In practice, growing of (Formula presented) layer after GaAs layer, and followed by AlAs layer is a preferred sequence for AlGaAs-based ternary SL’s, as (Formula presented) tends to form relatively rough surfaces, while AlAs has a smoothing effect on the surface before GaAs is grown again [after D. J. Lockwood, R. L. S. Devine, A. Rodriguez, J. Mendialdua, B. Djafari-Rouhani, and L. Dobrzynski, Phys. Rev. B 47, 13 553 (1993)].
