Unintentional As incorporation into AlSb and interfacial layers within InAs/AlSb superlattices
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The InAs/AlSb material system has proven to be an excellent choice for high-performance mid-infrared quantum cascade lasers. In this work, an unintentional displacement of Sb by residual As flux incident on the wafer was studied by direct monitoring of such flux during a simulated molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) growth sequence and dynamical simulations of high-resolution x-ray diffraction data collected on InAs/AlSb periodic structures grown under similar conditions. The results revealed that predominantly Al–As bonds detected at the InAs/AlSb interfaces, which were reported earlier, can be attributed to a residual bypass As flux on the wafer after closing the As shutter. Moreover, the experiments revealed that under typical growth conditions, AlSb binary barriers are converted into AlAsSb ternary layers with appreciable As content. The exact As content in the barriers is proportional to the effective As flux bypassing the closed shutter and thus depends on the particulars of the MBE system design and the exact As flux used for the growth of InAs wells.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
