Abstract
We have successfully grown high crystalline quality ErGaAs alloy layers by solid-source molecular beam epitaxy. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) peak of ErGaAs alloys was found to shift systematically from the GaAs peak with increasing Er concentration up to 3.7%. XRD (1 1 5) reciprocal space map measurements revealed that the ErGaAs epitaxial layer is coherently grown on GaAs. We found from XRD results that ErGaAs alloys with low Er concentrations tend to crystallize in the zincblende structure.
