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.

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.

ABSTRACTA simple kinetic model has been developed to explain the agreement between in situ and ex situ determination of phosphorus composition in GaAs1−xPx (x < 0.4) epilayers grown on GaAs (001) by gas-source molecular-beam epitaxy (GSMBE). The in situ determination is by monitoring the intensity oscillations of reflection high-energy-electron diffraction during group-V-limited growth, and the ex situ determination is by x-ray rocking curve measurement of GaAs1−xPx/GaAs strained-layer superlattices grown under group-III-limited growth condition.

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.

ABSTRACTThis talk reviews work on the optical properties of Eu-doped GaN at the Semiconductor Spectroscopy laboratory of the University of Strathclyde. The principal experimental technique used has been lamp-based Photoluminescence/Excitation (PL/E) spectroscopy on samples produced mainly by high-energy ion implantation and annealing, either at low or high pressures of nitrogen, as described by Lorenz et al. [1]. These have been supplemented by samples doped in-situ either by Molecular Beam Epitaxy or Metallorganic Vapour Phase Epitaxy. Magneto-optic experiments on GaN:Eu were carried out in collaboration with the University of Bath.

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.

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.
