Cross-Sectional Scanning Tunneling Microscopy.
Since its invention in the early 1980, scanning tunneling microscopy1-4 (STM) and techniques such as atomic force microscopy5 (AFM) that have evolved from it have become tools of paramount importance in fundamental studies of surfaces. In addition, increasing effort has been directed towards the use of STM and related techniques to address problems of technological interest, particularly in the...
متن کاملEnhanced group V intermixing in InGaAs/ InP quantum wells studied by cross- sectional scanning tunneling microscopy
Cross-sectional scanning tunneling microscopy is used to study InGaAs/ InP quantum well intermixing produced by phosphorus implantation. When phosphorus ions are implanted in a cap layer in front of the quantum wells (in contrast to earlier work involving implantation through the wells), clear strain development is observed at the interfaces between quantum well and barrier layers after anneali...
متن کاملInGaAs/InP quantum well intermixing studied by cross-sectional scanning tunneling microscopy
Cross-sectional scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) is used to study lattice matched InGaAs/InP quantum well (QW) intermixing induced by ion implantation and thermal annealing. Different strain development in QWs (determined by STM topography of elastic relaxation in cross-sectionally cleaved samples) is found to be dependent upon the range of the implanted ions relative to the QWs. It is found...
متن کاملGaSb/GaAs quantum dot formation and demolition studied with cross-sectional scanning tunneling microscopy
We present a cross-sectional scanning tunneling microscopy study of GaSb/GaAs quantum dots grown by molecular beam epitaxy. Various nanostructures are observed as a function of the growth parameters. During growth, relaxation of the high local strain fields of the nanostructures plays an important role in their formation. Pyramidal dots with a high Sb content are often accompanied by threading ...
متن کاملCross-sectional scanning tunneling microscopy of GaAsSbÕGaAs quantum well structures
We have used cross-sectional scanning tunneling microscopy ~STM! to perform nanometer-scale characterization of compositional structure and interfacial properties within GaAs12xSbx /GaAs double-quantum well structures. An algorithm has been devised based on analysis of strain effects in STM data to obtain detailed, quantitative compositional profiles within alloy layers. Using this and other an...
