摘要
The manuscript reports that the initial strain relaxation of highly mismatched GaSb layers grown on GaAs (001) is governed by the two-dimensional (2D), periodic interfacial misfit (IMF) dislocation array growth mode. Under optimized growth conditions, only pure 90 dislocations are generated along both [110] and [1 (1) over bar0] directions that are located at GaSb/GaAs interface, which leads to very low threading dislocation density propagated along the growth direction. The long-range uniformity and subsequent strain relaxation of the 2D and periodic IMF array are demonstrated via transmission electron microscopy and scanning transmission electron microscopy images at GaSb/GaAs interface.
