Abstract

We have demonstrated that the atomic distribution of constituents in semiconductor alloys is never truly random. There are always interactions causing correlations; the degree and nature of the correlations depend on which interactions dominate and on the growth conditions. While we have identified most of the interactions which are expected to cause correlations, not all of them have been treated completely to date. Therefore, some details remain unclear, but the principal effects can now be appreciated in broad terms.
