Abstract
We have demonstrated selective epitaxial growth of Al_xGa_(1-x)As, with an abrupt transition in the bandgap lateral to the growth direction. Spontaneous compositional modulation, with an associated reduction in the effective bandgap, occurs in AlGaAs grown by molecular beam epitaxy on the sides of grooves in a GaAs substrate. The bandgap is observed to be dependent on the groove orientation. Possible mechanisms for the orientation dependent growth are discussed.
