摘要
The occurrence of cubic indium nitride thin layers grown by molecular beam epitaxy on top of c-plane sapphire substrates modified by an intermediate layer of cubic indium oxide is reported. An orientation relationship between the (0001) plane of Al2O3 and both (001) surfaces of body-centered cubic In2O3 and zinc-blende InN is demonstrated by means of electron and X-ray diffraction and by transmission electron microscopy. We propose that the demonstrated approach is able to stabilize the non equilibrium phase of InN (i. e., the cubic polytype) due to a low lattice mismatch together with a four fold surface atomic arrangement of the indium oxide-indium nitride interface.
