Notes:
We have used low-energy electron microscopy to investigate the growth of Ge on GaAs(001)-c(2×8). Depending on the growth temperature we find a wide variety of growth modes: At 420 °C growth proceeds layer by layer, with nucleation of two-dimensional (2D) islands smaller than 150 A(ring) across. An increase of growth temperature to 450–480 °C enhances surface diffusion and results in formation of large anisotropic 2D islands on wide terraces along with denuded zones—and step flow—along the step edges. Further temperature increase transforms the growth mode to step flow. At 540 °C the growth mode becomes unstable, resulting in a roughening of the Ge surface.
