Abstract :
We present results of in situ reflectance difference (RD) spectroscopy investigations of AlxGa1-xAs grown by molecular beam epitaxy at low temperatures. The linear electro-optic resonances appearing in the RD spectra are utilized to in situ control the nonstoichiometry of LT-AlxGa1-xAs. The results are compared to those obtained for LT-GaAs
