The presence of two species of both cations and anions permits the construction of InAs/AlSb heterostructures with either AlAs- or InSb-like interfaces. InAs/AlSb superlattices with both types of interfaces were grown using migration-enhanced epitaxial techniques. The layer quality and control of interfacial composition were confirmed by x-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, and photoluminescence measurements. We demonstrate that high-quality superlattices with both InSb- and AlAs-bonded interfaces can be achieved with appropriate growth temperatures.
