Abstract

We have investigated the structural and electronic properties of partially strain-relaxed InxGa1-xAs/GaAs heterojunctions, grown by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) on both misoriented and nominally flat (001) GaAs substrates. Mobility measurements using Hall bars aligned along the [110] and [1̄10] in-plane directions reveal an asymmetry in bulk InGaAs electron mobility. This asymmetry is correlated with an anisotropic bulk strain relaxation and interfacial misfit dislocation density, determined from high-resolution x-ray rocking curves (XRC), as well as a polarization anisotropy in cathodoluminescence (CL).
