While significant strides have been made in the optimization of GaN-based devices on foreign substrates, a more attractive alternative would be homoepitaxy on GaN substrates. The primary motivation of this work is to explore the growth of thick films of GaN from the melt for the ultimate use as substrate material. We have previously demonstrated the synthesis of polycrystalline, wurtzitic gallium nitride and indium nitride by saturating gallium metal and indium metal with atomic nitrogen from a microwave plasma source. Plasma synthesis avoids the high equilibrium pressures required when molecular nitrogen is used as the nitrogen source. Here we report …

We present a study of the evolution of the valence bandstructure of Fe/Cu(100) as a function of Fe coverage in the 0–12 monolayer range. Angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy was used to probe the valence electronic structure and to extract Fermi surface contours as a function of increasing Fe coverage. The first few monolayers show Fe-induced densities of states that are significantly different from those in thicker films. At 5 ML, distinct changes occur in the Fermi surface, where a magnetization reorientation transition has been observed previously.
