Interface Strain and the Valence Band Offset at the Lattice Matched In0.53Ga0.47As/InP (001) Interface
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 25 February 2011
Abstract
Total energy minimization calculations show that the interface bonds are strained in nominally lattice matched In0.53 Ga0.47As/InP (001) heterostructures, in agreement with recent X-ray measurements. Anion intermixing relieves the interface strain. The calculated valence band offset varies with the interface bond lengths so the minimum energy structure must be used for a given composition. Then the calculated offset is independent of composition and is in good agreement with experiment. A simple model exhibits the qualitative features revealed by these calculations.
