2D Model

High-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM) has been used to investigate the structural properties of GeMn/Ge nanocolumns multilayer samples grown on Ge(001) substrates by means of molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) system. Four bilayers with the spacer thickness in the range between 6 nm and 15 nm and 10 periods of bilayers of Ge[Formula: see text]Mn[Formula: see text]/Ge nanocolumn are presented. A simplified 2D model based on the theory of elastic constant interactions has been used to provide reasonable explanations to the vertical self-organization of GeMn nanocolumns in multilayers.

Superlattice Layer

ABSTRACTOptical and transmission electron microscopy have been used to study cracks appearing in ZnSe/ZnSxSe1−x (x ∼ 0.38) superlattices grown by Molecular Beam Epitaxy. It Is shown that when a fracture occurs it is confined, in most cases, to the superlattice and propagates along <011> cleavage directions in these <001> oriented epilayers. Cracks were not observed in all superlattices and their onset is discussed in relation to sulfur concentration, overall superlattice height, individual superlattice layer thicknesses, and stress, tensile or compressive, due to lattice mismatch and thermal expansion differences between buffer layer and superlattice. It was found that by adjusting the controllable parameters, cracks in the superlattices could be eliminated. Orientation and density of these features have been related to asynnmetric cracking associated with the zincblende structure of these II-VI materials. Experimental results are shown to be in agreement with theoretical predictions of critical heights for the onset of cracking.
