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.

Short Period Superlattices

ABSTRACTMolecular beam epitaxy was used to grow EuTe(x)/PbTe(y) short period superlattices with x=1-4 EuTe(111) monolayers alternating with y≈3x PbTe monolayers. The superlattices were characterized by transmission electron microscopy and high resolution x-ray diffraction. Regions with double periodicity were observed coexisting with areas of nominal periodicity. The sample with x=3.5 and y=9, for example, contains regions with double periodicity of x=7 and y=17. X-ray diffraction measurements confirm the formation of the double periodicity in these samples by the appearance of weak satellites in between the satellites of the nominal periodicity. The double periodicity in the superlattice is believed to result from interdiffusion during the growth. A model for this process is presented.

Laser Molecular Beam Epitaxy

Zn1-xCoxO thin films on sapphire (0001) substrates were synthesized by laser molecular beam epitaxy (LMBE) method at various temperatures under a work ambient pressure of 5.0 x 10-5Pa condition. X-ray diffraction (XRD) spectra, UV–visible transmission spectra and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), photoluminescence (PL) spectra were employed to characterize the properties of samples. All samples were of wurtzite hexagonal structure with the preferential c-axis-orientation. Co2+ions incorporated into ZnO lattice and substituted for Zn2+ions. ZnLMM Auger spectrum implied Zn interstitials existed in sample. The optical transmission of all samples was relatively high in visible region. Two PL emission peaks located at 418 nm and 490 nm were assigned to the electron transition from the Zn interstitials to the top of the valence band and from the Zn interstitials to the Zn vacancies, respectively.
