Journal ArticleDOI
Inversion of wurtzite GaN(0001) by exposure to magnesium
V. Ramachandran,Randall M. Feenstra,Wendy L. Sarney,Lourdes Salamanca-Riba,John E. Northrup,L. T. Romano,David W. Greve +6 more
TL;DR: Magnesium incorporation during the molecular-beam epitaxy growth of wurtzite GaN is found to invert the Ga-polar (0001) face to the N-polic face, and a structural model is presented for the inversion.
Journal ArticleDOI
Preparation of atomically flat surfaces on silicon carbide using hydrogen etching
TL;DR: In this paper, a model based on the symmetry of the SiC unit cell and crystal miscut was proposed for 6H and 4H-SiC(0001) surfaces.
Journal ArticleDOI
Surface Reconstruction during Molecular Beam Epitaxial Growth of GaN (0001)
Arthur R. Smith,V. Ramachandran,Randall M. Feenstra,David W. Greve,A.J. Ptak,Thomas H. Myers,Wendy L. Sarney,Lourdes Salamanca-Riba,M. Shin,Marek Skowronski +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, surface reconstructions during homoepitaxial growth of GaN (0001) are studied using reflection high-energy electron diffraction and scanning tunneling microscopy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Wurtzite GaN surface structures studied by scanning tunneling microscopy and reflection high energy electron diffraction
Arthur R. Smith,V. Ramachandran,Randall M. Feenstra,David W. Greve,M.-S. Shin,Marek Skowronski,Jörg Neugebauer,John E. Northrup +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the surface reconstructions for both the Ga-face and the N-face of wurtzite GaN films grown using molecular beam epitaxy were studied.
Journal ArticleDOI
Structure of clean and arsenic-covered GaN(0 0 0 1) surfaces
V. Ramachandran,C. D. Lee,Randall M. Feenstra,Arthur R. Smith,John E. Northrup,David W. Greve +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of trace arsenic on the growth and surface structure of GaN(0, 0,0,0, 1) has been studied and it was shown that a small background pressure of arsenic leads to an arsenic-terminated surface displaying a 2×2 reconstruction during growth which is absent for the clean surface.
