Abstract

The ordered structure in a (100) GaAs0.5 Sb0.5 epilayer grown by molecular beam epitaxy has been studied by transmission electron microscopy. Domain structures are observed in dark field images of superstructure reflections. The ordered structure is derived by the analysis of diffraction patterns taken from single domains. The ordered structure is described as an alternate stacking of As and Sb planes in the <111> direction of the FCC sublattice. The alternate stacking of As and Sb plane is directly observed by high resolution electron microscopy.
