Structural Origin of Optical Bowing in Semiconductor Alloys
Abstract
The principle of conservation and transferability of chemical bonds explains the recent discovery by extended x-ray-absorption fine-structure measurements of two unequal anion-cation bond lengths ${R}_{\mathrm{AC}}$ and ${R}_{\mathrm{BC}}$ in ${A}_{x}{B}_{1\ensuremath{-}x}C$ zinc-blende semiconductor alloys despite the close adherence of the lattice constant to the average value (V\'egard rule). This bond alternation, manifested as a structural distortion to a local chalcopyrite coordination around the anions, explains also most of the observed optical bowing in semiconductor alloys.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
