Abstract

Metamorphic strain compensated InSb/InAsSb0.52 superlattices (SLs) with ultrathin layers and different periods grown on GaSb substrate were designed, fabricated, and characterized. It was shown that a period increase from 3 to 6.2 nm reduced the effective bandgap energy from 70 to 0 meV. A further increase in the period leads to inversion of the valence and conduction bands. Magneto-optical experiments demonstrated that Dirac-like carrier dispersion is characteristic of almost gapless InSb/InAsSb0.52 SLs. Indication of hole transport enhancement over that found in InAsSb/InAsSb SL structures is presented.
