Anomalous compositional pulling effect in InGaN/GaN multiple quantum wells
A series of InGaN/GaN multiple quantum wells (MQWs) was grown by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition with different well thickness. High-resolution x-ray diffraction studies revealed that the In co...

We explore the morphological stability during the growth of strained multilayer structures in a dynamical model which describes the coupling of elastic fields, wetting effect, and deposition process. We quantitatively show the significant influence of the wetting effect on the stability properties, in particular for short-period multilayers. Our results are qualitatively similar to recent experimental observations in AlAs/InAs/InP(001) system. We also give predictions for strain-balanced multilayers. ©2003 American Institute of Physics.
