    Notes: The development of composite materials incorporating both II-VI and III-V compound semiconductors, such as ZnSe and GaAs, leads to the possibility of a variety of new devices of potential importance to the communications industry. In many cases, such as those involving resonant tunneling junctions and quantum well structures, the quality of the interface between the different compound semiconductors determines the ultimate quality of the device itself. Therefore, we have investigated the factors determining this interface quality for the GaAs/ZnSe system as prepared by molecular beam epitaxy. In this system, the stoichiometry of the substrate is of paramount importance. An excess of one constituent leads to high local electrical fields and poor interface morphology. Optimum growth of ZnSe on GaAs is achieved with GaAs substrate surfaces having a stoichiometry intermediate between the As- and Ga-rich extremes. We will describe a model that defines the conditions for good interface formation and summarize experimental evidence which supports the validity of this model.

    Notes: The quality of heteroepitaxial growth of II-VI materials on III-V substrates, such as ZnSe on GaAs(100), depends strongly on the atomic structure and stoichiometry of the substrate. We define and describe those structures that optimize heteroepitaxial interface growth on GaAs(100) and related surfaces, and propose specific models for the c(6×4), "3×1'', (4×6), an As-lean version of the (2×4), and Se substitutional such as the (4×3). It is proposed that a good heteroepitaxial interface, with no extraneous fields and no charge imbalance, is achieved with substrate structures which lead directly to the appropriate interface stoichiometry.

    Notes: Epitaxial thin films of ZnSe grown on GaAs substrates were reactive ion etched using BCl3 /Ar gas mixtures. Using an optimized etching process, photolithographically defined micrometer sized structures were etched several micrometers deep with straight sidewalls and smooth surfaces. Cathodoluminescence was measured from both etched and unetched surfaces at room temperature. Luminescence intensities of etched surfaces are shown not to be degraded by the reactive ion etching process. Cathodoluminescence intensities of etched pixels with exposed sidewalls were found to be greater than the intensities measured from unetched flat surfaces. This suggests the possibility of efficient etched light-emitting structures.

    Notes: A new approach to doping in ZnSe, which involves Ga deposition in spatially separated atomic planes (planar doping), is reported. The dependence of doping efficiency on the particular surface termination (Zn or Se stabilized) maintained during the deposition of the Ga dopant is investigated by Hall measurements and low-temperature photoluminescence spectroscopy, and the results are compared to those obtained for uniform doping. Under our growth conditions and for the same average amount of Ga atoms arriving at the ZnSe surface, the doping efficiency is dramatically enhanced in the case of Ga planar doping on Zn terminated surfaces. This enhancement correlates with the reduction of the broad deep luminescence bands that dominate under the other doping conditions, indicating an effective reduction of the self-compensating mechanisms. Under optimized conditions, n-type ZnSe with carrier concentration in the 1018 cm−3 range is achieved.

    Notes: We present low-temperature ZnSe photoluminescence spectra having very narrow bound exciton linewidths (0.55 meV), which demonstrate for the first time that thin, pseudomorphic ZnSe layers with minimal inhomogeneous strain can be grown directly on GaAs by molecular beam epitaxy. Similar characterization of ZnSe/AlAs/GaAs heterostructures shows that AlAs layers up to 4 μm thick exhibit only kinetically limited, partial lattice relaxation, which prevents the overgrowth of uniform, coherently strained ZnSe layers. However, pseudomorphic ZnSe/AlAs/GaAs structures with thin ((approximately-less-than)0.5 μm) AlAs layers exhibit the narrowest bound exciton peaks ((approximately-less-than)0.37 meV full width at half maximum) ever reported for heteroepitaxial ZnSe, indicating a high degree of structural perfection.

    Notes: We report photoluminescence and photoconductivity measurements on single InAs quantum wells under a 3.4% biaxial compression. The photoluminescence line, which is in the 1.2–1.6 μm wavelength range depending on well thickness, is interpreted as recombination between electrons and holes distributed over a range of confined energy states associated with quantum well width fluctuations. Photoconductivity is found to provide spectroscopic measurements of the optical transitions even for single, extremely thin quantum wells. We find excellent agreement between the measured transition energies and the result of an envelope function calculation taking into account the effect of both strain and quantum confinement.

    Notes: Strained In0.52Al0.48As/InAs single quantum wells have been grown by molecular beam epitaxy on InP substrates and their structural quality and commensurability demonstrated by transmission electron microscopy. Intense photoluminescence in the wavelength range of 1.2–1.6 μm for well widths between 10 and 30 A(ring) was obtained, indicating a very efficient carrier collection into the highly (3.4%) biaxially compressed InAs wells.

    Notes: Room-temperature and low-temperature (1.7-K) photoluminescence (PL) characteristics of heteroepitaxial ZnSe layers on GaAs which are doped with Ga by either conventional (bulk) or planar doping techniques are described. Low-temperature PL peaks at 2.27 and 2.0 eV involving deep acceptor levels are introduced by Ga doping, as well as newly reported shallow acceptor levels with binding energies of approximately 68 and 85 meV. The behavior of these peaks and the excitonic transitions is studied as a function of Ga-doping level and, for the case of the planar-doped layers, surface stoichiometry during doping. The exciton peaks exhibit substantially greater broadening for doping on Zn-rich surfaces than for Se-rich surfaces, corresponding to the higher carrier concentrations observed by electrical measurements in the former case. The deep acceptor levels are found to be incorporated to a lesser degree for doping on Zn-rich surfaces, while the incorporation of the 85-meV acceptor is enhanced in this case. The net electrical compensation is evidently dominated by the behavior of the deep levels. The results are explained by assuming that both deep levels involve donor-Zn vacancy complexes, whose formation is suppressed by the excess Zn flux supplied during the planar-doping process. A comparison of the exciton spectra of nominally undoped and bulk Ga-doped samples is used to demonstrate that the residual donor in the undoped material is Ga.

    Notes: Epitaxial films grown by coevaporation of Co and Cu on Cu(111) were investigated by low-energy electron diffraction and surface magneto-optical Kerr-effect measurements. The films are dominantly face-centered-cubic stacked up to high Co concentrations and exhibit ferromagnetism. Their coercivity is significantly reduced compared to pure Co films produced by thermal Co deposition on Cu(111) independent of the use of Pb as a surfactant. © 2000 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Background:  Bakery workers may develop IgE-mediated allergy to liquid and aerosolized hen's egg proteins that are commonly used in the baking and confectionery industries.Methods:  We studied four bakery workers who had work-related allergic respiratory symptoms upon exposure to egg aerosols. The causative role of egg proteins in their respiratory symptoms was investigated by immunologic and specific inhalation challenge (SIC) tests.Results:  Skin prick tests to egg white extract and to lysozyme gave positives responses in all the subjects, to ovalbumin in two, to ovomucoid in one and to egg yolk in two subjects. They were also sensitized to wheat, rye and barley flours. Specific IgE determinations to egg white were positive in all patients, to lysozyme in two, to ovalbumin in three, to ovomucoid in two and to egg yolk in two of them. Methacholine inhalation tests revealed bronchial hyperresponsiveness in all workers (PC20 〈 16 mg/ml). SICs were performed with aqueous extracts of lysozyme (n = 4), ovalbumin (n = 2) and ovomucoid (n = 1), which elicited isolated early asthmatic reactions in all subjects. Double-blind, placebo-controlled, oral challenge tests with raw egg white were positive in three subjects.Conclusions:  These bakery workers had developed IgE-mediated occupational asthma to hen's egg white proteins.
