Structural and optical properties of a catalyst-free GaAs/AlGaAs core–shell nano/microwire grown on (1 1 1)Si substrate

Heterostructure in the catalyst-free GaAs nanowire grown on the Si substrate was studied for the application of optical devices in the next generation. We fabricated AlGaAs/GaAs/AlGaAs quantum well (QW) structure on the side facet of the catalyst-free GaAs nanowire grown by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). The cathode luminescence (CL) measurement showed that the uniform GaAs quantum well was formed between AlGaAs shell layers. On the basis of this structure, we also grew the thick AlGaAs shell layers (∼700 nm) on GaAs nanowires, and observed whispering gallery mode (WGM) resonant in the thick AlGaAs hexagonal structure.     

Heteroepitaxial III–V films on fianite substrates and buffer layers

GaAs, GaSb, AlGaAs, and InGaAs epitaxial films and multilayer AlGaAs/InGaAs/GaAs heterostructures for PHEMT field-effect transistors have been obtained on fianite substrates by metal-organic vapour phase epitaxy. Films of different III–V compounds, including GaN, were grown on Si and GaAs substrates with a simple single buffer layer (fianite) and double buffer layer (fianite on porous Si and GaAs). It is established that the use of a two-layer buffer improves the structural quality and homogeneity of III–V films. A possibility of controlling the phase composition of GaN films using a corresponding buffer layer is shown. It is found that the use of a two-layer buffer increases the electrical homogeneity and decreases the electrical activity of defects in GaN films.     

Epitaxial ferromagnetic thin films and heterostructures of Mn-based metallic and semiconducting compounds on GaAs

We present two approaches to integrate magnetic materials with III–V semiconductors. One is epitaxial ferromagnetic metallic films and heterostructures on GaAs (0 0 1) substrates. Although crystal structure, lattice constant, chemical bonding and other properties are dissimilar, ferromagnetic hexagonal MnAs thin films and MnAs/NiAs ferromagnet/nonmagnet heterostructures (HSs) are grown on GaAs by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). Multi-stepped magnetic hysteresis are controllably realized in MnAs/NiAs HSs, making this material promising for the application to multi-level nonvolatile recording on semiconductors. The other approach is to prepare a new class of GaAs based magnetic semiconductor, GaMnAs, by low-temperature molecular beam epitaxy (LT-MBE) on GaAs (0 0 1). New III–V based superlattices consisting of ferromagnetic semiconductor GaMnAs and nonmagnetic semiconductor AlAs are also successfully grown. Structural and magnetic properties of these new heterostructures are presented.

Growth of GaAs/AlGaAs hexagonal pillars on GaAs (1 1 1)B surfaces by selective-area MOVPE

We report on the growth of GaAs and GaAs/AlGaAs heterostructured hexagonal pillar structures using selective area (SA) metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy (MOVPE). By performing growth on SiO₂-masked (1 1 1)B GaAs substrates with circular or hexagonal hole openings, extremely uniform array of hexagonal GaAs/AlGaAs pillars consisting {1 1 0} vertical facets with their diameter of order of 100 nm were obtained. Unexpectedly, strong intense light emission was observed for the room temperature photoluminescence measurement of the pillar arrays in triangular lattice, which is promising for the application to the photonic crystals to enhance the light extraction efficiency from the materials with high refractive index. Furthermore, it was also found that hexagonal pillars with size 60 nm and large aspect ratio (>100) by reducing the size of initial hole size of mask, opening a possibility to grow nanowires using epitaxial growth.     

Surface preparation effect of GaAs(110) substrates on the ZnSe epitaxial layer grown by molecular beam epitaxy

The effect of the surface preparation of the GaAs(110) substrate on the ZnSe epitaxial layer grown by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) was investigated by means of etch-pit density (EPD) measurements, surface morphology observation, and reflection high-energy electron diffraction (RHEED) analysis. The ZnSe epitaxial layer grown on a GaAs(110) surface prepared by cleaving the (001)-oriented wafer in ultrahigh vacuum (UHV) showed about 5×10⁴ cm^-2 of EPD. This value is much lower than that observed from both the samples grown on the mechanically polished surface with and without a GaAs buffer layer. Due to the non-stoichiometric surface after thermal evaporation of the surface oxide, three-dimensional growth can easily occur on the mechanically polished GaAs(110) substrate. These results suggest that the stoichiometric and atomically flat substrate surface is essential for the growth of low-defect ZnSe epitaxial layers on the GaAs(110) non-polar surface.
