Abstract
A simple model for calculating the nearest neighbor bond length in ternary semiconductors is presented. Calculated bond lengths for Ga1-x In x As agree well with experimental data by EXAFS. The change in bond lengths for Ga0.5In0.5As is only 21%, compared with that calculated using the virtual-crystal approximation approach. Using this model, the change in bond length and bond angle for other ternary zincblend structure alloys can also be easily estimated without using EXAFS.
