Paper Abstract

The material physics of digitally grown InAlGaAs quaternary alloy systems are investigated using Molecular Beam Epitaxy (MBE) grown layers. With MBE, arbitrary epitaxial alloy compositions can be achieved, without changing the group III elemental constituents flux rates, by simple sequential shuttering of the relevant fluxes. Monolayer fluctuations create inhomogeneities that lead to a broadening of the photoluminescence (PL) spectra. Multiple PL peaks are also seen in select alloy compositions.
