A. Ohtake et al., SURFACE PROCESSES DURING HETEROEPITAXY OF ZNSE ON GAAS(111)A AS OBSERVED BY REFLECTION HIGH-ENERGY ELECTRON-DIFFRACTION, Physical review. B, Condensed matter, 56(23), 1997, pp. 14909-14912
Reflection high-energy electron diffraction and (RHEED) and x-ray-phot
oelectron spectroscopy have been used to study dynamical growth proces
ses of ZnSe on GaAs(111)A-(2x2). ZnSe heteroepitaxially grows in a bia
tomic layer-by-layer mode with the(111)A orientation, being accompanie
d by distinct RHEED intensity oscillations. The growth rate of ZnSe in
creases and decreases with increasing Se/Zn flux ratio and ZnSe film t
hickness, respectively. We have found a strong dependence of the growt
h rate on chemical composition of the growing ZnSe surface.
