摘要: Selected-area electron diffraction pattern (SADP) and transmission microscopy (TEM) measurements were carried out to investigate the spontaneously ordered structure in CdxZn1−xTe epitaxial layers grown on (001) GaAs substrates. The SADP showed superstructure reflections with symmetrical intensity, high-resolution TEM (HRTEM) image doublet periodicity contrast of {100} {110} lattice planes. results HRTEM that Cu3Au type structures formed layers. dark-field size domains a rectangular-like shape was approximately 15∼30 nm thick, widths ranging from 30 200 nm. Fine modulations also observed. These provide important information microstructural properties for enhancing efficiencies CdxZn1−xTe-based optoelectronic devices operating at blue-green region spectrum.
