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.

AbstractWe use a scanning tunneling microscope (STM) capable of imaging the growing layer at high temperature during molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) to study the epitaxial growth of Germanium on Silicon and the decay of Ge islands. The periodicity of the (2×N) reconstruction of two-dimensional Ge layers on Si(001) is measured as function of the Ge coverage. Strain energy drives the formation of the (2×N) reconstruction and Si/Ge intermixing. A comparison to total energy calculations predicting the periodicity of the (2×N) reconstruction is used to estimate the amount of Si-Ge intermixing near the surface. The evolution of the size and shape of individual “hut clusters” is measured and explained by kinetically self-limiting growth. The relaxation of kinetically a determined morphology towards equilibrium is followed for a Ge layer on Si(111). Strained two-dimensional as well as partially relaxed three-dimensional islands dissolve and are soaked up by larger three-dimensional islands which are dislocated and therefore fully relaxed.

We comprehensively studied InGaN/GaN heterostructures grown by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) using a variety of methods of optical spectroscopy, such as cathodoluminescence microscopy (CL), time-integrated and time-resolved photoluminescence. To correlate the fluctuations in emission wavelength with values for the optical amplification we performed gain measurements in edge-stripe geometry. The lateral homogeneity can be drastically improved using a template of GaN grown on the sapphire substrate by metal-organic vapor phase epitaxy (MOVPE). Gain values up to 62 cm−1 were found in samples with low indium fluctuations, which is comparable to values for high-quality InGaN/GaN heterostructures grown by MOVPE.
