摘要
Several monolayers (ML) of CdSe were deposited on (001) GaAs surfaces to study the stability of the CdSe films. The CdSe film with the 2 ML thickness showed atomically flat surfaces just after the growth. However, in three days after the growth, self-organization into dots at room temperature was clearly observed. This unexpected self-organization of dots observed at room temperature from the once coherently-grown CdSe film will be closely correlated to the enhancement of the heterointerface diffusion observed in this combination of CdSe and GaAs. This correlation between the stability of the dots and the heterointerface diffusion was examined in the common cation case of ZnZe/ZnS, which is known to show low interface diffusion. Self-organization of ZnSe dots was observed with an atomic force microscope on (001) ZnS surfaces. The ZnSe dots were stable as expected and did not show instability such as observed for the CdSe dots on GaAs or on ZnSe. (C) 1997 American Institute of Physics.
