Growth and dissolution kinetics of III-V heterostructures formed by LPE. II. Comparison between thermodynamic and kinetic models

Abstract

In a previous paper, we presented both thermodynamic and kinetic models to describe the nonequilibrium state which occurs naturally when growing heterostructures in the Ga1-xAlxAs system by LPE. In this paper we both develop these two models and show them to be mutually compatible as applied to both the GaAs1-xPx and the Ga 1-xAlxAs systems.
