    Notes: In the growth of pseudomorphic strained layers, the critical thickness is the thickness up to which relaxation does not occur and beyond which relaxation occurs by plastic deformation of the layer. Previous theories have concentrated on the strain energy and kinetics of dislocation formation. We present a purely geometrical argument which predicts critical thicknesses and also predicts how relaxation progresses with increasing thickness. We find that the critical thickness, in monolayers, is approximately the reciprocal of the strain. Some relaxation occurs abruptly at critical thickness, and further relaxation is hyperbolic with thickness. The model can also handle multilayer structures. If all the layers have the same sign of strain, the model predicts that relaxation will occur at the lowest interface. These results are found to be in good agreement with experimental observations of dislocations in epitaxial structures of InGaAs grown on GaAs.

    Notes: InxGa1−xAs/GaAs (x≤0.25) strained layers grown by molecular-beam epitaxy have been examined by plan-view transmission electron microscopy. Evidence is presented for the existence of two critical thicknesses, corresponding to the turnover of threading disloca- tions and the nucleation of new dislocations. From a quantitative analysis of dislocation intersections it is deduced that not all interfacial dislocations act to relieve the misfit strain.

    Notes: Formation of defects during Zn diffusion into undoped and semi-insulating Fe-doped InP single crystals at 700 °C was observed by transmission electron microscopy for various diffusion conditions. Agglomerates of predominantly perfect interstitial-type dislocation loops, dislocations, and small indium precipitates inside voids are observed in the Zn-diffused crystal region. In addition, large planar arrays of precipitates are formed by climbing dislocations. From these observations it is concluded that the incorporation of Zn on In sublattice sites creates a supersaturation of In self-interstitials which is relieved by dislocation loop formation leading to a supersaturation of P vacancies and void formation. © 1995 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: A thin layer of frozen neon is condensed onto a cryogenically cooled substrate for use in generating a neon plasma for x-ray laser research. The freezing process and quasiequilibrium state of the layer are discussed. Spectral purity of a neon plasma formed by laser irradiation has been demonstrated. Control of the layer thinness is possible.

    Notes: We report measurements of the plastic relaxation of InGaAs layers grown above critical thickness on GaAs substrates. The relaxation is accurately hyperbolic, proportional to the reciprocal of the layer thickness, in agreement with a recent geometrical theory of critical thickness [D. J. Dunstan, S. Young, and R. H. Dixon, J. Appl. Phys. 70, 3038 (1991)]. At large thicknesses, work hardening is observed which leads to a residual strain dependent on the original misfit.
