A chemical short range order is found in single monolayer InAs

shells, which inherit a wurtzite structure from the underlying InAs nanowire, instead of crystallizing in the energetically preferred zincblende structure. The chemical order is characterized by an ordering vector in [0001]

and an anti-ordering vector in h1120i direction and arises from strong Sb-Sb repulsive interactions along the atomic chains in h1120i direction.

The reduced dimensionality of semiconductor nanowires (NWs) offers the unique opportunity to grow materials with crystal structures, which are otherwise unstable. One of the most prominent ex- ample is the growth of wurtzite (WZ) structure InAs NWs,[1] although stable InAs bulk material prefers the zincblende (ZB) structure. In contrast, other III-V ma- terials, notably InAs 1-x Sb x , prefer to keep their ZB bulk structure even in NWs or nanostructures with reduced dimensionality.[2, 3] However, lateral overgrowth of these ternary III-V semiconductor alloys on sidewall facets of WZ structure III-V nanowires offers the prospect to nevertheless obtain reliably a WZ structure shell, despite being unstable. Thereby new polytype structures of ternary III-V semiconductor alloys can be achieved, offering additional degrees of freedom for adjusting the band structure in, e.g., core-shell nanowires.

In addition of controlling the polytype structure, con- trolling ordering of the different chemical species in ternary III-V semiconductor alloys offers further means to tune the electrical properties. This has been am- ply demonstrated for ZB structure III-V semiconduc- tors, where a variety of different chemical ordering struc- tures were identified (i.e. chalcopyrite, CuPt, CuAu, famatinite, triple period, and lazarevicite).[4–9] In con- trast, rather little is known about chemical ordering in WZ structure III-V semiconductors. Thus far most reports on chemical ordering refer to c axis order- ing and superlattices in WZ structure group III-nitride semiconductors.[10–17] Only during growth on pyra- midal pits ordering along the pit’s semi-polar growth facets was observed.[18] In contrast to the limited ex- perimentally observed ordering structures in WZ ma- terials, theory predicts a large variety of possible or- dered WZ structures, with ordering vectors not only in c direction[19, 20], but without experimental verification yet.

Furthermore, thus far chemical ordering in III-V semiconductor alloys was identified in (quasi) three- dimensional materials, i.e. bulk or extended nanowire bulk-like sections. However, lateral overgrowth on NW sidewall facets offers the possibility to obtain monolayer thin two-dimensional ternary III-V semiconductor sheets.

At present it is fully unclear if any chemical ordering is forming in such two-dimensional WZ-structure III-V semiconductors.

Therefore, we designed a two-dimensional single mono- layer InAs 1-x Sb x WZ structure shell on sidewall facets of InAs nanowires and investigated the chemical ordering using atomically resolved scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). We identify the existence of a short-range chem- ical ordering in this WZ structure single monolayer shell.

The new type of two-dimensional ordering, called Iuli- acumite, is characterized by an ordering vector in [0001]

and an anti-ordering vector in h1120i direction. The or- dering is driven by a strong repulsive interaction of neigh- boring Sb atoms along the h1120i-oriented atomic chains on the m plane sidewall facets.

In order to fabricate two-dimensional single WZ struc- ture III-V semiconductor monolayers, [0001] oriented WZ InAs NW segments, were overgrown in-situ by InAs 1−x Sb x at 410 C using the Au-droplet assisted gas source molecular beam epitaxy. After growth, a thin capping layer of As was deposited onto the nanowires’

surfaces to prevent oxidation during transport through air into the analysis system. There, the nanowires were heated under UHV conditions to remove the capping layer. After cleaning, the NWs were cleaved-off and transferred to a freshly cleaned Si(111) surface, to in- vestigate their sidewalls in-situ by STM.[2, 9].

the investigated NWs, with the WZ structure InAs core

Since such contrast features are never observed, the second atomic layer is free of Sb, indicating the presence of only a single monolayer thick InAs

shell.

ial growth also a lateral overgrowth of WZ structure InAs 1−x Sb x on the InAs NW sidewall facets occurs (light blue). Here we focus on these overgrown (1010) side- wall facets. Figure 1(b) illustrates an atomically resolved filled-state STM image of a sidewall facet acquired at negative sample bias. Under these conditions, the filled dangling bonds above every group V atom are imaged.

First of all, the symmetry and lattice constants demon- strate that the overgrown layer kept the WZ structure

of the InAs core.[21] Second, the surface exhibits a high density of atomically sized protrusions (see magnification in Fig. 1(c)), arising from the presence of substitutional Sb atoms on As lattice positions. The contrast arises primarily from the outward relaxation induced by the Sb atoms with larger atomic radii as compared to the As atoms of the host lattice, in analogy to Sb atoms in ZB structure (110) III-V surfaces.[22]

At closer look, all protrusions exhibit identical symme- tries and intensities, centered exactly on top of a surface As sublattice position. Considering the crystal symme- try, substitutional Sb atoms in different layers in and below the surface exhibit different symmetries of the Sb contrast on the surface (Fig. 1(d)). Protrusions centered on top of surface As sublattice sites are compatible with Sb atoms incorporated on As sites in the surface layer, as schematically illustrated in the atomic model for the case labeled Sb I in Fig. 1(d). In contrast, a Sb atom in the second layer (Sb II ) is centered in between of four sur- face As atoms, which can be anticipate to relax outward due to the larger Sb atom (as indicated by the larger size of the slightly lighter blue balls representing the neigh- boring As atoms in Fig. 1(d)), in analogy to impurities in ZB structure (110) III-V semiconductor surfaces.[23–

26] Hence, a Sb atom in the second layer would create a bright contrast with a mirror symmetry in between of the atomic rows along the c direction. Such a contrast is never observed, even not in local areas free of surface Sb atoms. Hence, Sb is not present in the second layer, indi- cating that the laterally overgrown InAs 1−x Sb x shell is a two-dimensional sheet, only a single monolayer thick. A count of the Sb protrusions yield concentrations ranging between 6.3 − 9.8% for our NWs.

The above discovery of a single monolayer shell raises the question, whether (short range) chemical ordering can emerge and how it might look like in such two- dimensional WZ structure InAs 1−x Sb x monolayer sheets.

For identifying a possible short range order, we mapped

the spatial distribution of the group V elements in the

InAs 1−x Sb x monolayer shell with atomic resolution. This

chemical map is then used for an in-depth analysis of

the spatial correlation of the Sb distribution. Figure 2(a)

illustrates the two-dimensional pair-correlation function

(PCF) c(x, y) for Sb atoms. Values close to one repre-

sent statistically expected Sb pair distributions without

interactions. Hence the data shows that at larger dis-

tances no interactions are present. However, for near-

est neighbor Sb pairs along the a direction the PCF ex-

hibits values much smaller than 1, indicating a low prob-

ability of occurrence (for quantitative comparability see

Fig. 2(b)). In contrast, nearest neighbor Sb pairs in c

direction, i.e. across the atomic chains, exhibit PCF val-

ues larger than 1, indicating more frequent occurrences

than statistically expected. The results emphasize that a

short range ordering, defined by an ordering vector (v O )

rection, is present.

For a further understanding of the underlying physical mechanisms driving the ordering, we derive the so-called mean force potential W (x, y) = −kT ln[c(x, y)][27], which is a first approximation of the pair interaction potential in the low density limit. k is the Boltzmann constant and T the freeze-in temperature, below which no diffusion or site changes within the InAs 1−x Sb x monolayer occur any- more. An upper limit for T is assumed to be 623 K, the temperature used for evaporation of the As cap. The re- sulting mean force potential, shown in Figs. 2(c) and (d), reveal a strong Sb-Sb repulsion with a repulsive energy of about 35 meV in a direction and a Sb-Sb attraction with an attractive energy of about 12 meV in c direction.

Hence, the energy difference between both configurations is approximately (47 ± 11) meV.

This value is compared to density function theory com- putations of the total energy difference of an InAs(1010) surface layer that exhibits nearest neighbor Sb-Sb pairs in either c or a direction. The calculations were car-

ried out using the Vienna ab-initio simulation program (version 5.2.11).[28] All electron projector augmented wave (PAW) pseudopotentials were taken [29] using the Ceperley and Alder approximation,[30] parameterized by Perdew and Zunger for exchange and correlation energies (i.e. the Sb, As, In, H1.25 and H.75 PAW potentials).[9]

We used a kinetic energy cutoff of 312.5 eV. The calcula- tions were performed for (1010) oriented supercells with different sizes of 4×4, 4×5, and 5×5 and thicknesses of 8 as well as 10 monolayers (H terminated on back side).

The supercells were optimized until forces on atoms were smaller than 0.9 meV/˚ A. The calculations yield similar total energies for all supercells. The average energy dif- ference for Sb-Sb nearest neighbors in c and a direction is found to be 24 meV, with pairs in c direction being lower in energy. Note, nearest neighbor Sb-Sb pairs along the zigzag chains on the cubic ZB (110) surfaces exhibit a very similar bonding structure and indeed a very similar interaction energy of 33 meV was calculated and experi- mentally verified.[9]

The calculated and experimental energy differences for pairs in c and a direction are in the same order, especially the energy for pairs in c direction is lower than for those in a direction. This can be understood by considering the the incorporation of Sb atoms with larger atomic radii in the WZ crystal structure: In c direction the bond- ing structure is less rigid and nearest neighbor Sb atoms on the surface are in fact second nearest neighbor group V atoms (neglecting the interbonded group III atoms), since only every second (0001) plane is visible in filled (or empty) state STM images (see schematic in Fig. 1(d)). In contrast, for Sb pairs along the a direction the Sb atoms are much closer since they are nearest neighbor group V atoms separated only by one group III atom. This en- hances strain for such Sb pairs, in analogy with similarly bonded Sb pairs along the zigzag chain on ZB structure (110) surfaces.[9]

At this stage we compare quantitatively the measured and calculated energy differences between the Sb pairs in c and a direction. The experimental value is some- what larger than the calculated one. However, the ex- perimental determination suffers from the uncertainty of the freeze-in temperature and from many body effect in the pair interactions. First, the freeze-in temperature is an upper limit and thus lower in reality. Hence, the measured energy difference is likely overestimated and can be anticipated to be lower by roughly 10 to 15 meV.

Second, at the given Sb concentrations and interaction

ranges, many body effects in Sb-Sb interaction can be

anticipated to be present, since the ratio between con-

centration and interaction length is in analogy to that

of dopant atoms in GaAs, where many body effects were

shown to affect pair correlation functions.[31] Hence, the

mean field potential cannot be assumed to be equal to the

pair interaction energy anymore and thus many body ef-

fects affect the measured energy difference. Although a

Figure 3. Perspective view of a ball model of the two- dimensional idealized (long range) chemical ordering of the monolayer shell on the InAs sidewall facet, based on the or- dering and antiordering vectors extracted from pair correla- tion function. (a) Side and (b) top view with surface unit cell (gray shaded area) and ordering as well as anti ordering vectors shown as green and red arrows, respectively.

quantitative agreement of the measured and calculated pair interaction energies is difficult to reach due to the mentioned effects, both, the experimental and theoreti- cal results lead to the same physical conclusion, i.e. the presence of a novel short range order in a two-dimensional WZ structure InAs 1−x Sb x monolayer shell.

Now we turn to the idealized (long range) ordering structure. On basis of the ordering and antiordering vec- tors, extracted from the pair correlation function, we derive the idealized chemical ordering structure of the monolayer shell on the InAs sidewall facet. The result- ing ordering structure is shown in side and topview in Fig. 3(a) and (b), respectively. The ordering vectors are indicated and give rise to lines of only Sb atoms along the h0001i direction alternating in h1120i direction with pure As atom lines. This idealized structure is named Iuliacumite, derived from the Latin name of the city of J¨ ulich. [Lillite is already preoccupied as name. ;-) ]

Finally, this raises the question why the sidewall over- growth by WZ structure InAs 1−x Sb x is limited to only one monolayer. This limitation implies that nuclei of is- lands on top of the single monolayer shell are unstable and hence Sb atoms prefer incorporation in the axially grown upper ZB structure InAs 1−x Sb x section. This is conceivable, since InAs 1−x Sb x prefers the ZB structure even at very small Sb concentrations. However, over- growth on sidewalls facets of WZ structure InAs NWs forces InAs 1−x Sb x to crystallize in the WZ structure of the InAs core. In addition, an inward diffusion of Sb is energetically prohibited[32], hence stabilizing the single monolayer InAs 1−x Sb x WZ structure shell.

In conclusion, we identified a novel short range chemical ordering type in single monolayer InAs 1−x Sb x

wurtzite structure shells on m plane sidewall facets of

InAs nanowires by direct atomically resolved elemental mapping using scanning tunneling microscopy. The or- dering is driven by strong Sb-Sb repulsions along the atomic chains in a direction, giving rise to ordering in non-polar directions, deviating from ordering in bulk WZ structure material. This highlights the importance of spatial confinement for the formation of novel chemical ordering structures in III-V semiconductor alloys.
