摘要
Observation of long range atomic ordering in InGaN films grown by molecular beam epitaxy on A-plane sapphire is reported, based on x-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy studies. The InGaN films have a domain structure, with alternating domains of ordered and disordered phases, close to the film/substrate interface. Closer to the film surface, disordered domains are no longer observed. The degree of ordering was found to increase with growth rate (at the low growth rates used in these materials), which is consistent with ordering being a surface phenomenon.
