Abstract

Using N-rich growth conditions, amorphous domains were formed in the initial stage of a cyclotron assisted MBE of GaN grown over 6H-SiC (0001) without any buffer layer. These domains are facetted along {1010} prismatic planes. Their density is about 1010cm-2 and they are mainly located in a 50 nm layer close to the substrate surface.
