Investigation of the phase diagram of the Pb-Ga-Sb system Article uri icon

abstract

  • The growth of GaSb and its solid solutions from %27neutral%27 solvents could be useful to improve the characteristics of these materials. Pb can be used as such a %27neutral%27 solvent. The phase diagram of the system Pb-Ga-Sb was determined experimentally in a region where it could be used for liquid phase epitaxy. The results are compared with the calculated phase diagram. Photoluminescence characteristics and secondary ion mass spectroscopy analysis of samples grown from Pb containing liquid phases are discussed. © 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
