Growth of cubic (zinc blende) CdSe by molecular beam epitaxy

Abstract
We report the growth of cubic (zinc blende) CdSe epilayers on [100] GaAs substrates by molecular beam epitaxy. The lattice constant of the CdSe epilayers is 6.077 Å, and the energy gap is 1.75, 1.74, and 1.67 at 10, 80, and 300 K, respectively.
