Abstract:Quaternary semiconductor alloys based on GaSb are suitable for thermo-photo voltaic cell applications as they have low and adjustable band-gap. However, they exhibit phase separation which destroys band-gap uniformity. In this work, GalnAsSb thin films grown on GaSb vicinal substrates were studied by Transmission Electron Microscopy, in order to determine the influence of the growth parameters on phase separation. It was found that the coatings exhibit two types of compositional modulation, one parallel and th… Show more
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.
