O. Naji et al., A DETAILED TIME-OF-FLIGHT STUDY OF THE CRACKING PATTERN OF TRIMETHYLGALLIUM - IMPLICATIONS FOR MOMBE GROWTH, Journal of crystal growth, 164(1-4), 1996, pp. 58-65
Time of flight measurements of trimethylgallium (TMGa) have been used
to obtain detailed information regarding the effect of mass spectrosco
pic detection on organometallic molecules, under ultra high vacuum. Th
e technique adopted allows the determination of ''cracking patterns''
for all species, trimethylgallium, dimethylgallium (DMGa) and monometh
ylgallium (MMGa), derived from the parent molecule. This information h
as important significance for in situ modulated beam mass spectroscopy
(MBMS) growth studies of GaAs from this precursor.
