摘要: We have investigated nitrogen incorporation mechanisms in dilute nitride GaAsN alloys grown by plasma-assisted molecular-beam epitaxy. A comparison of nuclear reaction analysis and Rutherford backscattering spectrometry channeling nonchanneling conditions reveals significant composition-dependent N into nonsubstitutional sites, presumably as either N–N or N–As split interstitials. Furthermore, we identify the (2×1) reconstruction surface structure which leads to highest substitutional incorporation, likely due high number group V sites per unit area available for exchange.We exchange.
