Abstract

In-situ reflection high energy electron diffraction total reflection angle X-ray spectroscopy (RHEED-TRAXS) was performed to monitor alloy composition at the surface during growth of nitrides by RF-MBE for the first time. TRAXS signal of the GaLα line is found to be more sensitive to the composition at the surface than the GaKαline. A difference in the composition of layer adsorbed on the surface and the solid alloy layer has been identified.
