Notes:
The effects of growth temperature on the microscopic structure of GaN nucleation layers were studied in a synchrotron x-ray scattering experiment. As the growth temperature increases from 467 to 655 °C, the stacking of GaN changes from random stacking to a mixture of cubic and hexagonal stacking. With increasing the growth temperature, the order in the atomic layer positions in the out-of-plane direction increases and the mosaic distribution becomes narrow. The optimal photoluminescence spectrum was obtained on the GaN epilayer deposited on the nucleation layer grown at 505 °C. © 1999 American Institute of Physics.
