Abstract

We demonstrate that the use of vicinal (001) GaAs surfaces allows twin suppression in M.B.E. grown (111) CdTe. High Resolution Electron Microscopy is used to investigate the atomic structure of and the defects present at the interfaces, as a function of cutting angle and surface preparation. A model is presented that takes into account possible coincidences of facets in CdTe and GaAs in order to explain twin suppression, layer misorientation and the type of interfacial defects.
