GaInP epitaxial crystals grown on (001) GaAs at 660–700 °C by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition are examined by transmission electron microscopy. The computer-processed image of the high-resolution electron micrograph clearly reveals a lamellate-ordered domain structure of two variants of {111} superlattices, which is also investigated using cross-section and plan-view dark field electron micrographs. The spikes of well-defined superspots in the diffraction pattern were found to originate from the shape of the domains. The investigation of GaInP grown with different Zn concentrations showed that the disordering occurs as a result of a decrease in the density rather than the size of the domain.
The activation energies of DX centers in AlGaAs doped with six different impurities (S, Se, Te, Si, Ge, and Sn) are measured by deep level transient spectroscopy. Remarkable trends are established, in which the activation energies of DX centers with group IV impurities become shallower as the mass number of the impurity increases, while those with group VI impurities remain constant.
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.
