    Electronic structure of GaN(0001)-2 × 2 thin films grown by PAMBE

    PHYSICA STATUS SOLIDI - RAPID RESEARCH LETTERS, Issue 5 2008
    R. Gutt
    Abstract Gallium nitride thin films were grown on silicon carbide (0001) by plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy (PAMBE). The samples were cooled down in nitrogen plasma and characterized in situ by reflection high energy electron diffraction (RHEED), photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS/UPS), and atomic force microscopy (AFM) revealing stoichiometric and smooth GaN films virtually free of contaminations. We present valence band data obtained by UPS with strong emission from surface states inside the fundamental band gap. These states and the observed 2 × 2 surface reconstruction are highly sensitive towards residual molecules. Once these surface states have disappeared the original state could not be recovered by surface preparation methods underlining the necessity of in situ investigations on as-grown surfaces.

    Field emission from surface-modified heavily phosphorus-doped homoepitaxial (111) diamond

    Abstract Field emission from heavily phosphorus-doped homoepitaxial (111) diamonds after surface modifications are discussed. To develop a model for emission, we applied X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) to characterize surface properties of H-plasma treated, oxidized and carbon-reconstructed surfaces. In addition, reflection high energy electron diffraction (RHEED) is used to evaluate atomic arrangements. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is used to investigate surface morphologies. From AFM, no major difference is observed between H-terminated, oxidized and carbon reconstructed surfaces. Field emission proper- ties of carbon reconstructed surfaces show a lower threshold than hydrogen-terminated or oxidized surfaces. (© 2007 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim) [source]

    Kinetics of the heteroepitaxial growth of Ge layer at low temperature on Si(001) in UHV-CVD

    PHYSICA STATUS SOLIDI (A) APPLICATIONS AND MATERIALS SCIENCE, Issue 2 2004
    M. Halbwax
    Abstract The Ge growth at 330 °C by ultrahigh vacuum chemical vapour deposition is investigated in real time by reflection high energy electron diffraction (RHEED) in combination with atomic force microscopy and Rutherford back scattering spectrometry (RBS). The Stranski-Krastanov-related 2D to 3D transition is avoided at low temperature and the major part of the relaxation process occurs during the deposition of the first two monolayers. The very low growth rate observed during this first step is related to the deposition of Ge on Si. Beyond 2 deposited MLs, the growth rate increases drastically due to a complete coverage of Si by Ge. Finally, the deposition of Ge at 330 °C results in an in-plane lattice parameter approaching 90% of that of Ge bulk and a flat surface with rms roughness of 0.6 nm for a film thickness lower than 30 nm.

    Scanning tunneling microscopy of monoatomic gold chains on vicinal Si(335) surface: experimental and theoretical study

    PHYSICA STATUS SOLIDI (B) BASIC SOLID STATE PHYSICS, Issue 2 2005
    M. Krawiec
    Abstract We study electronic and topographic properties of the Si(335) surface, containing Au wires parallel to the steps. We use scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) supplemented by reflection of high energy electron diffraction (RHEED) technique. The STM data show the space and voltage dependent oscillations of the distance between STM tip and the surface which can be explained within one band tight binding Hubbard model. We calculate the STM current using nonequilibrium Keldysh Green function formalism. (© 2005 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim) [source]

    AlN/GaN superlattices: strain relaxation

    PHYSICA STATUS SOLIDI (C) - CURRENT TOPICS IN SOLID STATE PHYSICS, Issue 6 2006
    E. Bellet-Amalric
    Abstract A serie of AlN/GaN superlattices with thin period (fewer than 6 monolayers) was grown by plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy. Their strain relaxation is address by in-situ reflection high energy electron diffraction (RHEED). Three distinct phenomena can be distinguished; two of them are related to a dislocation introduction mechanism (at the first monolayers or all along the sample) and the third correspond to a periodic elastic strain relaxation. Their relative importance depends on growth conditions and should be taken into account while designing a complete superlattice structure. (© 2006 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim) [source]
