We demonstrate the self-assembled growth of vertically aligned GaN nanowire ensembles on a flexible Ti foil by plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy. The analysis of single nanowires by transmission electron microscopy reveals that they are single crystalline. Low-temperature photoluminescence spectroscopy demonstrates that, in comparison to standard GaN nanowires grown on Si, the nanowires prepared on the Ti foil exhibit a equivalent crystalline perfection, a higher density of basal-plane stacking faults, but a reduced density of inversion domain boundaries. The room-temperature photoluminescence spectrum of the nanowire ensemble is not influenced or degraded by the bending of the substrate. The present results pave the way for the fabrication of flexible optoelectronic devices based on GaN nanowires on metal foils.

Recently theorized hybrid II-IV-N{_2} / III-N heterostructures, based on current commercialized (In,Ga)N devices, are predicted to significantly advance the design space of highly efficient optoelectronics in the visible spectrum, yet there are few e
pitaxial studies of II-IV-N{_2} materials. In this work, we present heteroepitaxial ZnGeN{_2} grown on GaN buffers and AlN templates. We demonstrate that a GaN nucleating surface is crucial for increasing the ZnGeN{_2} crystallization rate to combat Zn desorption, extending the stoichiometric growth window from 215 {degree}C on AlN to 500 {degree}C on GaN buffers. Structural characterization reveals well crystallized films with threading dislocations extending from the GaN buffer. These films have a critical thickness for relaxation of 20 nm - 25 nm as determined by reflection high energy electron diffraction (RHEED) and cross-sectional scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The films exhibit a cation-disordered wurtzite structure, with lattice constants a = 3.216 {AA} {pm} 0.004 {AA} and c = 5.215 {AA} {pm} 0.005 {AA} determined by RHEED and X-ray diffraction (XRD). This work demonstrates a significant step towards the development of hybrid ZnGeN{_2}-GaN integrated devices.
We investigate the influence of modified growth conditions during the spontaneous formation of GaN nanowires on Si(111) in plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy. We find that a two-step growth approach, where the substrate temperature is increased d
uring the nucleation stage, is an efficient method to gain control over the area coverage, average diameter, and coalescence degree of GaN nanowire ensembles. Furthermore, we also demonstrate that the growth conditions employed during the incubation time that precedes nanowire nucleation do not influence the properties of the final nanowire ensemble. Therefore, when growing GaN nanowires at elevated temperatures or with low Ga/N ratios, the total growth time can be reduced significantly by using more favorable growth conditions for nanowire nucleation during the incubation time.
RF plasma assisted MBE growth of Scandium Nitride (ScN) thin films on GaN (0001)/SiC, AlN (0001)/Al2O3 and on 6H-SiC (0001) hexagonal substrates is found to lead to a face centered cubic (rock-salt) crystal structure with (111) out-of-plane orientati
on instead of hexagonal orientation. For the first time, cubic (111) twinned patterns in ScN are observed by in-situ electron diffraction during epitaxy, and the twin domains in ScN are detected by electron backscattered diffraction, and further corroborated with X-ray diffraction. The epitaxial ScN films display very smooth, sub nanometer surface roughness at a growth temperature of 750C. Temperature-dependent Hall-effect measurements indicate a constant high n-type carrier concentration of ~1x1020/cm3 and electron mobilities of ~ 20 cm2/Vs.
The search for high-quality transition metal dichalcogenides mono- and multi-layers grown on large areas is still a very active field of investigation nowadays. Here, we use molecular beam epitaxy to grow 15$times$15 mm large WSe$_2$ on mica in the v
an der Waals regime. By screening one-step growth conditions, we find that very high temperature ($>$900$^{circ}$C) and very low deposition rate ($<$0.015 nm/min) are necessary to obtain high quality WSe$_2$ films. The domain size can be larger than 1 $mu$m and the in-plane rotational misorientation less than $pm$0.5$^{circ}$. The WSe$_2$ monolayer is also robust against air exposure, can be easily transferred over 1 cm$^2$ on SiN/SiO$_2$ and exhibits strong photoluminescence signal. Moreover, by combining grazing incidence x-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy, we could detect the presence of few misoriented grains. A two-dimensional model based on atomic coincidences between the WSe$_2$ and mica crystals allows us to explain the formation of these misoriented grains and gives suggestion to remove them and further improve the crystalline quality of WSe$_2$.
We present a detailed study of the growth of the tetragonal polymorph of antiferromagnetic CuMnAs by the molecular beam epitaxy technique. We explore the parameter space of growth conditions and their effect on the microstructural and transport prope
rties of the material. We identify its typical structural defects and compare the properties of epitaxial CuMnAs layers grown on GaP, GaAs and Si substrates. Finally, we investigate the correlation between the crystalline quality of CuMnAs and its performance in terms of electrically induced resistance switching.
