Description:

(abstract)

Molecular-beam epitaxy of InSb on the (111)A-oriented GaAs substrates has been studied using electron diffraction, x-ray diffraction, and scanning probe microscopy. The direct growth of InSb on GaAs(111)A results in a cracked morphology with flat terraces and deep gaps, which could be attributed to the extremely large lattice mismatch between InSb and GaAs (14.6 %). When thin (5 – 30 monolayer thickness) InAs films are used as interlayers, more continuous and flat InSb films are obtained.
