Si deposition on H terminated Si(100)-2x1 and 3x1 surfaces at temperatures 300-530 K is studied by scanning tunneling microscopy. Hydrogen apparently hinders Si adatom diffusion and enhances surface roughening. The post-growth annealing…
Experimental observations of heteroepitaxial growth of Ge on Si(001) show a (2xn) reconstruction for sub-monolayer coverages, with dimer rows crossed by missing-dimer trenches. We present first-principles density-functional calculations…
We performed classical molecular dynamics simulations to investigate, from an atomistic point of view, the formation of dislocations during the epitaxial growth of Ge on Si. We show that simulations at 900 and 1000 K with deposition rates…
We have grown (InyGa1-y)1-xMnxAs ferromagnetic semiconductor layers with Mn composition x up to 0.13 on InP substrates by molecular beam epitaxy. Near the lattice-matched composition, i.e., y ~ 0.53, the Curie temperature increases linearly…
We perform spatial point analysis of InAs quantum dot nucleation sites and surface reconstruction domain pattern on an InAs wetting layer, giving insights for quantum dot nucleation mechanism. An InAs wetting layer grown to 1.5 monolayers…
The lattice mismatch between interesting 2D materials and commonly available 3D substrates is one of the obstacles in the epitaxial growth of monolithic 2D/3D heterostructures, but a number of 2D materials have not yet been considered for…
Elevated temperature STM measurements have shown that one key phase during gas-source homoepitaxy of Si(001) is the formation of clean Si ad-dimers from hydrogenated ad-dimers, though the mechanism for this formation is unknown. We present…
The phase transition near 40~$^{\circ }$C of both as-grown thin epitaxial MnAs films prepared by molecular beam epitaxy on GaAs(001) and nanometer-scale disks fabricated from the same films is studied. The disks are found to exhibit a…
The present study elucidates the correlation between the structural and optical properties of GaN nanowires grown on Si(111) substrate by plasma assisted molecular beam epitaxy (PA-MBE) technique under various growth conditions. GaN NWs…
Almost regular hexagonal arrays of a few micrometers tall and wide micropyramids consisting of soot nano-particles are formed on the surface of graphitized hollow filaments, which are resistively heated to ~1800$^\circ$C-2400$^\circ$C in an…
GaAs nanowires and GaAs-Fe3Si core-shell nanowire structures were grown by molecular-beam epitaxy on oxidized Si(111) substrates and characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Ga droplets were…
The molecular structure of the wetting layer of ice on Pt(111) is resolved using scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). Two structures observed previously by diffraction techniques are imaged for coverages at or close to completion of the…
In metal organic vapor phase epitaxy of GaN, the growth mode is sensitive to reactor temperature. In this study, V-pit-shaped GaN has been grown on normal c-plane cone-patterned sapphire substrate by decreasing the growth temperature of…
We report the growth of self-assembled Bi2Se3 quantum dots (QDs) by molecular beam epitaxy on GaAs substrates using the droplet epitaxy technique. The QD formation occurs after anneal of Bismuth droplets under Selenium flux.…
Developing new material platforms for use in superconductor-semiconductor hybrid structures is desirable due to limitations caused by intrinsic microwave losses present in commonly used III/V material systems. With the recent reports on…
We report on the structural properties of Ge_(1-x)Mn_x layers grown by molecular beam epitaxy. In these layers, nanocolumns with a high Mn content are embedded in an almost-pure Ge matrix. We have used grazing-incidence X-ray scattering,…
Real-time analysis of the growth modes during homoepitaxial (0001)GaN growth by plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy was performed using reflection high energy electron diffraction. A growth mode map was established as a function of Ga/N…
As progress is made on thin-film synthesis of Heusler compounds, a more complete understanding of the surface will be required to control their properties, especially as functional heterostructures are explored. Here, the surface…
The dilute-nitride ternary compound GaP$_{1-x}$N$_{x}$ is highly attractive to monolithically integrate pseudomorphic red light-emitting devices and photovoltaic cells with the standard Si technology because it is lattice matched to Si with…
The epitaxial growth conditions for silicon on germanium substrates were investigated as a function of growth temperature and monolayer coverage. Island formation was observed for the hole studied temperature range, although strong alloying…
