摘要

We report the formation and phase transformation of Bi-containing clusters in GaAs_(1-x) Bi_x epilayers upon annealing. The GaAs_(1-x) Bi_x layers were grown by molecular beam epitaxy under low (220℃) and high (315℃) temperatures and subsequently annealed using different temperatures and annealing times. Bi-containing clusters were identified only in the annealed samples that were grown at low temperature, revealing a relatively homogeneous size distribution. Depending on the annealing temperature and duration, the clusters show different sizes ranging from 5 to 20 nm, as well as different crystallographic phase, being coherently strained zincblende GaAs_(1-x) Bi_x (zb Bi-rich Ga(As, Bi)) clusters or rhombohedral pure Bi (rh-Bi) clusters. We found that: (1) the formation of the zb Bi-rich Ga(As, Bi) clusters is driven by the intrinsic tendency of the alloy to phase separately and is mediated by the native point defects present in the low temperature grown epilayers; (2) the phase transformation from zb Bi-rich Ga (As, Bi) to rh-Bi nucleates in zincblende {111} planes and grows until total consumption of Bi in the GaAs matrix. We propose a model accounting for the formation and phase transformation of Bi-containing clusters in this system. Furthermore, our study reveals the possibility to realize self-organized zb Bi-rich Ga(As, Bi) clusters that can exhibit QD-like features.
