摘要: The authors investigated the synthesis of GaIn(N)As∕Ga(N)As multiple quantum wells by molecular beam epitaxy. Introducing N into GaInAs appears to suppress incorporation In as indicated reflective high-energy electron diffraction (RHEED). This effect is mainly due N-induced enhancement surface segregation at growth front and evidenced increasing damping rate RHEED oscillations with incorporation. in GaInNAs confirmed secondary-ion-mass spectroscopy high-resolution x-ray diffractions, its origin discussed.
