Abstract

Abstract ( AlAs ) 1 2 ( GaAs ) 1 2 fractional-layer superlattices (FLSs) are grown on a (001) vicinal substrate by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD). FLSs are new types of lateral superlattice with a period of 4–20 nm. The uniform superlattice period is observed over a large surface area by bright field transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The results suggest the ideal growth from a kink site occurs during MOCVD growth, and the distances between kink sites are equal. Polarization-dependent photoluminescence and optical absorption spectra of FLSs are also observed. Electron wave interference devices with a lateral periodic potential have been fabricated.
