Popis: | Reflectance anisotropy spectroscopy (RAS) has proved itself to be extremely sensitive to both surface reconstruction and ultrathin coverages of material on semiconductor surfaces. This in situ technique therefore lends itself to monitoring the formation of low-dimensional systems in a wide range of growth environments. The following systems have been studied under molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) conditions: (i) the deposition of sub-monolayer coverages of Si, to form Si δ-layers within GaAs; (ii) the As/P exchange reaction which leads to the formation of InAs surface quantum wells on the InP(001) surface; (iii) the self-organised growth of InAs quantum dots via strain relaxation of ultrathin layers ( |
