摘要
Molecular-beam epitaxial growth of GaAs on (100)ScxEr1-xAs can result in domains of various orientations. Most of the GaAs domains are of the epitaxial (100) or the twin related (221) orientation. A {lll} orientation is also common. We have studied the orientational relationships of these domains by transmission electron microscopy. The polarity of small {111}GaAs domains on (100)ScErAs have been determined by electron channeling. We observe that the polarity is such that the GaAs [111BAR] direction (as opposed to the [111] one) points outward from the original ScxEr1-xAs(100) surface. We use this observation in discussing possible models of the interface between ScErAs and GaAs.
