Abstract
The structure of low-temperature grown GaAs with equidistant δ-layers of Sb and P was studied by analysis of the X-ray curves, which was supported by optical absorption measurements and transmission electron microscopy. The simultaneous fitting of the X-ray reflectivity curve and diffraction ones for GaAs (004) and GaAs (115) crystallographic planes provided reliable information about the period of δ-layer superlattice, thickness of the Sb and P δ-layers, and amount of excess As. Variation of these parameters was documented when excess As precipitated into As nanoinclusions upon annealing. The Sb and P δ-layers impact differently on the As precipitation processes in low-temperature grown GaAs. The combination of Sb and P δ-layers appears to be an effective tool for spatial patterning of the nanoinclusion array and prevention of the defect formation under annealing.
期刊介绍:
Acta Crystallographica Section B: Structural Science, Crystal Engineering and Materials publishes scientific articles related to the structural science of compounds and materials in the widest sense. Knowledge of the arrangements of atoms, including their temporal variations and dependencies on temperature and pressure, is often the key to understanding physical and chemical phenomena and is crucial for the design of new materials and supramolecular devices. Acta Crystallographica B is the forum for the publication of such contributions. Scientific developments based on experimental studies as well as those based on theoretical approaches, including crystal-structure prediction, structure-property relations and the use of databases of crystal structures, are published.
