Ga2O3(Gd2O3)-GaAs heterostructures in situ fabricated using a multicha
mber ultrahigh vacuum (molecular beam epitaxy) system were studied by
x-ray reflectivity measurement and high-resolution transmission electr
on microscopy. The oxide-GaAs interfaces were found to be very smooth
with the roughness no more than 1 nm. Moreover, an interfacial roughne
ss as small as one atomic layer of GaAs (0.33 nm) was observed using x
-ray reflectivity. (C) 1998 American Vacuum Society.
