β¦ Synopsis
Atomic layer epitaxy (ALE) is investigated for the growth of CdTe/MnTe superlattices. A systematic structural characterization (X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy), together with a magneto-optical study (reflectivity and photoluminescence), demonstrate that:
(i) for MnTe ALE, all deposited Mn atoms are incorporated, so that no autoregulated growth mode can be obtained, in contrast with CdTe ALE, (ii) atomic layer epitaxy allows well-controlled CdTe/MnTe superlattices to be achieved but does not prevent the exchange between Cd and Mn atoms which occurs at the interfaces between CdTe and MnTe, as observed in CdTe/MnTe superlattices grown by conventional molecular beam epitaxy.

High quality AlGaN nanocolumns have been grown by molecular beam epitaxy on Si(111) substrates. Scanning Electron Microscopy micrographs show hexagonal, single crystal columns with diameters in the range of 30 to 60 nm. The nominal Al content of the nanocolumns was changed from 16% to 40% by selecti
