摘要: We demonstrate the growth of high‐quality, single crystal, rocksalt LaAs on III‐V substrates; employing thin well-behaved LuAs barriers layers at III-V/LaAs interfaces to suppress nucleation other phases, interfacial reactions between GaAs and LaAs, polycrystalline growth. This method enables crystal epitaxial with enhanced structural electrical properties. Temperature-dependent resistivity optical reflectivity measurements suggest that is semimetallic, consistent bandstructure calculations in literature. exhibits distinct properties, as compared previously reported rare-earth arsenide materials, a room-temperature ∼459 μΩ-cm an transmission window >50% ∼3-5 μm.
