    X-RAY DIFFRACTION ANALYSIS OF PbTe/SnTe SUPERLATTICES GROWN ON Si(III) SUBSTRATES
    (2009) Șapoval, Oleg; Belenciuc, Alexandr; Fiodorov, Alexandr; Canțer, Valeriu; Zasavițchi, Efim
    The 50 period PbTe/SnTe superlattices (SLs) were grown on Si (111) substrates by hot-wall beam epitaxy (HWBE) using an intermediate fluoride buffer. The SL period varied from 6.6 to 24.0 nm with PbTe:SnTe thickness ratios of 2:1 and 1:1. The structural analysis was performed by X-ray diffraction and reflection measurement techniques. The resolution up to 8 orders of SL satellite diffraction peaks indicates well-formed SLs with sharp interfaces and long range ordering. The processing of X-ray spectra on the basis of dynamical theory of diffraction was used for estimation of individual layer thicknesses and residual strains. The differences in lattice parameters both between SL components and relative to the substrate, as well as the thermal expansion coefficient mismatch of A 4 B 6 compounds with regard to the substrate, are the reasons for the strains appearing in this SL structure. Fitted parameters of the normal lattice mismatch revealed that the SnTe layers are equally strained independent of thickness, whereas the stress of PbTe layers is progressively decreasing with thickness. In spite of residual lattice mismatch strain, the SL structures exhibited ability to full relax of the thermal mismatch strains as in the case of earlier investigated single layers of A 4 B6 grown on Si (111) coated with fluoride buffer. Our results indicate the possibility to fabricate high efficient thermoelectric coolers based on PbTe/SnTe SLs directly integrated with Si chips.

    MAGNETOTRANSPORT PROPERTIES OF ULTRATHIN LaMnO3 LAYERS
    (Technical University of Moldova, 2011-07-07) Șapoval, Oleg; Belenciuc, Alexandr; Zasavițchi, Efim; Canțer, Valeriu; Moșneaga, Vasilii
    We report the transport and magnetic properties of La-deficient ultrathin films of La1-MnO3 (LMO) grown on SrTiO3 (STO) and engineered by using different interfacial layers. LMO layer and adjusting interface oxide (LaO-STO and SMO) layers were grown by a metalorganic aerosol deposition technique with monolayer accuracy. The role of LaO-TiO2 interface in the formation of ferromagnetic metallic state in very thin LMO films was demonstrated. Ferromagnetic metallic ground state in LMO films with the thickness down to 6 monolayers is stabilized by a combination of a La-deficiency and the interface-induced doping.
