Abstract

A new pathway for spontaneous superlattice formation baed upon competing surface reactions at the growth front during Si1-yCy(001) GS-MBE is presented. The superlattice structures, consisting of alternating Si-rich and C-rich layers, had highly regular periodicity extending over the entire substrate area due to a self-arresting feedback loop in the surface-reaction pathways.
