We report the observation of periodic compositional modulation in ZnSe
1-xTex alloys grown by molecular beam epitaxy on vicinal (100) GaAs su
bstrates. The period is highly regular, with typical values between 18
and 32 Angstrom, and is long range in character. X-ray diffraction in
dicates that the composition varies approximately sinusoidally, result
ing in superlattices that are expected to have unique physical propert
ies.
