Surface Treatment and Layer Structure in 2H-GaN Grown on the (0001)Si surface of 6H-SiC by MBE
Heteroepitaxy of hexagonal symmetry materials is more complicated than in the more usual case of cubic systems. In the growth of layers on the (0001) surfaces, the misfit dislocations always exhibit a screw co...
