrical and optical properties of HgCdTe films grown by molecular-beam epitaxy on GaAs substrates with ZnTe and CdTe buffer layers. Unintentional donor doping, likely from the substrate, which resulted in residual donor concentration of the order of 1015 cm−3, was observed in the films. Also, acceptor states, possibly related to structural defects, were observed.

AbstractThe uniformity and reproducibility of the CdTe QD arrays on the GaAs substrates can be improved by using a nanoporous mask. The CdTe QDs on the GaAs substrate were grown by a molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) method. The nanoporous alumina masks used for the fabrication of QD arrays have the thickness from 0.3 νm to 5 νm with the nanochannels of ∼ 80 nm diameter and the pore density of ∼ 1010cm−2. When the thickness of the alumina mask used for the CdTe QD growth was about 300 nm, the CdTe QD arrays formed as a replica of the nanochannels of the mask. Smaller self-assembled CdTe QDs located randomly were produced by using the thicker nanochannel mask than 0.5 νm. The thickness of the nanochannel mask controls the size of the CdTe/GaAs QDs.

AbstractDysprosium oxide (Dy2O3) films are grown epitaxially on high mobility Ge(100) substrates by molecular beam epitaxy system. Reflection high energy electron diffraction patterns and X-ray diffraction spectra show that single crystalline cubic Dy2O3 films are formed on Ge(100) substrates. The epitaxial-relationship is identified as Dy2O3 (110)║Ge(100) and Dy2O3 [001]║Ge[011]. Atomic force microscopy results show that the surface of the Dy2O3 film is uniform, flat and smooth with root mean square surface roughness of about 4.6Å. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy including depth profiles confirms the composition of the films being close to Dy2O3. TEM measurements reveal a sharp, crystalline interface between the oxide and Ge.

Zn1-xCoxO thin films on sapphire (0001) substrates were synthesized by laser molecular beam epitaxy (LMBE) method at various temperatures under a work ambient pressure of 5.0 x 10-5Pa condition. X-ray diffraction (XRD) spectra, UV–visible transmission spectra and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), photoluminescence (PL) spectra were employed to characterize the properties of samples. All samples were of wurtzite hexagonal structure with the preferential c-axis-orientation. Co2+ions incorporated into ZnO lattice and substituted for Zn2+ions. ZnLMM Auger spectrum implied Zn interstitials existed in sample. The optical transmission of all samples was relatively high in visible region. Two PL emission peaks located at 418 nm and 490 nm were assigned to the electron transition from the Zn interstitials to the top of the valence band and from the Zn interstitials to the Zn vacancies, respectively.
