Abstract

We have investigated ZnSSe and ZnMgSSe epitaxial layers lattice-matched to GaAs (001) substrates grown by molecular beam epitaxy using atomic force microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. Under II-rich conditions with c(2x2) surface reconstruction, surface morphology exhibited corrugation aligned in the [1ī0] direction and composition modulation was observed in the same [1ī0] direction. Under VI-rich condition with (2x1) surface reconstruction, the surface morphology becomes rounded grain-like and composition modulation was not observed. The formation of composition modulation is associated with the surface corrugated structures.
