While. for ion-beam sputter-deposited films. the structure of films always kept the fcc structure during all stages of film formation. The structure of film at initial growth stages relates with the substrate. It is discussed that different film processes and different growth stages provide different thermodynamic condition of film formation and result in the different crystal structures of films during the film formation展开更多

The growth behavior of InAs in the composite film has been studied by a transmission electron microscope. It has been found that with the increasing substrate temperature, InAs in the matrix undergoes transitions from an initial dispersed phase to a fractal structure of the InAs phase, then to nucleation, and finally to grain growth. Large blueshift of the optical absorption edges of the films was observed from the optical absorption spectra. The relationship between the blueshift of optical absorption edge and the average size of the nanocrystals has been explained by the effective-mass approximation.展开更多
