InAs thin films with good characteristics were grown on GaAs (0 0 1) substrates by molecular beam epitaxy. Cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy indicated that most of the threading dislocations formed by the interaction of misfit dislocations are annihilated above a small thickness. The high electron mobility and small temperature depen...
The photoluminescence (PL) properties of ZnSe films grown by hot wall epitaxy are reported. The PL spectra show clear neutral donor-bound exciton peak; donor acceptor pair (DAP) peak, conduction band to acceptor (CA) peak, and their phonon replicas until fourth order. The conduction band to acceptor peak and it's phonon replicas exist until room te...
In this work we investigate the lateral periodicity of symmetrically strained (GaIn)As/GaAs/Ga(PAs)/GaAs superlattices by means of X-ray scattering techniques. The multilayers were grown by metalorganic Vapour phase epitaxy on (001)GaAs substrates, which were intentionally off-oriented towards the [011]-direction. The substrate off-orientation and ...
We have recently found evidence of new donor acceptor pair (DAP) luminescence in molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) grown films. A variety of nominally undoped samples have been studied by photoluminescence (PL) over a temperature range of 5-300 K. The samples show intensive luminescence al energies of 3.404-3.413 eV varying with different sample at 5 K,...
By using the recently developed exact effective-mass envelope-function theory, the electronic structures of InAs/GaAs strained superlattices grown on GaAs (100) oriented substrates are studied. The electron and hole subband structures, distribution of electrons and holes along the growth direction, optical transition matrix elements, exciton states...
A novel coupled distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) with double thickness periods was theoretically analyzed based on the spontaneous radiation properties of high brightness AlGaInP light emitting diodes(LED). Several important factors were considered including spontaneous radiation angle distribution, absorption and FTR of DBR. Calculation results s...
The growth of wurtzite GaN by low-pressure metalorganic vapor-phase epitaxy on (1 1 1) magnesium aluminate (MgAl2O4) substrates have been studied. The morphological, crystalline, electrical and optical properties are investigated. A p-n junction GaN LED was fabricated on the MgAl2O4 substrate. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
Iron doping of InP and GaInAsP( lambda g=1.05 mu m) layers grown by metalorganic molecular beam epitaxy was studied using elemental source material in combination with a conventional effusion cell. This study was aimed at the creation of semi-insulating optical waveguides under growth conditions compatible with selective area growth. Secondary ion ...
A new method is realized for the growth of self-formed quantum dots. We identify that dislocation-free islands can be formed by the strain from the strained superlattice taken as a whole. Unlike the Stranski-Krastanow (S-K) growth mode, the islands do not form during the growth of the corresponding strained single layers. Highly uniform quantum dot...
The fabrication of advanced undoped and semi-insulating optical waveguides to be implemented in integrated photonic ICs on InP is demonstrated on the basis of the metal organic molecular beam epitaxy growth technique. The optimised deposition of waveguide layer structures of high crystalline and optical quality resulted in optical losses as low as ...
