In this work, we discuss the growth of dilute InAsBi nanostructures grown by metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy on GaAs substrates. The surface morphology of InAsBi nanostructures is carefully investigated, as a function of the growth temperature, by scanning electronic microscopy and atomic force microscopy. (004) High-resolution X-ray diffraction configuration has been used to characterize the crystalline quality and Bi incorporation in the InAsBi films. Low temperature and low Bi flow favor the formation of elongated nanostructures during growth. We give a quantitative description of the elemental processes for the formation of these nanostructures. Our description is based on the Tersoff and Tromp theoretical model.

AbstractNonpolara-plane GaN films were grown on r-plane sapphire substrates by atmospheric metalorganic vapor-phase epitaxy. The as-grown layers were studied by high-resolution x-ray diffraction. Thea-plane GaN lattice mosaic is orientation dependent as determined by x-ray rocking curve (XRC) measurements. The tilt mosaic measured with the c-axis within the scattering plane (c-mosaic) was greater than the mosaic measured with the m-axis within the scattering plane (m-mosaic). The mosaic along both azimuths decreased and thec-mosaic/m-mosaic ratio was increased with increase of growth temperature from 1050 °C to 1080 °C. The morphological transition was correlated to change in thea-plane GaN tilt mosaic measured by XRC.

ZnSSe / ZnMgSSe MQW structures were grown by molecular beam epitaxy on GaAs substrates. The band gap of ZnMgSSe barriers was approximately 3 eV at room temperature. Cathodoluminescence, X-ray diffraction, optical, scanning electron beam, and atomic force microscopy were all used for structure characterization. Decay of the ZnMgSSe solid solution in at least two phases was observed. Improvement in the quality of the crystal lattice and surface morphology was achieved by mismatching the ZnMgSSe from the GaAs substrate by increasing the lattice period by 0.24%.

ABSTRACTHigh resolution x-ray diffraction and x-ray topography study of GaN thin films, grown on sapphire (00.1) substrate by reduced pressure metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy under various conditions, were performed. An attempt was made to correlate the mobility in films with similar carrier concentration with the strain and dislocation density. X-ray topography revealed the defects present in the film.

ABSTRACTInAs single layers were grown by Molecular Beam Epitaxy on nominally (001) oriented GaAs substrates at growth temperatures ranging from 350 °C to 500 °C and thicknesses between 1 nm and 6 μm. A systematic study of the influence of growth temperature and thickness on crystal defects and surface morphology is discussed by comparing High Resolution X-Ray Diffraction, Transmission Electron Microscopy and Atomic Force Microscopy investigations.Surface hexagonal shaped holes were observed to develop at the lowest temperatures starting from an heterolayer thickness of 50 nm. Both misfit and threading dislocations were revealed; moreover the correlation between hexagonal shaped surface holes and mixed dislocations, with the component of the Burgers vector (b) along the growth axis larger than the minimum interatomic distance, is discussed. The holes increase in size and decrease in density by increasing the layer thickness. An almost complete surface planarization is observed at a thickness of 6 μm by increasing the growth temperature up to 500 °C.
