摘要: The structural and optical properties of pseudomorphic InAsSbBi grown on GaSb are examined using reflection high-energy electron diffraction, X-ray Rutherford backscattering spectrometry, spectroscopic ellipsometry. layer studied is 210 nm thick was by molecular beam epitaxy at 280 °C under a (2 × 3) surface reconstruction near-stoichiometric fluxes. material homogeneous single crystal with no observable defects or Bi droplets. group-V mole fractions determined measurements the fraction diffraction lattice tetragonal distortion. bandgap energy from room temperature constants measured These InAsSb InAsBi utilized to describe as function bowing model.
