Title: Advances in complex oxide quantum materials through new approaches to molecular beam epitaxy
Molecular beam epitaxy (MBE), a workhorse of the semiconductor industry, has progressed rapidly in the last few decades in the development of novel materials. Recent developments in condensed matter and materials physics have seen the rise of many novel quantum materials that require ultra-clean and high-quality samples for fundamental studies and applications. Novel oxide-based quantum materials synthesized using MBE have advanced the development of the field and materials. In this review, we discuss the recent progress in new MBE techniques that have enabled synthesis of complex oxides that exhibit ‘quantum’ phenomena, including superconductivity and topological electronic states. We show how these techniques have produced breakthroughs in the synthesis of 4d and 5d oxide films and heterostructures that are of particular interest as quantum materials. These new techniques in MBE offer a bright future for the synthesis of ultra-high quality oxide quantum materials.  more » « less

    Ultra-high purity elemental sources have long been considered a prerequisite for obtaining low impurity concentrations in compound semiconductors in the world of molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) since its inception in 1968. However, we demonstrate that a “dirty” solid precursor, ruthenium(III) acetylacetonate [also known as Ru(acac)3], can yield single-phase, epitaxial, and superconducting Sr2RuO4 films with the same ease and control as III–V MBE. A superconducting transition was observed at ∼0.9 K, suggesting a low defect density and a high degree of crystallinity in these films. In contrast to the conventional MBE, which employs the ultra-pure Ru metal evaporated at ∼2000 °C as a Ru source, along with reactive ozone to obtain Ru → Ru4+ oxidation, the use of the Ru(acac)3 precursor significantly simplifies the MBE process by lowering the temperature for Ru sublimation (less than 200 °C) and by eliminating the need for ozone. Combining these results with the recent developments in hybrid MBE, we argue that leveraging the precursor chemistry will be necessary to realize next-generation breakthroughs in the synthesis of atomically precise quantum materials.

    The ability to synthesize new materials with unique functionalities has provided the foundation for modern electronics and for new discoveries. Oxide molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) has played a vital role in this endeavor. In this chapter, key fundamental concepts discussing the physics of complex oxides, followed by the important role of oxide MBE, are presented. Recent technical advances, current and potential challenges, and advantages of an oxide MBE are reviewed. Important factors responsible for electronic-quality oxide films – including of those metals that are difficult to oxidize – are discussed, with particular emphasis on new developments with radical-based MBE approaches. Taking analogy from III–V MBE, the current status and future prospects of oxide MBE are discussed in developing oxide electronics operating at room temperature.

    Designing novel photonic materials relies on the ability to modulate semiconductor band structure with monolayer precision. We employ conduction band engineering and modifications of the molecular-beam epitaxy (MBE) process to tune the optical transitions of Sc0.14Al0.86N/GaN/Al(Sc)N/GaN double quantum well (DQW) structures above 800 meV. The incorporation of rare-earth scandium into traditional nitride semiconductors opens new design space by enabling low-defect nitride heterostructures lattice-matched to GaN. However, recent studies found that significant intermixing at interfaces considerably distorts the band profile of ultra-thin GaN/ScAlN quantum wells. To overcome these challenges, the structure–property relationships of Sc-containing DQWs were assessed by correlating infrared intersubband absorption with high-resolution x-ray diffraction and electron microscopy techniques. Computational simulations of quantum confinement and carrier distribution explain the observed experimental trends of intersubband absorption associated with variation of layer widths, middle barrier composition, and doping density. MBE growth in a metal-accumulation mode is found to be crucial for improving structural conformity to design by reducing interface roughness and thickness and for reaching the telecom-relevant spectral range.

    Perovskite oxides such as LaFeO3 are a well-studied family of materials that possess a wide range of useful and novel properties. Successfully synthesizing perovskite oxide samples usually requires a significant number of growth attempts and a detailed film characterization on each sample to find the optimal growth window of a material. The most common real-time in situ diagnostic technique available during molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) synthesis is reflection high-energy electron diffraction (RHEED). Conventional use of RHEED allows a highly experienced operator to determine growth rate by monitoring intensity oscillations and make some qualitative observations during growth, such as recognizing the sample has become amorphous or recognizing that large islands have formed on the surface. However, due to a lack of theoretical understanding of the diffraction patterns, finer, more precise levels of observations are challenging. To address these limitations, we implement new data analytics techniques in the growth of three LaFeO3 samples on Nb-doped SrTiO3 by MBE. These techniques improve our ability to perform unsupervised machine learning using principal component analysis (PCA) and k-means clustering by using drift correction to overcome sample or stage motion during growth and intensity transformations that highlight more subtle features in the images such as Kikuchi bands. With this approach, we enable the first demonstration of PCA and k-means across multiple samples, allowing for quantitative comparison of RHEED videos for two LaFeO3 film samples. These capabilities set the stage for real-time processing of RHEED data during growth to enable machine learning-accelerated film synthesis.

    Topological materials are among the most attractive candidates for developing terahertz (THz) optoelectronic components due to their topologically protected surface states and strong spin-orbit coupling, which give rise to unique material properties such as ultrafast carrier dynamics and enhanced plasmonic response in the THz range. In this work, we have reviewed the recent progress on the molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) synthesis and THz optoelectronic device applications of the technologically important chalcogenide TI materials: Bi2Se3, Bi2Te3, Sb2Te3, Pb1-xSnxSe alloys, and SnTe. While high-performance and energy-efficient THz devices have been demonstrated using MBE-grown Bi2Se3, Bi2Te3, and Sb2Te3by exploiting their topological properties, THz devices utilizing Pb1-xSnxSe alloys and SnTe films remain to be scarce; yet their topological crystalline insulator (TCI) band structures and well-established MBE synthesis techniques have promised significant potential for advancing next-generation THz platforms in these materials.
