    Notes: Ultrathin InGaAs/InP single quantum well structures, grown by chloride transport vapor levitation epitaxy, have been investigated by low-temperature photoluminescence (PL). Well-resolved multiple peaks are observed in the PL spectra, instead of an expected single peak. We attribute this to monolayer (a0/2=2.93 A(ring)) variations in quantum well (QW) thickness. Separate peak positions for QW thicknesses corresponding to 2–6 monolayers have been determined, providing an unambiguous thickness calibration for spectral shifts due to quantum confinement. The PL peak corresponding to two monolayers occurs at 1.314 eV, corresponding to an energy shift of 524 meV. Experimental data agree very well with a simple effective mass theory.

    Notes: We propose and demonstrate a technique for artifically bunching the atomic steps on a vicinal substrate to form supersteps of almost arbitrary height. The process involves the etching of a grating of parallel grooves on the surface of a vicinal substrate followed by epitaxial growth that fills the grooves. Steps of height proportional to the period of the grating and the substrate misorientation angle are formed. The technique is demonstrated on a macroscopic scale for the InP/InGaAs material system using chloride transport vapor levitation epitaxy, resulting in InGaAs wire-like structures confined both horizontally and vertically by InP. The growth of quantum wires and laterally periodic superlattices should be possible using this technique with proper scaling of parameters.

    Notes: Periodic stimulation of a growth instability on (001) vicinal surfaces of InP and InGaAs induces a corrugated growth interface. When this interface is incorporated into a superlattice the two-dimensional quantum well coalesces into a periodic structure comprised of InGaAs filaments buried in an InP matrix. We have measured the transport in this system by contactless submillimeter wave spectroscopy and show that the electron motion is confined to these filaments, and we have determined the electron density and mobility in these submicrometer filaments.

    Notes: A one-side modulation-doped quantum well of InGaAs lattice matched to InP has been used to investigate many-body effects in a quasi-two-dimensional (2D) electron gas. The sample was grown by vapor levitation epitaxy (VLE). Low-temperature photoluminescence (PL) measurements were carried out under different optical excitation intensities using 5145 A(ring) line from an argon ion laser. By increasing the laser intensity over five orders of magnitude a 13.2 meV blue shift in the PL line was observed to occur for a single asymmetric quantum well having a 2D electron gas density as low as 0.9×1011 cm−2. The observed blue shift is explained in terms of the reduction of both band bending (of the order of 1.8 meV) and many-body effects (of the order of 11.4 meV) due to the reduction of the 2D electron gas density in the quantum well. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: We have discovered that hydroxide-coated In0.53Ga0.47Ag has the lowest known surface recombination velocity of any III-V semiconductor. To demonstrate the excellent electronic quality of such interfaces, we have measured the quantum shifts in the room-temperature luminescence spectrum of "naked'' In0.53Ga0.47As quantum wells (i.e., quantum wells with one face uncovered) in the thickness range 15–50 A(ring). These nearly ideal electronic surfaces should allow the fabrication of lateral quantum confinement structures that operate at room temperature.

    Notes: We investigate a morphological instability that causes an InGaAs/InP multiquantum well structure grown on a vicinal (001) InP surface to spontaneously evolve into an array of InGaAs quasi-one-dimensional filaments buried in an InP matrix. To explain this behavior, we propose a step-flow growth model involving different lateral growth velocities for heteroepitaxy and homoepitaxy. A computer simulation based on the model agrees closely with the experiment.

    Notes: A new source of cadmium diffusion in In0.53Ga0.47As has been developed. Langmuir–Blodgett (LB) deposited monolayers of cadmium arachidate have been used as a source of cadmium. The LB film has been characterized by grazing incidence infrared spectroscopy and Auger electron spectroscopy. Acceptor profiles obtained by differential Hall technique are presented. Highly doped (NA =2×1019 cm−3) shallow (xj ≈0.1–0.4 μm), p+-n junctions are obtained. Mesa-type p-i-n diodes with 125 μm diameter, ideality factor =1.3, Idark =5 nA at 20 V reverse bias, and Vbreakdown =30 V have been fabricated.

    Notes: We show that macroscopic, as opposed to microscopic, steps can be obtained on a semiconductor vicinal surface when a perturbation has been "printed'' on it, prior to epitaxial growth. This generic crystal growth concept has been studied here with the GaAs/AlGaAs system using organometallic chemical vapor deposition. The details of step formation, stabilization, and subsequent propagation have been investigated with scanning electron microscopy. Regular, sawtooth-like growth patterns have been obtained, with periodic growth rate differences at the step edges. This novel lateral patterning technique was employed to fabricate arrays of quantum wire-like heterostructures.

    Notes: We demonstrate the fabrication of an InGaAs/InP heterojunction bipolar transistor (HBT) with a reduced base-collector overlap area using selective epitaxy techniques. The process uses planarizing growth by chloride-transport vapor-phase epitaxy (VPE) to create a buried subcollector layer, followed by selective regrowth by organometallic VPE. The quality of the regrowth over the planarized substrates is evident from the dc characteristics of the HBT which show an ideality factor η=1.05 for the base-emitter junction.

    Notes: Abstract Neuropeptide Y (NPY) inhibits electrogenic Cl secretion in rat jejunal epithelium under voltage clamp conditions. This effect is dependent upon endogenous eicosanoid formation since it is blocked by the cyclooxygenase inhibitor, piroxicam, which itself has an inhibitory action upon chloride secretion. A number of chloride secretagogues have been examined for their ability to restore the antisecretory effects of NPY. Data presented here shows that NPY responsiveness is restored, in piroxicam pretreated tissues, by vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP), forskolin, prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) isobutyl-1-methyl-xanthine (IBMX) and dibutyryl cAMP added prior to the neuropeptide. While all these agents cause chloride secretion by elevating intracellular cAMP, NPY is also effective in inhibiting the secretory effects of carbachol (CCh) and substance P (SP), agents believed to act by raising intracellular calcium (Cai). Although there is evidence that NPY can inhibit adenylate cyclase, its ability to attenuate chloride secretion brought about by secretagogues acting through both adenylate cyclase and calcium mechanisms, implies that NPY has either a more general fundamental mechanism or has multiple interactions with different second messenger systems.
