Narrow Gap Superlattices for Infrared Sensor Application

Abstract

The emphasis of our research under this program is to obtain high quality narrow gap superlattices for infrared sensor applications. During this initial phase of research, all the fundamental work necessary for future achievement of high quality metastable materials has been completed. This work includes the growth of all the various buffer layer materials such as InAs, InSb, GaSb, and AlSb, the calibration of the Auger system for quick feedback of alloy composition, and the in-situ RHEED oscillation calibration of growth rate.
