Experimental investigations of atomic ordering effects in the epitaxial GaxIn1-xP, coherently grown on GaAs (100) substrates

This is the first report of the calculation of parameters of the crystal lattice in GaxIn1-xP with ordering taking into account the elastic stresses dependent on long-range ordering. Based on the variance analysis data with regard to the IR-reflection spectra as well as the UV-spectroscopy data obtained in the transmission-reflection mode, the main optical characteristics of the ordered GaxIn1-xP alloys were determined for the first time, namely, refractive index dispersion and high-frequency dielectric constant. All of the experimental results were in good agreement with the previously developed theoretical beliefs.
