Abstract
Diffraction anomalous fine-structure measurements performed at both the Ga and As K edges have determined the Ga-As bond length to be 2.442 ± 0.005 {Angstrom} in a buried, 213 {Angstrom} thick Ga^0.78^In0.22As layer grown coherently on GaAs(001). This bond length corresponds to a strain induced contraction of 0.013 ± 0.005 {Angstrom} relative to the Ga-As bond length in bulk Ga1-xInxAs of the same composition. Together with recent extended x-ray absorption fine-structure measurements performed at the In K edge [Woicik et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 79, 5026 (1997)], these data establish the uniform bond-length distortion model for strained-layer semiconductors.
