Abstract
The local structure around As in thin InAsxP1-x strained layers in InAsxP1-x/InP superlattices has been probed by fluorescence detected XAFS as a function of composition, and compared to that found in unstrained, bulk samples of similar composition. Contributions up to the third coordination shell around As were clearly visible in the spectra and were analyzed taking into account the major multiple scattering contributions. Differences in the local structure between the thin strained films and the bulk alloys are expected to arise from tetragonal strain due to epitaxy with the substrate. Results are consistent with a picture in which long range order in the strained layers is mainly achieved via bond angle distortions, as first shell bond distances follow the measured and theoretically predicted values of the bulk alloys. Evidence of the influence of tetragonal distortion on the local structure appears in further coordination shells.

What is OpenURL?

The OpenURL standard is a protocol for transmission of metadata describing the resource that you wish to access. An OpenURL link contains article metadata and directs it to the OpenURL server of your choice. The OpenURL server can provide access to the resource and also offer complementary services (specific search engine, export of references...). The OpenURL link can be generated by different means.
  • If your librarian has set up your subscription with an OpenURL resolver, OpenURL links appear automatically on the abstract pages.
  • You can define your own OpenURL resolver with your EDPS Account. In this case your choice will be given priority over that of your library.
  • You can use an add-on for your browser (Firefox or I.E.) to display OpenURL links on a page (see http://www.openly.com/openurlref/). You should disable this module if you wish to use the OpenURL server that you or your library have defined.
