Formation and structural investigation of MnSb dots on S-passivated GaAs(001) substrates
We have succeeded in fabricating nanoscale manganese antimonide (MnSb) dots on GaAs substrates by molecular beam epitaxy. Sulfur passivated surfaces were used to decrease the surface energy and to form MnSb dots on the substrate. Morphologies of the dots were investigated by atomic force microscopy, Different growth modes which arose from a difference in growth temperatures were observed,
