ABSTRACTWe have studied the photoreflectance spectra at 300 K from a series of strained In1−xAlxAs/InP (0.42<x<0.57) strained structures grown by molecular beam epitaxy. From the observed Franz-Keldysh Oscillation we evaluate the built-in de electric field and hence the surface potential under different strain. We found that the surface Fermi level is not pinned at midgap under different strainwhich results in contrast to AIGaAs and GaAs. In addition, from the observed dependence of the built-in electric field Fdc and surface potential barrier Vm on the top layer thickness, we conclude that the surface states are distributed over two separate regions within the energy band gap under different strain and the densities of the surface states are as low as (2,71α0.05)x 1011 cm−2 for the distribution near the conduction band and (4.29α0.05)x1011 cm-2 for the distribution near the valence band. The Fermi level is weakly pinned while the top layer thickness is within the characteristic region of each sample.

It was shown for the first time that Co subnanometer coaverage, being deposited by molecular beam epitaxy method onto the (0001) surface of the BiSbTeSe2 topological insulator at 330 °C, opens an energy band gap in the spectrum of topological surface states in the region of the Dirac point, with a shift in the position of the Dirac point caused by preliminary deposition of the adsorbate at room temperature. The gap band width is 21 +/- 6 meV. Temperature-dependent measurements in the 15-150 K range did not show any width changes.

ABSTRACTA series of epitaxial Co-Cu superlattices has been grown on GaAs (110) substrates by molecular beam epitaxy. Detailed analysis of x-ray diffuse scattering scans along Co (101ℓ) reveals a crossover from from the bulk hcp phase of Co to metastable fcc stacking. Our measurements indicate a strong correlation between structural symmetry and the magnetic anisotropy in Co - noble metal superlattices. In particular, the perpendicular easy axis of magnetization onsets at Co layer thickness ♣ 19 Å in Cohcp-Au compared to only ˜11 Å in Cofcc-Cu.
