Abstract

The successful growth of ultrathin CoGa on GaAs by MBE is demonstrated. The crystalline quality of the films is verified by in situ RHEED, RBS, and x-ray rocking curve. Transport studies are performed in the temperature range of 4 to 300 K for layer thickness from 10 to 730 Å, and all the films are found to be electrically continuous. The Markowitz's model [Phys. Rev. B 15, 3617 (1977)] of the electrical resistivity is applied to analyze the measured data. Finally, the specularly scattering probability of these thin films is studied using Fuchs' theory [Proc. Cambridge Philos. Soc. 34, 100 (1938)].
