We explore an alternative way to fabricate (In,Ga)N/GaN short-period superlattices on GaN(0001) by plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy. We exploit the existence of an In adsorbate structure manifesting itself by a $(sqrt{3}times!sqrt{3})text{R}30^{circ}$ surface reconstruction observed in-situ by reflection high-energy electron diffraction. This In adlayer accommodates a maximum of 1/3 monolayer of In on the GaN surface and, under suitable conditions, can be embedded into GaN to form an In$_{0.33}$Ga$_{0.67}$N quantum sheet whose width is naturally limited to a single monolayer. Periodically inserting these quantum sheets, we synthesize (In,Ga)N/GaN short-period superlattices with abrupt interfaces and high periodicity as demonstrated by x-ray diffractometry and scanning transmission electron microscopy. The embedded quantum sheets are found to consist of single monolayers with an In content of 0.25-0.29. For a barrier thickness of 6 monolayers, the superlattice gives rise to a photoluminescence band at 3.16 eV, close to the theoretically predicted values for these structures.

We have investigated the atomic and electronic structure of the ($sqrt{3}times sqrt{3}$)$R30^{circ}$ SnAu$_2$/Au(111) surface alloy. Low energy electron diffraction and scanning tunneling microscopy measurements show that the native herringbone recon struction of bare Au(111) surface remains intact after formation of a long range ordered ($sqrt{3}times sqrt{3}$)$R30^{circ}$ SnAu$_2$2/Au(111) surface alloy. Angle-resolved photoemission and two-photon photoemission spectroscopy techniques reveal Rashba-type spin-split bands in the occupied valence band with comparable momentum space splitting as observed for the Au(111) surface state, but with a hole-like parabolic dispersion. Our experimental findings are compared with density functional theory (DFT) calculation that fully support our experimental findings. Taking advantage of the good agreement between our DFT calculations and the experimental results, we are able to extract that the occupied Sn-Au hybrid band is of (s, d)-orbital character while the unoccupied Sn-Au hybrid bands are of (p, d)-orbital character. Hence, we can conclude that the Rashba-type spin splitting of the hole-like Sn-Au hybrid surface state is caused by the significant mixing of Au d- to Sn s-states in conjunction with the strong atomic spin-orbit coupling of Au, i.e., of the substrate.
We studied surface and electronic structures of barium stannate (BaSnO$_3$) thin-film by low energy electron diffraction (LEED), and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) techniques. BaSnO$_3$/Ba$_{0.96}$La$_{0.04}$SnO$_3$/SrTiO$_3$ (10 n m/100 nm/0.5 mm) samples were grown using pulsed-laser deposition (PLD) method and were emph{ex-situ} transferred from PLD chamber to ultra-high vacuum (UHV) chambers for annealing, LEED and ARPES studies. UHV annealing starting from 300$^{circ}$C up to 550$^{circ}$C, followed by LEED and ARPES measurements show 1$times$1 surfaces with non-dispersive energy-momentum bands. The 1$times$1 surface reconstructs into a $sqrt{2}$$times$$sqrt{2}R45^circ$ one at the annealing temperature of 700$^{circ}$C where the ARPES data shows clear dispersive bands with valence band maximum located around 3.3 eV below Fermi level. While the $sqrt{2}$$times$$sqrt{2}R45^circ$ surface reconstruction is stable under further UHV annealing, it is reversed to 1$times$1 surface by annealing the sample in 400 mTorr oxygen at 600$^{circ}$C. Another UHV annealing at 600$^{circ}$C followed by LEED and ARPES measurements, suggests that LEED $sqrt{2}$$times$$sqrt{2}R45^circ$ surface reconstruction and ARPES dispersive bands are reproduced. Our results provide a better picture of electronic structure of BaSnO$_3$ surface and are suggestive of role of oxygen vacancies in the reversible $sqrt{2}$$times$$sqrt{2}R45^circ$ surface reconstruction.
Hybrid heterostructures based on bulk GaN and two-dimensional (2D) materials offer novel paths toward nanoelectronic devices with engineered features. Here, we study the electronic properties of a mixed-dimensional heterostructure composed of intrins ic n-doped MoS2 flakes transferred on p-doped GaN(0001) layers. Based on angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) and high resolution X-ray photoemission spectroscopy (HR-XPS), we investigate the electronic structure modification induced by the interlayer interactions in MoS2/GaN heterostructure. In particular, a shift of the valence band with respect to the Fermi level for MoS2/GaN heterostructure is observed; which is the signature of a charge transfer from the 2D monolayer MoS2 to GaN. ARPES and HR-XPS revealed an interface dipole associated with local charge transfer from the GaN layer to the MoS2 monolayer. Valence and conduction band offsets between MoS2 and GaN are determined to be 0.77 and -0.51 eV, respectively. Based on the measured work functions and band bendings, we establish the formation of an interface dipole between GaN and MoS2 of 0.2 eV.

We compare the quality factor values of the whispery gallery modes of microdisks incorporating GaN quantum dots (QDs) grown on AlN and AlGaN barriers by performing room temperature photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy. The PL measurements show a large number of high Q factor (Q) resonant modes on the whole spectrum which allows us to identify the different radial mode families and to compare them with simulations. We report a considerable improvement of the Q factor which reflect the etching quality and the relatively low cavity loss by inserting QDs into the cavity. GaN/AlN QDs based microdisks show very high Q values (Q > 7000) whereas the Q factor is only up to 2000 in microdisks embedding QDs grown on AlGaN barrier layer. We attribute this difference to the lower absorption below bandgap for AlN barrier layers at the energies of our experimental investigation.
