摘要: We report on the influence of structural properties refractive index AlN films grown Si(111) substrates by molecular-beam epitaxy using ammonia. The are assessed reflection high-energy electron diffraction, atomic force microscopy, transmission and x-ray diffraction. Refractive values deduced from room-temperature spectroscopic ellipsometry. Optical data analysis is performed Kramers-Kronig relation in transparent spectral region, 1.6 to 3.2 eV. Evidence presented showing strain dislocation density layer index.
