ABSTRACTWe have characterized the structure of the epitaxial Sc2O3 films grown on a α-Al2O3 (111) substrate using molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) techniques. The Sc2O3 films grow in the bulk bixbyite phase with a very uniform thickness, and a high structural perfection. They grow with their cubic (111) axis parallel to the rhombohedral (111) axis of the sapphire substrate. The in-plane orientation of the films, however, is rotated by ±30 degrees with respect to the substrate rhombohedral axes. This is explained by the presence of two equivalent orientations of the 3-fold axis of the film on the quasi 6-fold surface of the substrate.

ABSTRACTHigh-resolution X-ray diffraction (HRXRD) studies have been cardied out to determine the structural perfection and periodicity for a number of high-quality InGaAsfInP superlattices grown by gas source molecular beam epitaxy. X-ray scans were carried out with a compact four-crystal monochromator resulting in a resolution of one molecular layer (∼3,Å), which enables one to observe very small variations in the periodic structure. Sharp and strong higher-order satellite reflections in the XRD profiles were observed indicating smooth interfaces with well-defined modulated structures. Excellent computer simulated fits of the X-ray satellite pattern could be generated based on a kinematical XRD step model which assumes ideally sharp interfaces, and periodic structural parameters such as the strain in the well could be extracted. Our results3 demonstrate that HRXRD in conjunction with the kinematical step model is a very sensitive method to assess periodic structural modifications in superlattices as a result of the precise growth conditions in the gas source MBE system.

Monolayer antimony (antimonene) has been reported for its excellent properties, such as tuneable band gap, stability in the air, and high mobility. However, growing high quality, especially large-area antimonene, remains challenging. In this study, we report the direct growth of antimonene on c-plane sapphire substrate while using molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). We explore the effect of growth temperature on antimonene formation and present a growth phase diagram of antimony. The effect of antimony sources (Sb2 or Sb4) and a competing mechanism between the two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) growth processes and the effects of adsorption and cracking of the source molecules are also discussed. This work offers a new method for growing antimonene and it provides ideas for promoting van der Waals epitaxy.
