摘要: The local element distribution across tensile-strained N δ-doped (In,Ga)As/GaAs quantum wells (QWs) is investigated by transmission electron microscopy. sub-monolayer (ML) insertion results in a several monolayers thick (In,Ga)(As,N) layer with lateral composition fluctuations. We also find an inhomogeneous In incorporation the QW, minimum content, [In]min, exactly at position of N-insertion, where content maximum, [N]max. Regardless along [N]max corresponds to [In]min so that this has lattice parameter close aGaAs. impact tensile strain on complex chemical configuration discussed.
