Abstract

The recently discovered order-disorder transformations in pseudobinary semiconductor alloys AxB1−xC are shown to belong to a broader class of such transformations in AnB4−nC4 semiconducting compounds (e.g., chalcopyrites, for n=2). Strain energy, set up by the atomic size mismatch between the A–C and B–C bonds, is shown to control the nature of the state of order in chalcopyrites and pseudobinary alloys alike. These considerations lead to a classification of all bulk tetrahedral semiconductors into four classes of order-disorder characteristics.
