Abstract

Single layers of ZnSe, ZnS xSe 1-x and Zn 1-yMn yS xSe 1-x were grown on the GaAs(001). Real-time reflection high energy electron diffraction was used to study the initial growth of ZnSe(001) on GaAs(001) under different conditions. Exposure of the GaAs substrate to Se flux before growth led to three-dimensional growth, whereas exposure to Zn flux led to two dimensional-growth. ZnS xSe 1-x and Zn 1-yMn yS xSe 1-x (energy gap less than 2.9 eV) layers with the lattice constant closely matched to that of GaAs have been grown with a good reproducibility.
