Ion fluxes were also evaluated by ion current measurements. A good correlation between the supplied atomic N flux and the incorporated nitrogen flux was obtained under a wide range of plasma conditions. It was clarified that the atomic N plays a dominant role in the growth of GaN by PAMBE.}, pages = {172114--172114}, title = {Role of atomic nitrogen during GaN growth by plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy revealed by appearance mass spectrometry}, volume = {90}, year = {2007} }
