Bicrystals of gallium arsenide have been grown by the technique of organometallic, vapor phase epitaxy on substrates cut from Czochralski-grown germanium bicrystals. Both 〈110〉 and 〈001〉 tilt boundaries have been grown. Experimental illustrations of the Σ=3 and Σ=5 grain boundaries are presented. The grain boundaries tend to facet along well-defined planes but closely reproduce the misorientation of the seed bicrystal.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
