Abstract

Covalent metallic superlattices and isoelectronic alloys consist of ordered layers of, for example, Si/AlP, Ge/GaAs, and Si/Sb,etc. Depending on design, wide range of electrical properties can result. The covalent, metallic and ionic radii play a crucial role in the stoichiometry of epitaxial systems.
