Long lasting RHEED oscillations during MBE growth of GaAs and Al

As are observed. Using these oscillations, accurate measurements of GaAs, Al

Ga1-x
As growth rates and the Al mole fraction x were performed during the growths. The phase of the RHEED oscillations was analyzed by computer and molecular beam shutters were operated at a particular phase. This computer controlled phase-locked epitaxy (PLE) was applied to grow precisely defined (GaAs)2(AlAs)2 bi-layer superlattices. Raman scattering spectra showed split lines characteristic of superlattices. This PLE method is invulnerable to molecular beam fluctuations.
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.
