In Si crystal growth by molecular-beam epitaxy (MBE) at low temperatures there is known to be an epitaxial thickness: an initially crystalline regime before the deposited film becomes amorphous. The predominant impurity in MBE is hydrogen, but the role of background H in low-temperature MBE has not previously been assessed. Here the effect of deliberate dosing of the Si surface with atomic H du...

We present a new technique allowing us to build freely suspended two-dimensional electron gases from AlGaAs/GaAs/AlAs heterostructures. This technique relies on an MBE-grown structures that includes a sacrificial layer. ( 1998 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

Saturated hydraulic conductivity of Soil is an important property in processes involving water and solute flow in soils. Saturated hydraulic conductivity of soil is difficult to measure and can be highly variable, requiring a large number of replicate samples. In this study, 60 sets of soil samples were collected at Saqhez region of Kurdistan province-IRAN. The statistics such as Correlation Co...

In this study we report in-plane nanotracks produced by molecular-beam-epitaxy (MBE) exhibiting lateral self-assembly and unusual periodic and out-of-phase height variations across their growth axes. The nanotracks are synthesized using bismuth segregation on the GaAsBi epitaxial surface, which results in metallic liquid droplets capable of catalyzing GaAsBi nanotrack growth via the vapor-liqui...

Abstract The reflection high-energy electron diffraction (RHEED) method is widely used for the in situ observation of molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). This because RHEED pattern dynamically changes according to growth conditions, such as surface temperature and material supply. However, date, has been categorized recognized based on experience researcher. In this study, we investigated classificat...

Pulsed Laser Deposition in molecular-beam epitaxy environment (Laser-MBE) has been used to grow high quality BaCuO x /CaCuO 2 superlattices. In situ Reflection High Energy Electron Diffraction (RHEED) shows that the growth mechanism is 2-dimensional. Furthermore, weak but reproducible RHEED intensity oscillations have been monitored during the growth. Ex-situ x-ray diffraction spectra confirmed...

Strained-layer superlattices (SLSs) are an active research topic in the molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) and infrared focal plane array communities. These structures undergo a >500 K temperature change between deposition and operation. As a result, the lattice constants of the substrate and superlattice are expected to change by approximately 0.3%, and at approximately the same rate. However, we pr...

We report grazing incidence X-ray scattering and high angle X-ray diffraction measurements of the structure of sputtered Cu/Co multilayers. Compared with structures grown by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) the roughness at the Cu/Co interfaces has little conformality and is almost uncorrelated between the bottom and the top. The lateral correlation length is short in comparison with the MBE materi...
