Abstract

The role of cation-cation and anion-anion “wrong” bonds at compound semiconductor grain boundaries is investigated. Results are presented for the {110} and {001} inversion domain boundaries in SiC and GaAs. The role of electrostatic effects, compensation of over- and undersaturated bonds, “chemical” reconstructions andbond length relaxations are discussed.
