THE COMPOSITION MODULATION EFFECT IN GaInPAs SOLID SOLUTIONS AS A MANIFESTATION OF ENERGY RESONANCE AFTER MATERIAL'S SPINODAL DECOMPOSITION

The Cahn-Hilliard model concepts are extended to describe the spinodal decomposition of Ga$_x$In$_{1-x}$P$_y$As$_{1-y}$ solid solutions grown on the InP substrate. The energy of elastic deformation of the thin layer of a solid solution was calculated on the assumption of its coherent conjugation with the massive InP substrate. The excess energy of component mixing in the solid phase was modeled in accordance with the simple solution model, when the simultaneous substitution of components in the metal and metalloid sub lattices of the sphalerite structure is incorporated. The system of differential equations describing variations of the composition of a semiconductor solid solution after its spinodal decomposition was solved numerically under various thermodynamic conditions.
