Bond-length strain in buried Ga1−xInxAs thin-alloy films grown coherently on InP(001)

The bond lengths in a series of strained, buried Ga1−xInxAs thin-alloy films grown coherently on InP(001) have been determined by high-resolution extended x-ray absorption fine-structure measurements. Comparison with a random-cluster calculation demonstrates that the external in-plane epitaxial stra...

Zusammenfassung:The bond lengths in a series of strained, buried Ga1−xInxAs thin-alloy films grown coherently on InP(001) have been determined by high-resolution extended x-ray absorption fine-structure measurements. Comparison with a random-cluster calculation demonstrates that the external in-plane epitaxial strain imposed by pseudomorphic growth opposes the natural bond-length distortions due to alloying.
