摘要: Buried GaAs depositions in a GaSb(001) matrix with few monolayers (ML) thickness form nanometer size tensile-strained agglomerations. Cross-sectional scanning tunneling microscopy reveals case of 1 ML and 2 ML lateral sizes about 5–6 nm heights 6–8 ML, while the 3 ML 4 ML deposition increase to 9–11 nm 8–11 ML. The stoichiometry nanostructures is intermixed GaSb material, particularly for low amounts deposited GaAs. This investigation exhibits defect free growth GaAs/GaSb(001) demonstrates promising perspectives future developments Ga(In)As/GaSb(001) system.
