Abstract
We have successfully grown BiSb alloy thin films on CdTe(111)B over a wide range of Sb compositions using molecular beam epitaxy. Structural propertie s have been investigated using in situ reflection high-energy electron diff raction, x-ray diffraction, and atomic force microscopy. Adding Sb to Bi le ads to a reduction of the lattice constant, poorer crystallinity, and a rou gher surface morphology. (C) 1999 American Vacuum Society. [S0734-2101(99)0 4601-1].
