ABSTRACTThe epitaxial growth of wurtzite and zincblende GaN on (0001) sapphire and (001) Si by the Electron Cyclotron Resonance-assited Molecular Beam Epitaxy (ECR-MBE) method is discussed. We show that films can be grown in the layer-by-layer mode when growth occurs in Ga-rich regime. Surface roughening mechanisms are addressed. The similarity of photoluminescence data of Mg-doped wurtzite GaN films with those of undoped zincblende GaN films suggests that Mg doping facilitates the formation of stacking faults in the wurtzite structure which are nucleation sites for zincblende domains.

ABSTRACTBecause of the large lattice mismatch between InAs and GaAs, the growth of the former on the (001) surface of the latter undergoes a well-known transition from a layer-by-layer mode to an island mode at an equivalent coverage of 1–2 monolayers (ML). We have observed a suppression of this transition when growth proceeds under a simultaneous thallium flux. The thallium is not significantly incorporated into the InAs layer; however, approximately I ML may remain at the interface. The effect of the thallium on the electronic properties of the InAs is investigated.

AbstractWe have performed a detailed investigation of the molecular beam epitaxial (MBE) growth and characterization of InN nanowires spontaneously formed on Si(111) substrates under nitrogen rich conditions. Controlled epitaxial growth of InN nanowires (NWs) has been demonstrated by using an in situ deposited thin (˜ 0.5 nm) In seeding layer prior to the initiation of growth. By applying this technique, we have achieved non-tapered epitaxial InN NWs that are relatively free of dislocations and stacking faults. Such InN NW ensembles display strong photoluminescence (PL) at room temperature and considerably reduced spectral broadening, with very narrow spectral linewidths of 22 and 40 meV at 77 K and 300 K, respectively.

Thermal treatment under propane at 1300-1400 °C has been used to prepare Silicon (001) wafers for subsequent growth of cubic GaN and AlN by Electron Cyclotron Resonance Plasma Assisted Molecular Beam Epitaxy (ECRMBE). Thermal treatment of Silicon wafers under propane, used in this experiment, produced a very thin (40 Å) layer of cubic SiC on the Silicon (001) surface. Despite an extremely low thickness of as-produced SiC layer, high quality cubic GaN has been successfully grown. The cubic form of AlN grown on the SiC(40Å)/Si(001) surface has also been observed despite a very high density of stacking faults.
