X-ray diffraction characterization of ternary artificial superlattices

چکیده

Thin films of alternating Au, Ag, and Cu wedge-shaped metal layers were made by magnetron sputtering in order to develop a method for investigation of a multicomponent systems. X-ray-diffraction patterns of all as-deposited samples revealed satellites in the vicinity of ( 111) reflections, evidence of composition-modulated artificial superlattice formation. The experimental spectra are well explained by the kinematical diffraction theory for imperfect superlattices. Computer simulations have demonstrated extremely high sensitivity to the fluctuations AH/H of the superlattice period H. As a result, a rapid and simple method of AH/H determination is proposed.

Studies on Structural and Optical Characterization of In-Zn-S Ternary Thin Films Prepared by Spray Pyrolysis

Thin films of indium doped zinc sulfide (ZnS) for different indium (In) concentrations (x=0.0 - 0.8) were deposited onto glass substrate by spray pyrolysis method at 523K temperature. Aqueous solution of zinc acetate, indium chloride and thiorea were used to deposit the In-Zn-S film. The deposited thin films were characterized by Energy dispersive X-ray (EDX), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM)...

Formation of rotation-induced superlattices and their observation by tunneling spectroscopy

We show that superlattices can be formed in the ternary and quaternary ln(GaAl)As alloys on InP by molecular beam epitaxy without mechanical shuttering. Periodic ordering is produced by rotation of the substrate through the naturally nonuniform distribution of beam fluxes at the rotating substrate. The growth rate and substrate rotation rate together determine the superlattice period which is m...
