Indium Gallium Nitride on Germanium by Molecular Beam Epitaxy
Indium containing III-Nitride layers are predominantly grown by heteroepitaxy on foreign substrates, most often Al2O3, SiC and Si. We have investigated the epitaxial growth of InxGa1-xN (InGaN) alloys on Ge subst...

On the stability of bcc Co in Co/Fe superlattices an NMR and XRD study
While RHEED observations show that 10 to 11 As is the stability limit for an open bcc Co layer when grown on an Fe substrate, our XRD and NMR studies have shown that, in MBE grown Co/Fe superlattices, cobalt c...
