Spontaneous Ordering in Semiconductor Alloys [E-Book] / edited by Angelo Mascarenhas.
The phenomenonofspontaneous ordering in semiconductoralloys, which can be categorized as a self-organized process, is observed to occur sponta neously during epitaxial growth of certain ternary alloy semiconductors and results in a modification of their structural, electronic, and optical propertie...
