Abstract
A process for growing single crystal epitaxial BaF.sub.2 layers on gallium arsenide substrates by slowly reacting BaF.sub.2 vapor with the clean, hot GaAs substrate at 500.degree. to 700.degree. C. in high vacuum until a uniform, thin (.about.12.ANG.) layer of reaction product is formed and then vapor depositing BaF.sub.2 onto the reaction layer at room temperature to 400.degree. C. to form the single crystal, epitaxial BaF.sub.2 layer.
