Abstract

Layered materials are an actively pursued area of research for realizing highly scaled technologies involving both traditional device structures as well as new physics. Lately, non-equilibrium growth of 2D materials using molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) is gathering traction in the scientific community and here we aim to highlight one of its strengths, growth of abrupt heterostructures, and superlattices (SLs). In this work we present several of the firsts: first growth of MoTe ₂ by MBE, MoSe ₂ on Bi ₂Se ₃ SLs, transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) SLs, and lateral junction between a quintuple atomic layer of Bi ₂Te ₃ and a triple atomic layer of MoTe ₂. In conclusion, reflected high electron energy diffraction oscillations presented during the growth of TMD SLs strengthen our claim that ultrathin heterostructures with monolayer layer control is within reach.

Dynamic layer rearrangement during growth of layered oxide films by molecular beam epitaxy

Journal Article Lee, J. H. ; Luo, G. ; Tung, I. C. ; ... - Nature Materials

The A _n+1B _nO _3n+1 Ruddlesden–Popper homologous series offers a wide variety of functionalities including dielectric, ferroelectric, magnetic and catalytic properties. Unfortunately, the synthesis of such layered oxides has been a major challenge owing to the occurrence of growth defects that result in poor materials behaviour in the higher-order members. To understand the fundamental physics of layered oxide growth, we have developed an oxide molecular beam epitaxy system with in situ synchrotron X-ray scattering capability. We present results demonstrating that layered oxide films can dynamically rearrange during growth, leading to structures that are highly unexpected on the basis of themore »« less

Diode lasers of lead-europium-selenide-telluride grown by molecular beam epitaxy

Journal Article Partin, D.L. - Appl. Phys. Lett.; (United States)

It is desirable to extend the wavelength coverage of PbSnTe diode lasers to shorter wavelengths (lambda<5 ..mu..m) and higher operating temperatures. Currently, this range is covered by PbS/sub x/Se/sub 1-x/ diode lasers operating below 100 K. Double heterojunction diode lasers have now been fabricated using a new materials system, Pb/sub 1-x/Eu/sub x/Se/sub y/Te/sub 1-y/. These structures were grown lattice matched to (100) oriented PbTe substrates by molecular beam epitaxy using PbTe, Eu, Te, PbSe, Tl/sub 2/Te (p dopant), and Bi/sub 2/Te/sub 3/ (n dopant) source ovens. Mesa diodes were fabricated with 20-..mu..m-wide stripes using anodic oxide insulation. Diodes have somore »« less

Structural and optical properties of InGaN--GaN nanowire heterostructures grown by molecular beam epitaxy

Journal Article Limbach, F. ; Gotschke, T. ; Stoica, T. ; ... - Journal of Applied Physics

InGaN/GaN nanowire (NW) heterostructures grown by plasma assisted molecular beam epitaxy were studied in comparison to their GaN and InGaN counterparts. The InGaN/GaN heterostructure NWs are composed of a GaN NW, a thin InGaN shell, and a multifaceted InGaN cap wrapping the top part of the GaN NW. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) images taken from different parts of a InGaN/GaN NW show a wurtzite structure of the GaN core and the epitaxial InGaN shell around it, while additional crystallographic domains are observed whithin the InGaN cap region. Large changes in the lattice parameter along the wire, from pure GaNmore »« less

Improve molecular beam epitaxy growth of HgCdTe on CdZnTe (211)B substrates using interfacial layers of HgTe/CdTe superlattices

Journal Article Chang Yong ; Grein, C. H. ; Zhao, J. ; ... - Journal of Applied Physics

HgTe/CdTe superlattices (SLs) have been grown on CdZnTe (211)B substrates as interfacial layers to improve the reproducibility and material properties of epitaxial HgCdTe. The interfacial SL layer is found by transmission electron microscopy to be capable of smoothing out the substrate's surface roughness and to bend or block threading dislocations from propagating from the substrate into the functional HgCdTe epilayers. The best etch pit density values of 4x10{sup 4} cm{sup -2} were achieved in long-wavelength infrared HgCdTe epilayers with such interfacial layers, while typical values were in the low 10{sup 5} cm{sup -2} range. The recombination mechanisms in such layersmore »« less

Growth, steady-state, and time-resolved photoluminescence study of CdTe/MgCdTe double heterostructures on InSb substrates using molecular beam epitaxy

Journal Article DiNezza, Michael J. ; Liu, Shi ; Kirk, Alexander P. ; ... - Applied Physics Letters

CdTe/MgCdTe double heterostructures (DHs) are grown on InSb substrates using molecular beam epitaxy and reveal strong photoluminescence with over double the intensity of a GaAs/AlGaAs DH with an identical layer structure design grown on GaAs. Time-resolved photoluminescence of the CdTe/MgCdTe DH gives a Shockley-Read-Hall recombination lifetime of 86 ns, which is more than one order of magnitude longer than that of typical polycrystalline CdTe films. These findings indicate that monocrystalline CdTe/MgCdTe DHs effectively reduce surface recombination, have limited nonradiative interface recombination, and are promising for solar cells that could reach power conversion efficiencies similar to that of GaAs.
