Edited by means of a pioneer within the box, Thomas Pearsall, this two-volume survey bargains a complete dialogue of the physics of strained-layer superlattices (Volume 32), in addition to detailing fabrication expertise and functions of the cloth (Volume 33). even supposing each one quantity is edited to face by myself, the 2 books mix to hide a extensive spectrum of subject matters, together with molecular beam epitaxy, quantum wells and superlattices, strain-effects in semiconductors, optical and electric houses of semiconductors, and semiconductor units.

REVIEWOF GENERAL Before giving a more detailed description of present understanding of the strain relaxation process via the introduction of misfit dislocations, we will now briefly review the known salient properties of dislocations. , Hirth and Lothe, 1968, and Nabarro, 1967), particularly in metals. , 1977). A perfect or total dislocation may be viewed as the boundary surrounding a slipped region of a crystal. As such, it is a line defect. It is a geometrical property of a perfect dislocation that it cannot simply terminate in the bulk of a crystal, but must rather terminate at a free surface, or upon itself by forming a continuous loop, or at a node with other defects.

Since this is not experimentally possible in the GaAs-Si system, where only one elastic mismatch is possible in the undislocated state, h,(c) is obtained from theoretical models, namely the Matthews-Blakeslee model (1974a,b), and a more recent model by People and Bean (1985, 1986). The results of these models inputted into the Luryi-Suhir model are displayed in Fig. 29 by dotted and dashed lines, respectively. It is observed that these two theoretical curves straddle the experimental transition and are of similar form to the experimental results.

It should be noted that the exact form of this curve depends upon both the dislocation configuration and its structure (Burgers vector). , with its Burgers vector lying within its glide plane) and in a hexagonal half-loop configuration, with one side of the semihexagon lying in the interfacial plane, and the other sides threading to the growth surface.
