Elastic properties of diamond-type semiconductors
Abstract
The elastic moduli and characteristic lattice vibrational frequencies of semiconductors with diamond, zinc blende, and wurzite semiconductors are reduced to dimensionless parameters. The dimensionless elastic parameters exhibit a much smaller variation from compound to compound than the original parameters. Some generalizations can be made concerning the variation of the dimensionless parameters. © 1962 The American Institute of Physics.
