Indium-Incorporation with In<sub>x</sub>Ga<sub>1-x</sub>N Layers on GaN-Microdisks by Plasma-Assisted Molecular Beam Epitaxy

Indium-incorporation with In<sub>x</sub>Ga<sub>1-x</sub>N layers on GaN-microdisks has been systematically studied against growth parameters by plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy. The indium content (x) of In<sub>x</sub>Ga<sub>1-x</sub>N layer incr...
