Description

The effect of instability of alloys of GaxIn1-xP/GaAs(100) semiconductor epitaxial heterostructures in the composition region x ∼ 0.50 is studied by X-ray diffraction and electron microscopy. The possibility of emergence of modulated relaxation structures on the surface of a GaxIn1-xP alloy is shown. This phenomenon is accompanied by the emergence of satellites of main X-ray reflections corresponding to a single-phase structure.
