摘要
The structure of GaAs quantum wires embedded in Al0.33Ga0.67As and the interfaces between the wires and the matrix were investigated by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) in diffraction-contrast and high-resolution (HREM) modes. The quantum wires were regrown by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) On patterned Al0.33Ga0.67As buffer layers on GaAs substrates. Depending on the orientation of the quantum wires within the (100) surface of the substrate, different characteristic facets develop during MBE regrowth of the mesa-etched samples. The surface structure for [011]- and [0 (1) over bar 1]-oriented wires is dominated by (111) and (311) facets. The (111) planar defects like stacking faults and twins are frequently observed in the case of (111) facet growth. Mainly (110) facet formation is found for [001]- and [010]-oriented wires; planar defects are not detected in this case.
