The growth of epitaxial InBi x Sb ð1ÀxÞ (x ¼ 4 atomic %) layers on highly lattice mis-matched semi-insulating GaAs substrates has been successfully achieved via the traditional liquid phase epitaxy, as a result of optimizing several growth parameters such as III/V mass ratio, growth temperature, cooling rate, etc. Scanning electron micrograph shows sharp interface even at 1 mm resolution. The grown films are n-type in the entire temperature range. The typical value of the carrier density is 9:2 Â 10 16 /cm 3 and the Hall mobility is 3:54 Â 10 4 cm 2 /V s at 300 K. The room temperature band gap has been found to be in the range of 0.134-0.140 eV. These results indicate that the grown films are comparable to those grown by other sophisticated techniques in terms of structural, optical and electrical properties. r
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
