Abstract:Cubic AlxGa1-xN films were grown by molecular beam epitaxy on freestanding 3C-SiC (001) substrates with an Al mole fraction of x=0 to 0.74. Using the intensity of a reflected high energy electron beam as a probe we find optimum growth conditions of c-AlGaN when a one-monolayer gallium coverage is formed at the growing surface. Clear reflection high energy electron diffraction oscillations during the initial growth of AlxGa1-xN/GaN layers were observed. The growth rate was about 177 nm/h. We find that the alumi… 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.
