Description

GaAs1-xBix alloys were grown on GaAs by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). The lattice constants perpendicular and parallel to the surface of epilayers were estimated by high-resolution X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. The GaBi molar fraction was estimated by the Rutherford backscattering spectroscopy (RBS). GaAs1-xBix epilayers with GaBi molar fractions less than 5% were almost coherently grown on GaAs substrate with compressive strain. The lattice mismatch between GaAs1-xBix (x=5%) and GaAs was estimated to be approximately 0.5%. (author)
