Abstract

We present evidence for two types of ordered structures, CuAu-I and CuPt, in Zn1−xFexSe (x≈ 0.4) epilayers grown by molecular beam epitaxy. These ordered structures are observed in both electron diffraction patterns and cross-sectional high-resolution lattice images. The CuAu-I ordered structure occurs in Zn1−xFexSe epilayers grown on (001) InP substrates, while the CuPt-type occurs in epilayers grown on (001) GaAs substrates. The ordered structure of Zn1−xFexSe grown on InP substrates consists of alternating ZnSe and FeSe layers along the [001] growth direction and the [110] direction. In contrast, the ordered structure of Zn1−xFexSe grown on GaAs substrates consists of alternating ZnSe and FeSe layers along the < 111 > directions. We have also investigated the role of the misfit strain associated with the lattice mismatch between the epilayers and the substrates on the type of ordered structure.
