Abstract

Ordered-GaInP/GaAs heterostructures have been studied using ballistic-electron-emission microscopy (BEEM). The GaInP/GaAs conduction band offset was found to decrease with increasing order. Samples were grown simultaneously on different misoriented substrates to vary the degree of order in the GaInP. Concurrent scanning tunneling microscopy and BEEM images show ridge structures in the topography and contrast in the BEEM current that may correspond to ordered domains in the GaInP. Room temperature conduction band offsets of 137 and 86 meV were measured using BEEM spectroscopy for GaInP with 2 K band gaps of 1.97 and 1.89 eV, respectively.
