摘要
GaN films are grown on [001] GaAs substrates by plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy using a three-step process that consists of a substrate nitridation, deposition of a low-temperature buffer layer, and a high-temperature overgrowth. X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy indicate that this method promotes prismatic growth of c-oriented alpha-GaN. Photoluminescence studies show that the emission from cubic beta-GaN inclusions dominates the spectrum. (c) 2006 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
