Three InAsSbBi samples are grown by molecular beam epitaxy at 400 °C on GaSb substrates with three different offcuts: (100) on-axis, (100) offcut 1° toward [011], and (100) offcut 4° toward [011]. The samples are investigated using X-ray diffraction, Nomarski optical microscopy, atomic force microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and photoluminescence spectroscopy. The InAsSbBi layers are 210 nm thick, coherently strained, and show no observable defects. The substrate offcut is not observed to influence the structural and interface quality of the samples. Each sample exhibits small lateral variations in the Bi mole fraction, with the largest variation observed in the on-axis growth. Bismuth rich surface droplet features are observed on all samples. The surface droplets are isotropic on the on-axis sample and elongated along the [011¯] step edges on the 1° and 4° offcut samples. No significant change in optical quality with offcut angle is observed.

ABSTRACTWe have grown InN quantum dots (QDs) on nitrogen-polarity (N-polarity) GaN under-layer by the radio-frequency plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy (RF-MBE), and systematically investigated growth mechanism of the InN dots. The InN QDs with the N-polarity could be grown at about 500°C, which was much higher than that of previous reports on InN dots grown by MBE. When the nominal coverage of InN became more than 1 mono-layer (ML), lattice relaxation of InN occurred and high density InN dots were uniformly formed. These results indicated that InN dots were formed by Stranski-Krastanov (S-K) growth mode. For the InN deposition above about 8ML, InN dots tended to coalesce and resulted in remarakable decrease of the dots density.
