摘要
The structural perfection of (In,Ga)As- and GaAs quantum wells and distrubuted Bragg reflectors for cavity structures on (110)GaAs grown by molecular-beam epitaxy is investigated. The relaxation mechanism of accumulated elastic strain is studied by transmission electron microscopy. Defferences to structures with (001) orientation are addressed.The use of short-period superlattices for Bragg mirrors stabilizes the structures grown on (110)GaAs against relaxation-based defect formation as well as degradation of bare sidewalls shen exposed to ambient air.
