摘要：

The incorporation of Bi is investigated in the molecular beam epitaxy growth of GaAs1-xBix. Bi content increases rapidly as the As-2:Ga flux ratio is lowered to 0.5 and then saturates for lower flux ratios. Growth under Ga and Bi rich conditions shows that Bi content increases strongly with decreasing temperature. A model is proposed where Bi from a wetting layer incorporates through attachment to Ga-terminated surface sites. The weak Ga-Bi bond can be broken thermally, ejecting Bi back into the wetting layer. Highly crystalline films with up to 22% Bi were grown at temperatures as low as 200 degrees C. (C) 2012 American Institute of Physics. [http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4748172]
