Bond Lengths in Strained Semiconductor Alloys

Published

Author(s)

Joseph C. Woicik

Abstract

The bond lengths in a series of strained, buried Ga1-xInxAs thin-alloy films grown coherently on GaAs(001) and InP(001) substrates have been determined by high-resolution extended x-ray absorption fine-structure and diffraction anomalous fine-structure measurements. Comparisons with random-cluster, valence-force field calculations demonstrate that the external in-plane epitaxial strain imposed by pseudomorphic growth opposes the natural bond-length distortions due to alloying.
