AbstractThe in situ epitaxial growth of Bi‐Sr‐Ca‐Cu‐O films by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) is reported. The suitability of ozone to the MBE growth of cuprate superconductors is discussed. Molecular beams of the constituents were periodically shuttered to grow various Bi2Sr2Can‐1CunOx phases, including 2201, 2212,2223,2245, and layered mixtures of these phases. Using these techniques a superconducting film with TConset near 100 K and Tc (ρ=0) of 81 K was achieved under entirely MBE conditions (Pchamber≤xl0‐4 Torr during growth and cooling). The films are smooth on an atomic scale. The results demonstrate the ability of shuttered MBE growth to selectively grow Bi2Sr2Can‐1CunOx phases.

AbstractWe have performed a detailed investigation of the molecular beam epitaxial (MBE) growth and characterization of InN nanowires spontaneously formed on Si(111) substrates under nitrogen rich conditions. Controlled epitaxial growth of InN nanowires (NWs) has been demonstrated by using an in situ deposited thin (˜ 0.5 nm) In seeding layer prior to the initiation of growth. By applying this technique, we have achieved non-tapered epitaxial InN NWs that are relatively free of dislocations and stacking faults. Such InN NW ensembles display strong photoluminescence (PL) at room temperature and considerably reduced spectral broadening, with very narrow spectral linewidths of 22 and 40 meV at 77 K and 300 K, respectively.

AbstractWe have extended the spectrum of molecular-beam epitaxy (MBE) related techniques by introducing in-situ deposition of oxides. The oxide films have been deposited on clean, atomically ordered (100) GaAs wafer surfaces using molecular beams of gallium-, magnesium-, silicon-, or aluminum oxide. Among the fabricated oxide-GaAs heterostructures, Ga2O3-GaAs interfaces exhibit unique electronic properties including an interface state density Dit in the low 1010 cm−2eV−1 range and an interface recombination velocity S of 4000 cm/s. The formation of inversion layers in both n- and p-type GaAs has been clearly established. Further, thermodynamic and photochemical stability of excellent electronic interface properties of Ga2O3-GaAs structures has been demonstrated.

Kinetics of Ge segregation during molecular beam epitaxial growth is described. It is shown that the Ge segregation is self-limited in Si epitaxial overlayers due to a high concentration effect when the Ge concentration exceeds 0.01 monolayer (ML). As a result, segregation profiles of Ge are found to decay non-exponentially in the growth direction. This unusual Ge segregation was found to be suppressed with an adlayer of strong segregant, Sb, during the kinetic MBE growth. We develop a novel scheme to realize sharp Si/Ge interfaces with strong segregante. Lower limit of the effective amount of Sb for this was found to be 0.75 ML.

ABSTRACTThe results of arsenic incorporation in HgCdTe (MCT) layers grown by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) are reported. The incorporation into MBE-MCT was carried out by a technique called planar doping. Arsenic was successfully incorporated during the MBE growth or after a low temperature anneal as acceptors. These results are very promising for in-situ fabrication of advanced optoelectronic devices using HgCdTe material.

ABSTRACTThe growth of I1/VI epitaxial layers by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) for blue/green lasers is described. To elucidate the issues in the growth of II/VI materials, the differences between II/V and II/VI MBE growth are addressed, including factors such as: substrates, molecular beam sources, lattice matching, sticking coefficients, and surface diffusion. Results of reflection high-energy diffraction (RHEED) oscillation measurements are presented. RHEED oscillations have proven to be a valuable in-situ tool for controlling certain aspects of 1I/VI MBE growth, such as ZnSySe1-y composition, Zn1-xMgxSe composition, and the growth rate of ZnSe during migration-enhanced epitaxy.

AbstractExposure of wurtzite GaN films grown on Si-polar 6H-SiC(0001) to magnesium during molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) has been studied. In the nitrogen rich regime of MBE growth, GaN films are known to grow with rough morphology. We observe on GaN(0001) that small doses of Mg act as a surfactant, smoothing out this roughness. An interpretation of this surfactant behavior is given in terms of electron counting arguments for the surface reconstructions. Previously, we have reported that larger doses of Mg lead to inversion of the Ga-polar GaN film to produce N-polar GaN. Several Mg-related reconstructions of the resulting GaN(000 ) surface are reported.
