Dislocation-induced composition profile in alloy semiconductors
Journal article, 2010

We present a novel computational method by combining the finite element method and the method of moving asymptotes to study the dislocation-induced composition profile in alloy semiconductors. Segregated cylindrical nanoscale regions appear around the dislocation core. We find that the dominant driving force of non-uniform composition is strain contribution. Moreover, the method can be applied to the dislocated nanoscale heterostructures which are inaccessible by atomic treatment. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
