Bond Lengths in III–V Ternary Alloy Semiconductors

Abstract
An analysis was applied to 18 different III-V ternary alloy semiconductors. A thermodynamical approach was taken in order to derive relative numbers or statistics of tetrahedron cells, and then the average bond lengths were theoretically calculated. To this extent, they would give us a basic idea of the microstructure of alloy semiconductors. The theoretical results of In1-x Ga x As and GaAs1-x P x agree fairly well with experimental data from extended X-ray absorption fine structures.
